The founder, Qingwen (Claire) Huang graduated from Central Saint Martins with a bachelor degree in fashion design with knitwear.
She has experience of working in many luxury goods and designer brands, such as Cartier, Thom Browne and Simone Rocha. Her designs have also been published in Vogue Italia, V MAGAZINE and many other international magazines. Her brand also opened a pop-up shop in Covent Garden London, and now keeps in close contact with various artists and celebrities.
KINGWEN originated from an alternative interpretation and exploration of romanticism and classical Western art from an oriental perspective. The design of the brand is inspired by myths and cultural relics, and it is endowed with vitality through gradient fabrics and three-dimensional cutting. Each of the brand's creations incorporates the sense of freehand like the flowers and birds in Chinese ink painting.
