Founded in 2021 by Parsons graduate Shawna Wu, this New York–based label operates at the intersection of textile art and subversive fashion. Born in Taiwan and raised in Singapore, Wu draws deeply on her background to reinterpret traditional craftsmanship for a modern, provocative context. The brand is best known for its intricate, hand-knotted garments that blend the delicate structure of lingerie with the weight of heritage; signature pieces often feature Chinese knotting techniques, jade beading, and recycled sari silks, creating a "future-ancient" aesthetic that feels both protective and exposing.
