Like the rest of us, the Private Policy designers want peace on earth. Inspired by the tale of Noah’s Ark, designers Siying Qu and Haoran Li began to think about contemporary equivalents. “In the modern day, we’re all like the animals [on Noah’s Ark]. At first, you’re all strangers, but then you escape the world together the minute you enter the nightclub,” said Qu. The spring 2023 show, which took place at a firehouse in Chinatown, had models strutting outside in their platform heels on the sidewalk before they went inside to join the party.
Designing clubwear is what Qu and Li do best. This season, they chose a symbolic dove print as their hero pattern. Using a mesh fabric and shimmering sequins to reflect the dove flying against a shining moon, they made club-ready but perhaps not flash-friendly cutout tops, mini dresses, and bikinis. The utilitarian style the two are known for with their menswear remained prevalent, with large practical pockets donning every cargo pant and work vest. And with clubwear, you can’t forget about playing with proportions. Pairing itty-bitty bra tops with baggy denim and spaghetti strap tanks with oversized cargos, Qu and Li perfected the popular nightlife combo.
And the Private Policy designers are growing up. They’re no longer the new kids on the block; it’s been 7 years since they launched their collection. “We definitely grew a lot since the beginning. We are more drawn to easy, effortless pieces in which people can feel special,” said Qu. “But at the same time, we just want to inspire people with the runway look and have them think, ‘Oh, I can wear that. I can be a guy in a strappy tank top for next summer.’” And with growing up also comes experimenting. The finale look was the designers’ first ever bridal look. Made out of recycled polyester satin, they paired it with a thrifted veil: it was anything but conventional. “It’s really fun. I thought if Private Policy ever did a bridal look, that would be our dress,” said Qu. “It’s easy. Once you take off the veil, you can go right to work in it the next day.”
Maybe the designers are onto something. Perhaps the key to peace on earth just requires letting loose, looking hot, and heading to the club.
