Renli Su

A fascination with art and history lead Fujian-born designer Renli Su to study Fashion Design and Technology at London College of Fashion and subsequently launch her eponymous womenswear label in 2013. Inspired by the past and laced with nostalgia, Su’s conceptual designs weave myriad historical and personal references, including Victorian-era dress, 19th century Chinese workwear, ancient pattern-cutting techniques, and recollections of Su’s own upbringing in coastal China, into narratives charting the intersections between time and memory, identity and culture, and East and West. Quietly elegant blouses, skirts, dresses, and trousers are crafted from exceptional Chinese silks, handwoven ramies, and traditional linens with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship.
