This London Fashion Week, Chinese fashion house Mithridate debuted its first collection since joining the event’s official schedule. To mark such a significant milestone, Creative Director Demon Zhang delivered a deeply personal tribute to heritage, roots, and home. Mithridate’s newest collection honours Yunnan, a southwestern Chinese province renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, vibrant ethnic diversity, and rich cultural traditions.
Known as the “Flower Kingdom” and the second-largest flower trading hub globally, the province’s essence blossomed as the foundation of the collection. Taking over London’s Somerset House, Mithridate’s SS25 presentation was a colourful explosion of vibrant hues, paying homage to ancient techniques through premium textures.
