This ensemble from XANDER ZHOU’s Spring/Summer 2025 High Tech Couture Collection, titled ‘Anachronotale’, balances elegance and grotesque. Inspired by the contrasting worlds of ballet de cour (Court Ballet) and commedia dell’arte (Italian Comedy of Art), this collection stages a time-defying carnival – exploring the tension between order and chaos, refinement and rebellion.
A light blue dress shirt with classic collars and cuffs is paired with a dark grey double-breasted waistcoat, featuring an asymmetrical cut and side cravat. The light grey, form-fitting trousers with structured, tutu-like flares add a dramatic touch. A golden brooch on the left lapel and a cane complete the blend of theatrical and futuristic concepts.
