SHUMINGYU is a designer womenswear brand rooted in the poetic essence of Chinese art.
From the free-spirited brushwork of ink paintings, the rhythmic flow of poetry, and the delicate luster of ceramics, we strive to interpret and respect the artistic lineages that have come before us and on whose shoulders we now stand.
“I was formally introduced to the canon of Chinese artistic lineages as a Chinese art history student in college. I thought it was odd that despite the breadth and nuances of Chinese aesthetics that were crystalized over thousands of years, it was rarely reflected in a modern fashion product. To me, culture should not be relegated to a museum. It has meaning only when it is a part of one’s daily life.”
