The London based luxury brand was launched in 2012. The Chinese-born, London-based designer, has famously mapped out his signature style, finding inspiration and direction through his national identity. “Creating a luxurious brand where Eastern heritage meets Western influencers, his collections create a romantic, sophisticated and ageless philosophy with feminine details, strong lines and directional design,” the band explains on its website.

In 2007, we just called it going out.”
