In Chinese culture, there is no bigger celebration than the annual Spring Festival, otherwise known as the Lunar New Year, or Chinese New Year. It is traditionally a season of celebration, prosperity and indulgence—whether gastronomically, monetarily, or sartorially. This year, we usher in the Year of the Ox, and while we may still be restricted by coronavirus precautions, there’s no better time to show off your fashion chops as you go visiting relatives and friends, and attending reunion feasts (in socially safe groups of eight, natch).
Of course, fashion brands are celebrating the impending bullish season with their homages to the theme of the year. The dominant motif? Beloved oxen in all shapes and sizes. Over at Kate Spade, Disney’s Clarabelle and Friends take centre stage; Moschino has designed a playful winking cow for its capsule; and at various other brands such as Givenchy, Moncler and Saint Laurent, the second Chinese Zodiac animal takes centre stage on both ready-to-wear and accessories in stylish incarnations.
So if you’re looking for an auspicious start to CNY, look no further than the gallery below for the best of the Chinese New Year capsule collections.
