The INK capsule collection draws on inspirations of ancient traditional Chinese ink paintings with images of nature.
Ink and Brush painting is one of China's oldest and best known art forms; its centrality to Chinese art history is comparable to that of oil painting in Western art since the Renaissance. Its sophisticated techniques allow for the recording of delicate visual impressions on absorbent rice paper. Traditional artists who work in this medium usually create black-and- white works which are understood and evaluated in relation to a system termed the “rhythm of the ink,” through which subtly different applications and gradients of ink--including wet, dry, light, dark, and others--express concepts such as purity, self-reflection, and human nature.
Each piece is handmade in New York City with hand painted design details and original artwork featuring a collaboration with Stephanie's father, artist Xiang Zhang. Due to it's custom nature, no one piece is exactly the same.
