"It feels like Eastern and Western cultures converge at this very point," Wei explains. Reimagined by the design team, a light, ethereal winged horse appears as a print on selected T-shirts, transforming an ancient symbol into a modern visual statement.
The collaboration itself mirrors this cultural dialogue. In 2024, H&M partnered with Shanghai Fashion Week to launch the Chinese Designer Collaboration Project, supporting emerging Chinese designers in creating collections that are rooted in local culture while engaging with contemporary design. The partnership with Jacques Wei marks the program's second season.
