LUMEN: A Contemporary Reflection on Tradition and Renewal
As the Lunar New Year approaches, the conversation around festive fashion often turns toward a balance of heritage and modernity. The LUMEN capsule collection by Sabrina Goh emerges as a quiet yet profound expression of this seasonal transition. Rather than relying on overt symbolism, the collection explores the concept of renewal through the sophisticated interplay of form, structure, and movement.
The Art of the Knot: Reimagining Heritage
The core inspiration for LUMEN is drawn from the intricate geometry of traditional Chinese artistry. Specifically, the collection finds its voice in the structural beauty of the Chinese knot and the delicate complexity of the 冰花结, or Ice Flower Knot. By deconstructing these symbols and reassembling them into wearable silhouettes, the designs pay homage to the past while maintaining a strictly contemporary aesthetic.
Balance, Clarity, and Continuity
In this collection, every line and fold is intentional. The silhouettes are crafted to reflect a sense of balance and clarity, mirroring the personal reflections that often accompany the start of a new year. There is a focus on continuity—the idea that tradition is not a static point in time but a fluid movement that evolves with us. Each piece is designed to carry its meaning softly, offering a sophisticated alternative for those seeking a mindful start to the year.
The LUMEN collection invites fashion enthusiasts to experience a different side of festive dressing—one where tradition is felt through the craftsmanship of the garment rather than just seen. For those looking to explore these unique interpretations of form and structure, the full collection is currently available at the Sabrina Goh boutique located at Raffles City (03-33).
