If you're like me and believe in fairytales then here is a designer that brings these fairytale dreams to life!
Meet LANYU Couture - Lan Yu is from China and 2013 Lan Yu was listed in Forbes China's list of 2014 Forbes China 30 Under 30: Rising Stars Of Entrepreneurism In China.
I recently had the opportunity to go backstage at NYFW and interview their CEO about their latest stunning collection.
Based in Beijing China in 2006, Lan won the award for 'Best Minority Style Evening Wear'. In 2008, Lan Yu Studios was acquired by Chinatex Corporation with Lan remaining as Creative Director while studying in New York. Lan returned to China in 2009 and in September of that year retook control and ownership of Lan Yu Studios.
The same year she was voted as one of 'China's Top 10 Designers' by the China Designers Association as well as the 'Designer with the Highest Media Attention'.
In 2012, Lan was again voted the 'Designer with the Highest Media Attention' and 'Asia's Most Influential Designer (Fashion Category) at the Asian Fashion Awards. In the same year she was also awarded 'The Star's Favourite Designer' by COSMOBride China. In 2013, MSN awarded Lan Yu with 'China's Most Influential Designer'.
