LABEL CONCEPT
Re-imagining design, fashion and art, MAE PANG is an independent concept label at the intersection of aesthetics and innovation.
Inspired by the greats such as London's Dover Street Market and Colette in Paris, Ai Mei loves to work with local and international designers across all disciplines, creating a forum for the experimental design/ concept enthusiast, cult fashion follower and intuitive modernist.
MAE PANG aims to be
"...a kind of market where various creators from various fields gather together and encounter each other in an ongoing atmosphere of beautiful chaos, the mixing up and coming together of different kindred souls who all see a strong personal vision".
Rei Kawakubo of Dover Street Market (DSM)
