at only 26 years old
is stellar on the Paris Fashion Week (PFW), Haute Couture showcase;
offering her first couture collection in January 2012,
her star continues its rapid ascent.

Her creations have been praised for their delicate, feminine and organic qualities.
There is a dual sentiment expressed in her work: structure and fluidity –
effortless movement unencumbered by form achieved in the
lightness of the clothing.
…
For PFW 2013, Ms. Yin presented a collection, which further
expressed her design vision and also reflected
an ethereal beauty reminiscent of female mythological images
in a Botticelli painting.
La Primavera (Allegory of Spring), painted between 1477 – 1482
by Sandro Botticelli
…
The Three Graces, which are depicted to the left of the painting
are goddesses of such things as beauty, joy, creativity and elegance –
certainly appropriate descriptions for
Ms. Yin’s a/w couture collection.
