Zen Explorer
Zen Explorer is a menswear collection made from antique textiles and naturally dyed fabrics. Historic cloth is collected and sorted by scale, thickness and season, then combined with new material dyed by the traditional indigo method. The indigo is produced through fermentation, without industrial chemicals. Much of the work is done by hand, so traditional crafts and patterns are retained. The collection joins old fabric with contemporary upcycling, and offers durable and unique daily clothing.
Zen Explorer Clothing by Lu Kuan was identified as an innovative example of fashion design by the A' Design Award. Zen Explorer Clothing received the Silver A' Design Award in Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design in 2023. The A' Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade which recognizes superior design of runway collections, dresses, suits, skirts, outerwear, jackets, apparel, garments and more.
