We teamed up with Mr. Slowboy to create some new jackets and prints to commemorate the launch of his new gallery at the Pedder Arcade.
Mr. Slowboy - a nom de plume affectionately chosen for illustrator Fei Wang's playful perspective on life and fashion - draws inspiration from sources like Indian miniatures, Japanese Ukiyoe and the great Hozumi Kazuo. He has arrived at a witty, subtle style with a love for vintage aesthetics and nostalgia, topped with a playfully modern twist that feels unmistakably contemporary. His signature menswear portraits are instantly recognizable and a delightfully retro breath of fresh air, a deliberately measured antidote to the world of fast fashion.
With 11 years of experience as OgilvyOne Beijing’s former Head of Art and Creative director, Fei Wang’s work in advertising achieved global recognition from the likes of Cannes Lions, D&AD, OneShow and London International. Fei’s passion, however, has always resided with the world of fashion illustration. As an artist, he trained at Singapore’s Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and completed an MA in illustration at London’s Camberwell College of Arts. His unique aesthetic and artistic style has global recognition and he has completed high profile commissions and collaborations internationally for Alfred Dunhill, Lock & Co Hatters, Fox Brothers, Drake’s, BMW MINI, ISETAN, The Armoury, etc.
SHOP PRINTS
We worked with Fei to create a capsule collection of brightly colored City Hunter jackets that bridge the gap between his colorful illustrations and a classic wardrobe staple.
