Chinese Couturier Grace Chen Debuts Inaugural Ready-to-Wear Collection at New York Fashion Week SS25

Founder and designer Grace Chen, a FIT alum and luminary in Chinese couture, debuted her first SS25 Ready-to-Wear collection, titled “Mothers & Daughters” during NYFW – a significant milestone for the label. With her new RTW line, Chen doesn’t dilute her vision; she distills it. The pieces remain meticulously crafted, versatile, and designed for the modern woman who carries herself with authority. It’s a luxury with practicality that reflects how women live today.

Chen’s first RTW collection is a study in “controlled elegance” – an effortless, comfortable movement from day to evening wear. It speaks of quiet authority with a disciplined palette of ivory, blush, and champagne dominating the collection, punctuated by rich jewel tones like regal purple and timeless graphic monochrome. Fabrics are often stretchable, soft, and comfortable. Silhouettes are both structured and fluid, capturing the paradox of strength and femininity that defines her work. The collection is an ode to the diversity of modern womanhood across cultures – a reflection of multiple feminine facets.
