From Xiamen to Shanghai, from London to Paris, the Chinese brands SANKUANZ It grows at an amazing rate in the process of moving from home to international nowShanguan ZheAnd his brand has now become a part of “Chinese design” in the eyes of overseas fashion groups. Unlike the show’s exaggerated view, Shangguan Zhe adheres to a certain sense of minimalism in life. “In trendy words, I am a person who ‘breaks away’ every day.” habit, Shangguan Zhe recalled and said she was the past decade.
In the past decade he has traveled to more than 20 countries, moved nine studios, six times and lived in countless hotels and apartments, each time owning fewer. There aren’t many things that fit in a backpack: computers, portable hard drives, jewelry, and watches. This time, Hypebeast invited SANKUANZ designer Shangguan Zhe to share with you past versions of the five “Dingfans” over the past decade.
MacBook Pro 16-inch (2013/2017/2021)
Shanguan Zhe
Shanguan Zhe:I don’t particularly like “clean” computers, so I put a lot of stickers in them. Like the stickers on the first computer, there are various “SANKUANZ” logos used in different series, in fact the bottom is what I really like. Supreme The Photo Tee stickers are all covered, so this computer is very thick, with three or four layers of stickers.
During the use of the second computer, there were relatively few stickers in life, so many of them were purchased during the trip. The upper left and lower right were purchased in souvenir shops in Texas and the lower left was purchased during a trip to Normandy, France. The torn sticker next to Nirvana is actually Kurt Cobain’s unplugged scene, a very classic photo, both bought at the Seattle Memorial. The other stickers were sent to me when “Dirty Talk” started, when the computer was about “end of life”, so I posted them all.
The last computer was just replaced last year. In addition to some advanced Supreme stickers, it also has the D-BOY from “Space Knight” and the two characters from “Sky War”. These are all my favorites from before the cartoon.
Mobile hard drive: Western Digital (2012) and LaCie (2017/2022)
Shanguan Zhe
Shanguan Zhe:Most of my files are stored on a portable hard drive, so this will definitely be with you. I can’t remember when the hard drive on the far left was purchased, but I clearly remember that it broke in 2012 and the hard drive accidentally dropped, so all electronic files before 2012 are gone. The last hard drive contains only sets of clothing. Because every time a series is made, many files, such as printed models and design drafts, are all in one folder and, when the series is finished, they will be placed on your hard drive.
Cartier Cloche / Cartier ASYMMETRIC TANK 2482 / A. Lange & Söhne 1815 / Patek Philippe Ref. 3424
Shanguan Zhe
Shanguan Zhe:I like watches with unique shapes, which can be related to occupation and are more sensitive to shapes. In fact, there are very few modern cases with such beautiful shapes.These are generally antique watches and there will be more in the 1950s and 1960s. I recently bought this Patek Philippe Ref. 3424. I think its shape is very beautiful and it was deeply influenced by the art movement of the time. The case was designed for Patek Philippe by Gilbert Albert, one of my favorite jewelry designers, and this series also has triangular cases and other odd shapes.
Porter Tanker 3Way Case (2016) / Parda Re-Nylon Case (2022)
Shanguan Zhe
Shanguan Zhe:Bags are especially important to me, because whether it’s a short or long trip, I will only carry a bag, not a suitcase, because I don’t like to check in haha. So, when choosing a bag, I would choose a slightly larger size, but it can’t be as big as a travel bag, so Porter’s Tanker Bag is perfect. It has a particularly high capacity and is very rich in storage space, can be used to place computers and hard drives, can be used for business trips, and can even be carried on the back for commuting. However I can’t remember which bag I used before, the first memory is this.
But this bag has been used for a long time and it is relatively old.Sure, I want to buy another one of the same style, but it seems this bag is not easy to buy now, and this Prada bag is the only one looks very similar to Porter . Distribution is also very close, so I bought this bag.
SANKUANZ Grillz & Cross (2016/2017/2018/2019/2020)
Shanguan Zhe
Shanguan Zhe:Whenever I take advantage of the development of the jewelry series, I make one for myself. Usually, I choose the “SANKUANZ Cross” symbol that SANKUANZ used and it will evolve into a different style each season. I myself prefer the exaggerated, diamond-encrusted jewelry of hip-hop. But in fact, I don’t usually wear a lot of jewelry that I make, because there is no occasion to wear this exaggerated jewelry. Grillz appliances are too easy to detach: if you speak faster, you will be in a “teeth hunting” state in the dark club.
