JUN JIE is a New York-based unisex fashion label founded by designer Jun Jie Yang in 2017, following his graduation from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. With an emphasis on impeccable construction and unexpected volume, JUN JIE seeks to provide a uniform for a new fashion generation. The brand made it’s New York Fashion Week debut during the SS18 season as a winner of VFILES Runway 9. JUN JIE has also been seen on the worlds top artists and celebrities including Rihanna, Lil Yachty, A$AP Ferg and Gucci Mane.

For SS19, JUN JIE takes inspiration from the 1970’s retrofuturism art movement and the Sci-Fi references that informed the work of that time. The collection serves as a modern interpretation of this retro trend and targets a modern young generation. The collection features a focus on new silhouettes with exaggerated and challenging proportions, and various print and fabric manipulation techniques.
