YUHAN AO

 

YUHAN AO is a London-based fashion brand rooted in emotional memory, structural clarity, and the understated power of handcraft.

Founded by designer Yuhan Ao, the brand draws from his upbringing in a linen textile factory in China, where his earliest encounters with clothing were shaped not by trends, but by labor. His grandmother would spin linen by hand—pulling and twisting raw fibers with meditative precision. This quiet, repetitive work instilled a fundamental respect for time, patience, and the invisible processes behind every garment.

Before fashion came into view, yuhan understood craftsmanship, slowness, and the value of things made by hand. These remain the cornerstones of the brand.

YUHAN AO exists to give shape to the unseen, to honor the labor, the memory, and the emotional residue embedded within structure.
