The person and the label
Who is behind ZIGGY CHEN?
Ziggy Chen told Metal that he has always lived in Shanghai, and he started his label there in 2012, at 42, after years in the garment industry. The Fédération describes it as a project about the meeting of tradition and the present, built on simple volumes and close research into materials; Metal points to natural fabrics, workwear shapes and details such as a ramie lining, set against Chinese aesthetics and Western tailoring.

Ziggy Chen appeared on every official Paris menswear calendar we checked, from January 2023 to June 2026: presentations in 2023, runway shows from FW24 to SS26, a presentation for FW26 and a show again for SS27.
