Mark Tan was twelve when he started making clothes for Danish royalty—an unusual beginning that set the tone for an unconventional career. After cutting his teeth at fashion's heavyweight houses Dior, Balenciaga, and McQueen, he founded Mark Kenly Domino Tan in 2014, setting up his atelier in Copenhagen with a clear mission: elegant, sharp cuts using premium fabrics that merge modern aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship. "I entered fashion driven by curiosity about clothing structure and form," he explains. "Through systematic learning, this passion deepened and reshaped my understanding of cutting and proportions. Each practice teaches me about clothing's narrative power and the impact that meticulous details can create."

What makes Mark's approach distinct is his fascination with menswear principles—the fabrics, cuts, and colors he finds more durable and practical than typical women's design techniques. This obsession gives his women's collections their gender-neutral edge right from the start. "I use structure and simplicity as foundations, adding depth through emotion and craftsmanship," he says. "Nordic design brings clean lines to my work, while French haute couture cutting adds poetic romance. This is essentially balancing rational with emotional, restraint with freedom." His designs work as both cultural reflections and responses to current environments—a philosophy that caught serious attention when ELLE awarded him Designer of the Year in 2020. Fashion heavyweights WWD, Vogue, and Tatler regularly spotlight his work, while his tailored coats and sleeveless turtlenecks have become go-to pieces for fashion bloggers. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark frequently chooses his designs for her private wardrobe, cementing his status in Nordic fashion circles.

His recent Fabrique collaboration zeroes in on architectural silhouettes, soft layering, and organic textures, drawing inspiration from both Scandinavian minimalism's rich textures and traditional Chinese art. "I try to convey strength through structure while celebrating clothing's fluidity and femininity," Mark explains. "These pieces combine functionality, emotional tension, and resonance, designed to become extensions of the wearer's inner expression." The collection creates conversation between Nordic restraint and Chinese poetic tradition—terracotta warmth meeting ink-deep tones, crisp ivory fabrics against soft charcoal. Each fabric choice and fold tells stories of balance, refining and reinterpreting tradition through natural linen's honesty and structured silhouettes that speak volumes in their clarity.
