![]() ![]() About Bonan Li : Bonan Li is an independent fashion designer recognized for exploring identity, culture, and sustainability within the fashion world. With over a decade of experience in high-end and contemporary fashion, she has collaborated with prestigious brands and showcased her work at renowned events such as New York Fashion Week and China Fashion Week. Bonan’s accolades include the Top Ten Fashion Designers Award in China, and her work has been featured in esteemed exhibitions like The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Through her designs, she challenges traditional boundaries, crafting wearable art that encourages thoughtful connection and promotes inclusivity within the fashion industry. For me, design and art are profound expressions of identity and culture, each piece a narrative that transcends language. I see fashion not merely as clothing but as a medium to explore the human condition, blurring the boundaries between body, identity, and the energy of nature. Each creation is a contemplative space that challenges conventional perceptions—of gender, power, and aesthetics—encouraging a redefinition of how we see and feel in our environment. In my work, I aim to foster connection, crafting designs that resonate with emotions and provoke thought. I am drawn to the delicate balance between innovation and sustainability, seeking to create with intention and purpose. To me, a successful design holds a transformative power; it invites people to engage, question, and connect with themselves and the world around them.
