Kim Shui whose collection premiered on the Vfiles runway last fall, artfully displays feminine duality with the softness of fur and feathers contrasted with the edge of piercing hardware, latex and denim.
A Central Saint Martins fashion design graduate with a double major from Duke in Economics and French, Shui has a clear point of view of womenswear illustrated by the cool way she mixes silhouettes textures and fabrics. For instance, latex pants paired with a leopard print blouse could sound daunting, but Shui makes it work with sharp tailoring and a keen sense of proportion.
