Paper as structure. Garment as document. Identity folded, bound, and worn.
Fan Pan constructs not clothing, but systems of memory — a precise architecture between fragility and form.

​Paper as structure. Garment as document. Identity folded, bound, and worn.
London-based designer Fan Pan, originally from China, constructs clothing as a system of memory. Her material, paper, operates between fragility and endurance, drawing on Eastern papermaking traditions and contemporary fabrication.

Her collection Threaded Identities studies translation: material into form, identity into document. Six looks unfold as chapters, folded books, bound seams, pop-up architectures. Pages become sleeves; spines become structure. The act of wearing becomes the act of editing.

Paper resists sentiment. It creases, bends, records. The tension defines the silhouette. Volume alternates with void; transparency with density. The absence of colour directs attention to fibre and grain, the quiet evidence of touch.

SOEdited are always looking out for those exceptional designers, artists, in fact, who shift fashion toward art. Fan Pan does exactly that: treating garment as language, memory as construction.

Threaded Identities ends not with conclusion but with trace, the sound of folding, the imprint of use. In Pan’s work, clothing ceases to perform status. It becomes archive, system, architecture, a framework for remembering.
