When was the first time you came across the name "Edison Chen"? If it is from his first Mandarin album "Ed Is On", it is actually nearly ¼ century ago. During this period of time, Edison Chen has shed his idol status. Now, he is a curator, creative director, and an icon of street brands. Of course, "Alaia's dad" is the title he loves and enjoys the most.
But for all fashion lovers, "Edison Chen" and "CLOT" are like the "yin-yang" that he refers to often. Edison Chen is CLOT, and CLOT has long been part of Edison Chen's DNA.
2023 was the 20th anniversary of CLOT. From the beginning to the end of the year, CLOT has been busy throughout with many captivating and distinguished collaboration projects. Thanks to "Within", I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to different cities with this Chinese pop culture ICON and witness the 20th anniversary of CLOT's booming history. The editorial team of "Within" spent nearly a year interviewing his friends, staff, and fans, and found one thing in common: passion. You can feel that same energy from Edison Chen; the EDC team discovered this through observing the books he reads, the music he listens to and the movies he likes; they are all so intuitive, so Edison Chen.
"Trend" reflects the popular status of an era, a hobby, and a craze. However, when you continue to invest in the craze for 20 years, it will become a "culture." Edison Chen used his 20 years with the CLOT team to tell us: "Trust your intuition, practice it yourself, invest and enjoy every minute of the process." And we believe that EDC and CLOT will carry on in the next 20 years!
