MingPin Tien is a London based Taiwanese designer, he completed his Fashion Design and Technology in Womenswear at the London College of Fashion.
He was a winner of the One’s to Watch Spring/Summer 2013 Collection and launched his debut collection with Vauxhall Fashion Scout last season.
This collection is based on pattern alteration, taking familiar forms such as trench coats, shirts, tailored jackets and manipulating them. Regular patterns are destroyed by using cut-out and dissymmetrical pattern cutting methodology. Main front panels are maintained in order to deliver an illusion of perfection from the front view.
He uses a strong palette of stone, beiges, olive greens mixed with rich burgundies and rust browns.
