It’s no secret that I’m a lover of co-ords that brings ease to dressing. The same can be said for artists who typically opt for matching sets to bring a vibe when they’re in the limelight of the stage. However co-ord does not equate to simplistic dressing and in some cases fashion offers more complex, stylistic co-ords which are more suited to performance than functionality.
One brand that truly understands stage clothing and the art of creating performance ready attire is CI W EN RC. The young designer experiments with fabrics to create head turning statement pieces. Her crocodile skinned ‘dragon set’ in vibrant green seen on the likes of artist Pheelz, was the first introduction I had to her craft. Since then, I’ve witnessed her genius unfold in garments such as metallic ruched co-ords, reflective sets, and more recently, a crocheted cropped hoodie and skirt.
CI W EN’s pieces facilitate movement, offering breathability through design, whether it’s the roomy jackets or the sleeveless pieces, they’re ideal for any performance. With a made to order and rental structure, her brand is a proven hit among stylists. So for those with dressing needs, it’s CIWEN you’re on the stage!
