Joe Chia at Orimono
Joe Chia launched his label in Kuala Lumpur in 2012, after studying at Raffles Design Institute in Malaysia. Collections are released as numbered chapters and draw on Malaysia's multicultural heritage and workwear, reworked into boxy, layered silhouettes in a mostly monochrome palette. Natural fibres lead, mainly linen, cotton and wool, with sarong-inspired drapes and pleating as recurring signatures.
We have carried Joe Chia since 2015: shirts, pleated wool trousers, jersey and knitwear, alongside the label's sneakers and accessories. Pieces like the Drapeform sarong drape trousers and Windu pleated wool pants show the approach: familiar shapes, cut with extra volume and asymmetric folds.
