Giant pom-poms, strawberry-pattern sweaters and massively-oversized knits are just a few of the things that Chinese designer Yang Du is famous for. That's aside from being a bit bonkers, too. A previous intern for John Galliano, Vivienne Westwood and Giles Deacon, the former Central Saint Martins student established her own label in 2009 and has been creating statement pieces ever since. She describes her designs as "relaxed, humorous and sexy" and her clothes walk the fine line between fashion and art. The fashion press have dubbed her a 'surrealist designer', a label which her S/S 10 collection 'Mr Right Town' has cemented, featuring cartoon animals and graphic prints. When it comes to Yang Du, the old saying applies: Expect the unexpected.
