After winning the 2022 Andam Fashion Awards, he applied for the Haute Couture Official Calendar under the guidance and support of Chanel’s President of Fashion, Bruno Pavlovsky. His application was approved after a unanimous vote by a board of 25 CEOs from luxury giants such as Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel and Givenchy at The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM). This marks the first time an Haute Couture Week applicant has received a unanimous vote, which stands as a shining testament to Wun’s talent.

Born in Hong Kong, Wun studied at the prestigious London College of Fashion and caught the attention of local luxury retailer Joyce Boutique with his womenswear graduate collection. After launching his eponymous label in 2014, the London-based designer made a name for himself through his futuristic, sculptural silhouettes, which have been spotted on the likes of Lady Gaga, Blackpink’s Lisa, Cardi B, Bretman Rock and more.
