Riven Liu

About

Liu was born in China, she was studying apparel design and merchandising management in Oregon State University in the U.S. The study experience makes her want to learn more about fashion.

Uncertainty from the outside world always stimulates her curiosity, pushing her to fuse those contradictions together. Liu thinks fusion itself is a kind of innovation. Surprising effects can be achieved by fusing different elements, which will provide her with various possibilities of design. She also thinks that design cannot be separated from her personal background and surrounding environment and culture. Therefore, when designing, she tends to integrate contemporary elements carefully selected with a cohort of research, finally expressed through fashion.

Statement

While trying to create my own fusion system of merging conflicting elements, I’m also trying to find my vibe, and who I really am.

There are unknow fields inside of me.

I’m on my way to light them up.
