oqLiq 2022 Fall Winter at London Fashion Week
22nd February 2022, London Fashion Week
oqLiq
AW 22-23
“ SPACETIME”
Taiwanese brand, oqLiq, focuses on creating high-end performance fashion using technical fabrics with an emphasis on functional simplicity. Based in Tainan, Taiwan, 10 years in the industry have resulted in oqLiq garnering much global attention and this season marks the return to London Fashion week with a cinematic and abstract digital showcase.
For FW22 at London Fashion Week, oqLiq transports the viewers to a futuristic and imaginative world. Taking the essence of Taoism, which holds harmony and unity as its core values, and embedding it
throughout the collection with a subtle East Asian aesthetic to create considered pieces where each element is purposeful and adds to the multifunctional nature of the garment.
When the film starts, a large spherical camera emerges, representing the viewer and pulling the audience into oqLiq’s world. Earthy color palettes are reflected in the immense landscape of the digital world with the infinite deserts and towering cityscapes. The four heavenly kings are seen morphing into humans to portray the idea of people striving to find peace in a world filled with uncertainty and unrest, and how kindness in human nature is transformative enough to carry the human race through the current disruption to our world.
The design team focuses on technical design and innovative materials with minimalist utilitarian features to complete and redefine urban outdoor clothing.
In terms of materials, oqLiq has incorporated the use of a lightweight fabric made from oyster shells combined with recycled plastic bottles this season; the fabric is then fused together with insulation layers via a high-pressure sealing process to minimize stitching hence keeping the heat trapped between the wearer and the clothing. As always, Oqliq’s process starts from the fabrics – from there, founders and designers Kay and Orbit build each of their creations into a piece of high-quality garments with a real purpose for their everyday customers.
