Zen Explorer
Zen Explorer is a menswear collection made from antique textiles and naturally dyed fabrics. Historic cloth is collected and sorted by scale, thickness and season, then combined with new material dyed by the traditional indigo method. The indigo is produced through fermentation, without industrial chemicals. Much of the work is done by hand, so traditional crafts and patterns are retained. The collection joins old fabric with contemporary upcycling, and offers durable and unique daily clothing.
Zen Explorer Clothing by Lu Kuan has been highlighted as an innovative representation of fashion design by the A' Design Award.

The A' Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design prize which celebrates excellent design of runway collections, dresses, suits, skirts, outerwear, jackets, apparel, garments and more.
