About
AO YES, co-founded by creative director Austin Wang and Yansong Liu, both graduates of Bunka Fashion College, is a fashion brand rooted in the concept of modern Oriental culture. It seeks to craft an image of Oriental intellectuals with a forward-looking, avant-garde sensibility.
The brand merges Chinese cultural elements with contemporary fashion, employing design details and fabric choices that blur the lines between traditional high-end fashion and Oriental aesthetics. By juxtaposing the old with the new, challenging conventions, and embracing gender fluidity, AO YES interprets the Eastern world’s past and present to create an expression of Oriental fashion characterized by freedom and boldness.
In 2023, AO YES was recognized as one of the "10 Asian Designers to Watch" by Fashion Asia and received the "Business Performance" brand accolade from the organizing committee of Shanghai Fashion Week.
