About

Hi, I’m Cristina YiQian Qiu, the soul and designer behind this namesake brand.
Since I was a child, all I could dream about was to become someday a fashion designer.
This dream became reality in July 2023, when I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion, Jewellery and Accessory Design from Politecnico of Milano.

My biggest inspiration is my childhood: fragments of memories and emotions that have shaped me in the person that I am today. Through my work, I want to share my inner universe: playful, melanchonic, kaleidoscopic and somehow also very rebellious.
I've always lived mostly in my head, a world where my creativity can flourish and explore the impossible.

Sustainability is at the heart of what I do. I believe that every brand has to take responsibility to respect and protect our beautiful planet. That’s why I choose to work, primarily and whenever it is possible, with natural fabrics like cotton, silk and linen, as well as deadstock materials and leather, giving new life to what already exists.

For now, the majority of my products are handmade to order from my tiny studio in Milan. 
I offer both made to order designs and one of a kind creations, the last ones are unique treasures that will belong to and only you.

I hope you will enjoy this journey with me and become part of my project. Thank you so much for taking time to read this, I truly appreciate it <3.

With love,
Xoxo Cristina
