When calligraphy meets cowboy Tang suit: Winfred Hung, a master of calligraphy.
Have you ever thought that calligraphy can be more than just black and white ink on paper, but a flowing fashion and an attitude towards life?
Winfred Hung, a Hong Kong calligraphy designer (founder of "Draword"), shows us with his creativity that calligraphy can be played with in this way!

Winfred Hung, founder of "Draword | Calligraphy," is a local calligraphy designer. He majored in humanities in high school, studied business in university, and ultimately pursued a career in the arts. He shares his creations online and teaches calligraphy in the real world. His macro goal is to integrate traditional calligraphy into modern life, while his micro goal is to connect people through words.
Winfred's denim Tang suit jacket is part of the exhibition "Draword | Painting Characters" and "New Clothes as Before," a work created through their shared passion for calligraphy—the "Heartfelt Painting Characters Calligraphy Design Exhibition." The exhibition deconstructs the strokes of calligraphy, such as "dots," "left-falling strokes," and "right-falling strokes," then personally writes them onto fabric with a brush, bringing traditional Chinese characters to life on the garment and creating a unique "character shirt" belonging to "Painting Characters" and "New Clothes as Before."
This "calligraphy shirt" is not only an artwork, but also a wearable fashion item that perfectly blends the Zen of Eastern calligraphy with the casualness of street style, allowing calligraphy to step out of the exhibition hall and into everyday wear.
