RENEE GAO

Taking the inspirations from her childhood, Renee translates her favourite fairytales and the city's mood into her pieces for New York Fashion Week. She highlights one of her dresses, which has an umbrella-like silhouette to represent her hometown. She believes that fashion design has evolved into a more symbolic and representative field in 2019, and she wants her creation to be an expression of her identity. Inspired by the designer Coco Chanel, she aspires to have her fashion business and brand in the future.
