“Nuo Chen is a menswear student from Parsons School of Fashion. Nuo’s graduate collection is an homage to the migrant workers who dedicate themselves to the development of a city they don’t even belong to.
“I was inspired by the many Chinese artists like Ai Weiwei and Xubing who moved to New York during the 80s to pursue the freedom of speech and creating arts. I was specifically inspired by a photo series taken by Ai Weiwei which he documented the authentic & everyday scene of himself and friends in New York. I was also inspired by the song and experience of Patti Smith, the poems by Dylan Thomas. All these things provide me energy and guide me to continue pursuing what I dreamt about.” – said the designer
