Celebrating Inspiring Women
The Mei Dress was inspired by Mei Danran — a remarkable woman from 16th-century China who defied convention through intellect, courage, and quiet independence. At a time when women’s voices were rarely heard, she stood out as a thinker and a student of radical philosopher Li Zhi, embodying the belief that feminine strength could exist through knowledge and grace.
Her legacy speaks to subtle rebellion. We saw that same energy reflected in the women who wear our designs: strong yet thoughtful, bold yet understated. The Mei Dress captures that spirit through its fluid lines, delicate frill sleeves, and a silhouette that feels both modern and timeless.
This piece is an ode to quiet confidence — to the power of women who lead with thoughtfulness and beauty intertwined. Like Mei herself, the dress reminds us that elegance can be an act of strength, and that true empowerment often begins with self-belief.
