OUR STORY
As a first generation Australian born Chinese, growing up I never really connected with my roots. I focused more on ensuring I was "Australian" enough, making sure I blended in and fitted the stereotypical Australian. As multiculturalism became more widely embrace, I realised how silly that was. I learnt that being Australian was about embracing our blend of cultures, and embracing my own as well.
This led to a journey of delving into my ethnic heritage, as a journey of understanding and loving who I am. In turn, it brought me to embrace both sides. Luxurious brocade fabrics Chinese historical fashion, especially traditionally among royalty. So I wanted to merge that with my love of regencycore and cottagecore, styles celebrated in the West, soothing my obsession of Bridgerton and reading Western fairytales growing up.
These designs pay homage to both of my cultural experiences. My perspective of being both in worlds of East and West, and combining them to express outwardly my lived experience. I hope you connect with these pieces as much as I do. As a way to celebrate East x West, multiculturalism, a love of fairytales and ancient fashion with a modern twist.
