RUI presented its “Towards The Endless Flow” FW23 collection at Galerie Bertrand Grimont during Paris Fashion Week.

For this collection, Chinese designer Rui Zhou went beyond what she used to show at her eponymous label, and to the ultra sexy knitted ensembles were added tops and skirts that covered much more the body, as well as sweaters, wide-leg pants and coats. Even so, we were still able to see Zhou’s signature style with tight-fitting garments with cut-out details, and her typical mini bras combined with fishnet dresses.

The creative has opted to expand the range by including different textures and shapes, playing with three-dimensional silhouettes in belts, bags, dresses and tops. Velvet, wool, mohair and cashmere are added to the characteristic knit in the materials. These new fabrics resulted in an autumn and winter version of Zhou’s signature garments.

It is a clear example of how a designer can evolve her collections by adding extensions to her style without losing coherence or her visual identity.
