For Spring / Summer 2027, AVVENN explored the art of essence through energy and the belief that it begins with self-acceptance. This belief forms the foundation of Sanctuary, AVVENN's latest offering. The collection draws inspiration from the design team's exploration of the ancient murals of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang and the longstanding tradition of devotional offerings. Behind these murals, which have endured for over a thousand years, lies a history of donors dedicating their material resources, time and devotion to spiritual beliefs, finding in the act of giving a place for their own hopes and aspirations.

For the design team, this tradition also speaks to a more personal practice: one of listening inward and reconnecting with the self. Bringing this spirit into a contemporary context, AVVENN uses fashion as a medium to offer a gentle, effortless reminder: energy can be found within, and each of us can cultivate a sanctuary of our own.
