Work history
Creative Director
London, United KingdomFull Time
Point Blank ._ is the multidisciplinary design collective headed by creative duo Yanyu Chung (myself) and Adrienne Lau, fashion designer and architectural designer. Previous collections from the pair have been more than just a fashion show, providing a three-dimensional experience for the viewers and the SS17 ‘Dive In’ collection was no different. This collection was inspired by the 1967 masterpiece by David Hockney, “The Bigger Splash”, and how objects and environments are distorted by water.
Yangyu Chung and Adrienne Lau create their projects by clashing styles and aesthetics to produce original designs. Their projects are a messy exploration of art in all its forms: fashion, film, subculture and taste.
