Originally from China, fashion designer Caroline Hu graduated from Central Saint Martins in London, majoring in womenswear design, and furthered her training with a master’s degree in fashion design at Parsons School of Design in New York. She is best known for transmitting moving and profound life experiences to the audiences through her haute couture design and craftsmanship. She injects her understanding of beauty and pursuit of romance into the realm of visual and imagination, while unapologetically advocating for women’s independence, awareness, and freedom.
Hu has earned broad recognition for her talent throughout her career. In 2018, she was a finalist in the ITS Contest in Italy. In 2019, she established her eponymous high-end ready-to-wear brand, which was subsequently shortlisted for the LVMH Young Designer Awards and BOF China Prize, before becoming the first-ever winner of the BOF China Prize. Her theatrical designed long gown was inducted into the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2023, the brand was officially renamed Reverie by Caroline Hú and featured on the official Paris Fashion Week calendar, and is now available in over 10 selected retail outlets worldwide.
