Vancouver-based Roden Gray presents its latest editorial for the 2017 spring/summer season. Inspired by the vision of Wong Kar Wai and Christopher Doyle, the images are reminiscent of movies such as In The Mood For Love, Chungking Express and Happy Together. According to the editorial’s Creative Director Jacky Huang, “I wanted to make a tribute to Chinatown Vancouver and its cultural aspect. The Vancouver community has attracted intense interest from developers, pitting cultural history with a changing demographic, as gentrification begins to take away the oldest part of our city. “

The lookbook features apparel and accessories from brands such as sacai, Wonders, kolor, Larose, Thom Browne and more. Footwear includes shoes from visvim, nonnative, Vans and Golden Goose Deluxe Brand. Shop Roden Gray’s selection here.
