ApuJan’s collections have distinctive attributes due to the idiosyncratic sources of inspiration, those being books, fantasy, space and imagination. The SS20 collection called ‘A Strange Thief of Time’ narrates a story taking place in a fantasy world of the designer’s imagination. Elements of dinosaurs, keys, clocks, tree branches and space objects contribute into creating visual and tactile imagery suggesting of what this world of fantasy looks and feels like.

Apujan also had a collaboration with NIKE again in this season, who provided footwear for the show in the form of the APUJAN iD trainers. The shoes work with specific color palettes and will feature accessories such as dinosaur bones, books pages and flowers.

This season’s key focus is classic pyjama silhouettes,  neon trimmings, contrasting colours and cuts paired with vintage blanket prints and dramatic star prints made from recycled yarn, all topped off with printed metallic gauzes to resemble the halo of light so often associated with angelic beings. The collection aims to bring alive the serious threats posed to nocturnal wildlife, plant life and human insomnia which have been created through artificial light pollution in the modern world. 

SS20 is a reflection of Simon Mo’s idea to hold an insomniac party for all humans, animals and plants wandering through the night.
