Selenee, an avant-garde fashion brand founded in 2023, unveiled its latest collection at NeueHouse Hollywood on March 16 during Los Angeles Fashion Week. The collection, titled “Garden of Forking Path,” draws inspiration from the 1941 short story of the same name by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. Known for its exploration of infinite possibilities and quantum mechanics, the story influenced the design of Selenee’s Fall/Winter 2025 line, which reflects complexity and layered sophistication in each piece.
The collection features a variety of looks, including flowing fabrics, classic plaid elements, intricately detailed leather trench coats, corset-like coats, balloon sleeves, suit dresses, wool blousons, and capes. Selenee’s blend of vintage fashion with modern avant-garde sensibilities stands out, further solidifying the brand’s unique identity in the fashion world.
Motong Yang, the founder and artistic director of Selenee, shared her vision behind the collection, describing it as a symbol of creative rebirth. “Every path is a choice, giving infinite possibilities,” she remarked. Yang emphasized that Los Angeles, the city where her dreams began, provided the perfect backdrop for the collection, which she views as a return to her creative roots and an encouragement for others to pursue their dreams.
Yang’s background as an installation and visual artist informs Selenee’s approach to fashion, combining art and design while prioritizing sustainability. The collection includes notable pieces such as the Sutton skirt set, featuring a houndstooth pattern that honors a century-old dress style, the Syrus suit with broad shoulders for a modern take on a vintage silhouette, and the Stetson suit, which brings an air of elegance to casual fashion trends.
“The latest collection is a journey of transformation and self-discovery,” said Yang. “My inspiration comes from the Loop and Knot Closure, symbolizing the cycle of growth—fastening the past while extending into the future.”
The pieces reflect various stages of life, from the youthful “Ethereal Echo” garments to the resilient “Shadow Valor” items, representing maturity. Avant-garde silhouettes that challenge tradition are featured in the “Beyond Boundaries” section. The collection culminates in the stunning finale gowns, Lunar Bloom and Midnight Bloom, which blend passion, mystery, and elegance, symbolizing the brand’s poetic evolution.
Selenee’s collection is now available for purchase on the brand’s website. The event attracted notable guests including Mercedes Blanche, Amanza Smith, Amber Liu, Shuang Hu, Kelly Bensimon, Jarry Lee, Roxxy Manning, and more.
