Menswear designer Eden Tan took home the highest honor of the L’Oréal Professionnel Young Talent Award. His collection, titled “On Borrowed Fabric,” centers around sustainability, drawing on his hobby of tinkering to develop recent techniques. Each look from his collection was crafted out of an uncut roll of cloth, a few of which were then airbrushed to create a trompe l’oeil effect. “The...
