Established in late 2019, SHAOFEN is a gender-fluid design label committed to functional, versatile clothing that doesn't compromise on style or comfort. An alumna of London College of Fashion now based in Kuala Lumpur, Shaofen is recognised for her simplicity and attention to detail, playing between masculine and feminine elements drawn from everyday life. Her aim is to deliver timeless pieces for anyone who wants to look effortlessly dressed every day. 

Shaofen's collection for Fashion Futures, "Now or Never," merges her design approach with laser-cut fabric techniques that maximize material usage by reapplying off-cuts as texture. The tactile manipulation mimics the lightness of feathers, pushing the boundaries of fabric waste into striking yet wearable pieces.
