food as a way back home

this colorful, bold group shoot was a collab shoot for Omsom and DAWANG — which are both impactful, asian, female-founded brands. Omsom is a condiment brand with a mission of reclaiming and celebrating the multitudes in asian american flavors, while DAWANG aims to invite people of all backgrounds to partake in the beauty of modern chinese fashion. 

 

together, the founders created a lunar new year purple apron top, a limited edition top for going out and eating in! the vibe they wanted to depict through this shoot is the fiery, rambunctious energy after a long night out of fun and the excitement that ordering takeout food brings. after all, food is much more than food: it is the most commonly felt love language in asian families; food is our way back home.
