- Snow Xue Gao: Founder
New York-based women’s ready to wear designer, Snow Xue Gao, founded her eponymous brand in 2016 immediately following her debut spring/summer 2017 show at Parsons New School of Art and Design where she received a Masters of Fashion. Following the company’s inception, Snow’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection was chosen to be one of three
emerging designers featured at the V-Files fashion show during New York Fashion Week in February 2017. Having received critical acclaim from Vogue, I-D, and WWD, the collection was immediately picked up by specialty boutiques worldwide. Snow’s intricately draped and tailored line breaks away from conventional definitions of masculine and feminine through an exploration of exaggerated proportions, asymmetrical finishes, and contrasting textures. Fine Italian wool plaids and jacquards are tucked and twisted with floral silk prints to create a trompe l’oeil illusion — a blazer transforms into a skirt; wool suiting is inlayed with traditional Chinese dress — conceptually merging her Asian heritage and Western culture.
