Mithridate showcased their AW24 collection, transforming the runway into a captivating tale of elegance, where every garment has a story to tell. "This collection delves into themes of time, identity, and fate," shares Demon Zhang. "In life, we often feel bound by destiny, yet in moments of adversity, we yearn for a chance to rewrite our story. It's only through overcoming these challenges that we find the power to embrace a fresh beginning."

As the collection is revealed, it serves as a poignant reminder that while fate has its power, we decide our own story, shaping our destiny with every step we take.

Mithridate presents a breathtaking collection. Luxurious fabrics like plush velvets and gleaming metallics intertwine with ornate embroidery, intricate leatherwork, and delicately crafted floral motifs. Details such as chain hardware and shimmering rhinestone embellishments infuse the pieces with a sophisticated touch. The colour scheme incorporates vibrant shades of crimson, coral pink, deep marine, and radiant gold.

The collection is a celebration of individuality, a mix of sartorial expression and artistic expression. The use of historical influences and contemporary sensibilities, resulted in a captivating and forward-thinking collection. Offering us an invitation to explore the beauty inherent in our journey through existence.

If you get chosen, you go through a course of training, from music to the music business. As a private person, what would you say you like to do when you’re not producing or in the studio? Like what do you do outside of music? I like to call my friend Abby (also a member of his team) to go to the cinema to see a movie together. Movies are a big part of our frien
