Kim Shui’s New York-based brand, founded in 2016, is a vibrant celebration of multicultural identity and unapologetic femininity. The American-born, Italian-raised designer of Chinese descent channels her background into creating clothing that fuses Eastern and Western influences. The label is recognized for its daring reinterpretations of traditional Chinese elements, such as intricate brocades, mandarin collars, and dragon motifs, which are applied to modern, body-conscious silhouettes like sheer dresses, lace-up corsets, and pieces with dramatic cut-outs. By transforming cultural symbols into sources of joy and empowerment, the brand champions a more expansive view of American fashion.
