MENG
A stylish legacy
The silky instrument that brings together an artsy
journey and a lavish lifestyle.
The bright and colourful world of MENG is a paradise for
visual storytellers. Their prints contain motifs from nature, art, culture,
fashion, interiors and architecture. Those bold exotic prints are the most instantly
noticeable signature for MENG. They may give impression of being mainstream
Chinese drawing paints, but in fact they are a unique blend of folkloric and
contemporary design inspirations. It immerses authentic traditional oriental
prints in cuttings of a modern style.
MENG was founded in 2003. The director of the brand, Meng Zhang
has an impressive CV with the experience of having an executive role in Chanel,
being the former Head Buyer at Lane Crawford and the Buying Director at the Inditex
Group. Being the founder of an international fashion business is not easy for Meng,
but she is well equipped with an MBA from London Business School, an MA from
London College of Fashion and art studies at Central Saint Martins and the
Royal College of Art.
MENG’s debut collection included a variety of styles in
womenswear, accessories and homeware. Loungewear is actually just the start of
things for Meng, whose stunning ready-to-wear, beachwear, kimono and kaftans
have also received great applauds. What make them really stand out from the
other brands in the market are their glamorous silk and colourful prints. These
excite all the fashion enthusiasts and Meng dazzled the loungewear industry
with a wearable work of art, rather than delivering just another collection
under the classic categories of ‘cosy
cashmere’ or ‘sexy and lacy’.
Check out their latest – the Escape of the Nightingale - a
refreshing collection about a fearless Eastern princess who wishes to be free
and lush after her own beauty. Most of Meng’s amazing collections are now
stocked in major department stores internationally and are available at
Harrods, Selfridges, Fenwick Bond Street, Neiman Marcus, Tsum and Steffl.
