For its collaboration with MINI, Kinyan Lam sought to capture the spirit of “Possibility,” “Adventurous,” and “Fashion” embodied by MINI drivers. These are the people who drive their Mini anywhere and are keen to explore the unknown. To express their unique personalities, they want to customise their cars with different patterns.
Kinyan Lam took inspiration from a vintage MINI campaign featuring Mary Quant’s striped seat upholstery design, applying the iconic pattern, the classic stripe, as the central design motif for the collection. To achieve this design element, Lam incorporated his signature natural dyes with plants from India and indigo from Guizhou and employed the tie-dye technique to create the stripe patterns.
