The Emotion of Music Inspires C2H4's Case #R003 "My Own Private Planet" SS21 Collection
Accompanied a limited Nike SB Dunk Low remake by designer Yixi Chen.
Following its Case #R002 “Filtered Reality” collection, C2H4 has returned to build on the aesthetic universe it has established with its latest Spring/Summer 2021 collection.
Titled Case #R003 “My Own Private Planet,” the range is inspired by a fictional independent planet is an intimate reflection of the composition, passion and emotion of designer Yixi Chen. The celestial habitat in the minor spiral arm in a distant galaxy features inhabitants that speak “Sonata.” The planet thrives with music as a language, poetry as a format and mathematics as the religion.
Throughout the collection, C2H4 decorates with a unique pattern made up of deformed “Atom”, “Guitar”, “Rose”, “Music Note” and “Score” motifs. Utilizing embroidery, heat transfer and digital printing, the imagery elaborates on a duality of affection and conflict. Another striking element employed is a diverse collage of textiles that mirrors the interaction of music. While layering expresses a rebellious creative nature often tied with progressive forms in music.
Additionally, to build on the musical inspiration of the Case #R003 “My Own Private Planet” SS21 collection, Yixi has remade her favorite Nike SB Dunk Low with musical elements. Limited to 26 pairs, the hand remade sneakers features temperature-sensitive leather by Ecco Leather and custom hardware as accenting details. While embroidery and patches continue the use of musical elements found throughout the garment range.
