Imuy Teav

GENTLE MAN

This collection aims to push the boundaries of menswear and contribute to the global discussion about masculinity in fashion. Imuy took inspiration from the female form and male workwear during the Victorian era. She choose this time because it was significant in creating early ideologies of the ideal male and female fashion. Born and raised in Cambodia and she moved to New Zealand at the end of 2014 completing a bachelor of Fashion Design at AUT and has just completed her honours degree. Fashion is a vehicle for Imuy to express her creativity.
