“I'm intrigued by the way fabric can make people feel, and the way women choose what they WEAR. I believe that fashion is more than just clothing; it is a means of self-expression and an art form in its own right.

VISION & PHILOSOPHY

Coming from an artistic family, Stephanie Zhang seamlessly merges fine art with fashion design while ensuring each piece maintains both wearability and functionality. Her signature aesthetic—understated elegance with a modern twist—celebrates the female form through designs inspired by nature and fine art. All material used are natural fabrics such as various fine silks.

Taking inspiration from nature, Stephanie designs clothes that give the wearer a feeling of being wrapped in tranquility and luxury.
