About
Hong Kong based menswear label, The World is Your Oyster was founded in 2014 by designers Calvin Chan and Joyce Kun. Merging formal tailoring with elements of streetwear, the brand’s debut collection was picked up by JOYCE. The following year they won Lane Crawford’s “The Next New Campaign,” and were also selected as the only Hong Kong brand to represent the “Year of China” at New York’s Opening Ceremony. The brand is stocked at prestigious boutiques around the world, including countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Italy and France.

Capsule Collection
The World Is Your Oyster has an inverted vision for menswear; aiming to revalue the way modern men dress. This capsule collection is an expression of human relationship inspired by Jack Kerouac’s novel, “On the Road”. The collection demonstrates the interaction and interference between people. The juxtaposition of fabric and clothing, as well as fold details, play an important role in the collection. By reinventing traditional clothing with experimental details and distinctive fabrication, it creates something interestingly new with a sense of youthful spirit. With some details hidden in the clothes, it allows the wearers to explore themselves. The blending of formal wear characteristics and streetwear elements adds a subtle yet rebellious attitude to the collection.
