Raised in Lausanne, Switzerland, and now working out of Japan, William Oweson launched his own brand, William Oweson F\u00f6rlag, in 2023. He oversees everything from pattern-making to sewing the samples. His concept revolves around offering a sense of unrestricted comfort. Disliking the seasonal changes often seen in fashion, Oweson\u2019s collection designs remain largely consistent. He emphasizes crafting comfortable clothing that aligns with the body\u2019s posture and movements. The 2024 AW collection continues to explore movement, shape, and sensory comfort, building on the previous season.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"flexible_images","images_list":[{"acf_fc_layout":"two_column","one":{"first_image":{"ID":32010,"id":32010,"title":"1784_web_wo24aw_3","filename":"1784_web_wo24aw_3.jpg","filesize":164249,"url":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/1784_web_wo24aw_3.jpg","link":"https:\/\/arts-science.com\/en\/events\/williamoweson24aw\/1784_web_wo24aw_3\/","alt":"","author":"5","description":"","caption":"","name":"1784_web_wo24aw_3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":32007,"date":"2024-09-09

\u201cAt &SHOP Kyoto, the installation showcases the overarching aesthetic concepts of my work through various mediums including paintings, clothing, books, and accessories. The display at CORNER emphasizes watercolor paintings, which sparked my initial interest in drawing and remain central to my artistic process.
