Fashion Scout the international showcase for fashion pioneers has announced the London-based eponymous brand WEN PAN as the winner of the globally acclaimed SS20 Merit Award. Created in 2009 and now in its tenth year, the new talent initiative supports the winning designer across two seasons and has been created to support and develop new designer businesses on a global level. In winning this season’s Merit Award, WEN PAN will receive a fully sponsored catwalk show with Fashion Scout during London Fashion Week SS20 with space to host press and buyers. The Merit Award provides a unique platform for the brightest new designers, with many going on to become established labels within the international fashion industry.

WEN PAN is a London based womenswear label launched in 2018 and now in its third season. The brand fuses the spirit of oriental recluses with romantic grunge aesthetics. By using raw fluidity and layers of textures, WEN PAN evokes characters in a balance of subtlety and freedom. The design journey always starts with human traces and the attitude from the common people, ending with timeless deconstructed pieces, which translate brokenness into delicacy.
