RUI
Winner of the 2021 LVMH Special Prize
Rui Zhou was born in a small city in the middle of China, surrounded by mountains and trees. This environment influenced her interest in Zen Buddhism and the Wabi-Sabi Japanese aesthetic. Rui appreciates asymmetry, irregularity, and imperfection. She sees a garment as a second layer of skin, and the space between skin and fabric, body and garment, showcases "the power of fragility." Rui studied for her BA at Tsinghua University in Beijing and graduated from the Parsons MFA Fashion Design and Society Program in 2018. She was selected as a semi-finalist for the H&M competition in 2017, and won the "CFDA+2018 Design Graduate" and "Elaine Gold Launch Pad 3.0" awards. Her main studio is based in Shanghai.
