Romon Yang, creative director of Yang Yu Hong, is a Chinese Australian creative and textiles artist based in Sydney, Australia. He draws inspiration from postmodern ideologies and avant garde design methods with the use of primarily black fabrics and textures within his work.
The brand’s ethos not only seeks to continue the current conversation of textile sustainability by staying true to the fundamental aspects of sustainable fashion practice but also strives to push the social boundaries and traditional standards within 'menswear'.
Current and future garments produced by Yang Yu Hong cannot be labelled as 'brand new' as they all would have originated from pre-used garments, second hand materials and / or deadstock fabrics.
The resulting works are usually 1 of 1 or limited series garments that not only reflect Romon's personal sense of aesthetics, but also highlights motifs that are symbolic to his cultural heritage with a strong focus on conceptual design and storytelling.
