Our mission is to convey the diverse attributes of femininity through the medium of fashion to our audience.

Integrating modern technology, such as 3D printing and Clo3D, we craft garments that meld sculptural aesthetics with contemporary sensibility. At the heart of our philosophy is the desire to showcase the multifaceted roles of contemporary women through our designs. Amidst the hustle and turbulence of life, our clothing aims to reveal the inner strength and love that resides within.
Haoran Chen, a New York and Shanghai-based fashion designer currently pursuing academic studies at Parsons School of Design, utilizes fashion as a medium to express nuanced insights into interpersonal relationships. Focused on gender dynamics and the interaction of human bodies with the natural environment, he skillfully merges traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.
Chen employs diverse materials, including leather and delicate fabrics, utilizing handmade techniques such as beading and embroidery. Geometric lines, natural elements, and an emphasis on the female body's curves showcase his exploration of clothing's ability to reshape body structures. Integrating 3D printing and Clo3D, he achieves a fusion of traditional and modern techniques.
Influenced by his mother's refined wardrobe, Chen uses clothing to narrate intimate stories about gender perceptions, everyday nuances, and love. Transforming clothing into a cinematic experience, he immerses the audience in emotions and narratives. Drawing inspiration from both China and New York City, he blends avant-garde urban styles with classic silhouettes. Chen's primary design goal is to evoke emotions and strength in wearers, transcending gender, social identity, and age constraints. His ongoing commitment involves utilizing fashion to explore avant-garde urban styles and engage in a delicate dialogue between tradition and the future.
