WONGSO is a queer menswear label built on a simple idea: lace, mesh and sheer fabric belong on men. Not as costume, and not once a year at Pride, but as clothes you actually wear to a festival, a beach club, or a rooftop at 2am.
Founded in 2023, the label works in small batches rather than seasons. Its references come from founder Stefanus Wongso’s own path. He is Chinese Indonesian by heritage and has lived across Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, and the clothes borrow freely from all of it: batik, lacework, the cut of a kimono. Each capsule is built as a system of pieces designed to layer together, so a single kimono works over a co-ord by night and over swim shorts by day.
Pieces are priced to be worn hard rather than shelved, and ship worldwide. Sizes run S to L, cut for a menswear fit rather than adapted from a unisex block.
COVEN launches 1 September 2026. It is a black and leopard capsule built around a found family rather than a trend, and it lands three weeks before the new season of American Horror Story: Coven premieres on 24 September. WONGSO is not affiliated with or licensed by that show.
Black for the one who never wavered. Leopard for the ones who refuse to hide.
