In June, Wang unveiled TEAM JOOPITER, a limited-edition design collaboration between TEAM WANG design and Pharrell Williams’ auction house, JOOPITER. This followed the “Jackson Wang Metamorphosis: Athlete – Musician – Designer” auction, featuring memorabilia chronicling his evolution over 30 years. July saw Wang curate a special performance in Shanghai for Cartier’s milestone, blending theatre, dance, and fashion, with custom costumes by TEAM WANG design.
Turning 30 this year has inspired Wang with a fresh outlook on life, which is reflected in his approach to the Harper’s BAZAAR shoot. He describes the process as experimental and collaborative, emphasizing the unique blend of inputs from the photographer, magazine, and himself. “Every time I do a magazine shoot, I enjoy it the most,” Wang shares. “It’s a creation process. We know the direction but not the outcome, and that’s the excitement.”
The editorial team included Creative Director Abdul Aziz Draim, Concept by Chuan Looi, Art Direction by Khairani Ramli, and Videography by Jackie Mah and Simon Tan, among others. The issue offers an intimate look at Wang’s evolving creative journey.
