Si Leong Chan, a London College of Fashion student, has created a series of unusual menswear jackets surrounding the theme of “Hug Me”.
In Chan’s words, the collection “makes use of hand movement especially the hug to express the (dis)connection between people to people. “Hands” are the key point of the collection and a very figurative object to express this abstract idea.”
I particularly like this jacket’s group hug humor. Its intricate construction is worth admiring too. To see more of Chan’s Final Major Project for Fall 2012 including beautiful concept sketches and the fashion show click here.

It’s a sweet idea and looks like it would be very handy (sorry…) for holding hats, sunglasses, goggles etc. But maybe not one for the ladies??
