After completing her studies,

Ms. Li honed her skills at various fashion houses

including work with British designer, J. W. Andersen.

 

She’s now launched her eponymous label

and will show for the second time

at New York Fashion Week, (February, 2016).

 

…

Her design aesthetic pulls inspiration from her cultural origins and travels;

the silhouette of her clothing:  loose, easy, unencumbered

a gentle fit / a gentle palette.

The 1960s was a dynamic decade:

political challenges and change

military intervention and failure

space exploration and success

new ideas and inventions

social unrest and strife

…

Elements of the decade’s enduring influences

remain far from exhaustive.

…

In every aspect the ’60s vibe continues to resonant;

none more instantly apparent than in fashion:

graphic patterns

bold colour combos

shifts

sweater dresses

mini-lengths

knee high boots

skirt suits

swing coats

roll neck jumpers

fun fur
