Jade Palace’s newest and first addition of a contemporary fashion brand is YAT PIT. A Hong Kong based brand founded by UK born Jason Mui and Hong Kong born On Ying Lai, YAT PIT’s collection and identity serves to question many established norms – an attitude that is reflective of the changing youth culture of Hong Kong.
To celebrate the partnership of Jade Palace being their only stockist in the UK and Europe, Jade Palace is releasing a limited edition publication of 50 copies. Jade Palace Collective presents: YAT PIT – a collection of printed objects that crosses between a brand book and lookbook exploring the narrative of Jade Palace and YAT PIT’s shared Chinese identity, grassroots culture and a renewed energy to re-love a culture lost through their mutual affinity towards “ugly beauty”.
‘Jade Palace’s items speaks differently to each discerning individual’s background and interests – one person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Similarly, YAT PIT follows the ethos of ugly beauty – your ugly is my beautiful and my beautiful is your ugly, just as the velvet skirt from their collection which features a painted Hong Kong Harbour inspired by tacky souvenir paintings sold to tourists.’ – Kelly Cho
