Edison Chen | A Visionary Force
As the visionary force behind the thriving global lifestyle brand CLOT, Chen wears the hats of both Founder and Creative Director with distinction. His journey unfolds from the shores of Vancouver to the vibrant streets of Hong Kong during his formative years, sparking a captivating fusion of East and West. In this collision of cultures, Chen’s metamorphosis began, weaving a tapestry of experiences and fresh outlooks that exposed him to globalism. These transformative moments served as the seeds of what would blossom into a dynamic entity, recognised today as CLOT.
“With adidas, we’re creating to inspire. I think the ability to freely create something is one of the reasons why I do this. My whole aesthetic, especially in the past few years, has fully transformed. I haven’t had the chance to create through that lens yet, which is why this collaboration is exciting and nerve-wracking for me because we’re heading in that direction through this partnership. I’m coming in with a new inspiration. I spent the summer in Europe immersing myself in the Adidas brand, which gave me a new point of view. The new EDC vibe is more chic than street. After the 20th year, I’m more excited than ever.”
