Following Miss Sohee, Matty Bowan, Tomo Koizumi, Karoline Vitto, and Feben, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana announced the next designer being part of the Supported by Dolce&Gabbana initiative aiming to encourage young creative talent.

The duo will support London and Shanghai-based Canadian Chinese designer Susan Fang this time. The collection is offered to buyers by The Alphabet Showroom, which represents her internationally.
The project is in collaboration with fashion stylist Katie Grand, as well as the Shanghai Fashion Designers Association and the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana.

Dolce & Gabbana will support Fang in the creation and presentation of her new collection, providing all fabrics and materials to organising a catwalk showcase at Dolce & Gabbana’s premises via Broggi 23 in Milan, during Milan Fashion Week in September.

“It is important to always have a story and emotions to tell, and through her delicate, romantic, and dreamy designs, Susan manages to clearly convey her passion for this profession, with her young and fresh look. For this reason, we are delighted to support her on such a special occasion, bringing her creativity to Milan,” said in a statement Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

Fang, a graduate of Central Saint Martins in London, launched her label in 2017 and has previously showcased her collections during London Fashion Week. Her designs are known for being nature-inspired and utilising innovative techniques, blending pastel shades, fractal patterns, and light fabrics, as well as sustainable practices realized through meticulous handcrafting.

“I feel so incredibly fortunate to have the support of such an iconic Maison behind my collection this season. Working with Dolce & Gabbana alongside the wonderful support that I have received from Katie Grand, Camera Nazionale Della Moda Italiana, and the Shanghai Fashion Designers Association has been instrumental, creating so many new opportunities along the creative journey," commented Fang. “Drawing on the rich cultural commonalities between China and Italy, we have incorporated elements of design and technique that celebrate both traditions. We have felt a part of the Dolce & Gabbana family from day one and are thrilled to present what will be a very exciting collection during Milan Fashion Week this September.”
