"Shao Yang's Chrome Legacy collection answered a personal question: What would her grandparents wear in 2075 without abandoning their 1975 selves? The result was 31 looks imagining a future Chinatown where mahjong parlors accept cryptocurrency and dim sum servers dress like Starfleet officers. Wool suiting and pinstripes deconstructed into trapezoidal geometric volumes. Chrome leather met faded denim. The restrained palette—black, white, grey—popped with bursts of highlighter yellow and hot pink. Think retrofuturism with tailoring precision: a future where tradition innovates but doesn't die. Yang spent a decade running The Tailory New York, making custom suits for New York's creative class. At ARTECHOUSE's immersive digital venue, she proved craft isn't nostalgia—it's a bridge. She knows what she's doing."
