About

Aurora Chen graduated from Parsons School of Design in 2020 and launched her eponymous label the following year. Her work explores the tension between rigid architectural form and fluid drape, drawing on her dual cultural heritage to create garments that feel simultaneously ancient and futuristic. She was selected for the IFW Emerging Voices program in 2024.
