Xiamen-based designer Min Liu has come a long way. She started her fashion journey in 2010, by creating her first Ms Min collection out of a small sewing machine in her hometown. Then, rather than opting for the big lights of first-tier cities, she launched her Taobao store, which proved an immediate hit among fashion buffs across the country. Shortly after, she was chosen as one of the first three Chinese designers to be stocked at Lane Crawford, and was picked up internationally by Opening Ceremony.
Now, she’s opened her first brick-and-mortar boutique in China – in Shanghai, unsurprisingly, in the exceptionally prime location of the Shanghai Centre, next to Christian Louboutin.
The shop, a small but tasteful affair of dim lights and touches of gold on the walls, offers an intimate retail experience to Ms Min’s refined shoppers, and carries the latest spring/summer collection from the brand.
Pieces span embroidered palazzo pants, oversized kimonos and boxy, structural tops in gold or white, alongside pretty tea dresses and rose-patterned blouses.
A perfectly quaint shopping experience from one of China’s brightest design talents.
