Deriving from Hong Kong and now Dubai based, Designer ‘Kay Li’ uses a distinct style to create future-oriented new couture womenswear. She draws inspiration from humanity to architecture, environmental issues to current affairs, translating her philosophical beliefs into urban, contemporary and edgy aesthetics.
The essence of her eponymous label, “Kay Li”, is to produce innovative pieces that express and accentuate individuality. Traditional patterns are distorted and reconstructed to create new form that transform the natural silhouette of a body. With her flair in textile design, she creates original fabrics that are a perfect complement to her origami-inspired designs. Mixing form, fabrics, and designs in a new manner, “Kay Li” aims to capture the character and emotions of a distinctive woman.
