The person and the label
Who is behind HUISHAN ZHANG?
Huishan Zhang was born in Qingdao and left home at 17, spending time in New Zealand and Paris before studying at Central Saint Martins in London. As a student he was picked for a placement at Dior in Paris, working in leather goods and the haute couture atelier, and he graduated in 2010. He launched his womenswear house in London in 2012; M+ notes that its atelier is in Qingdao, and its flagship is on Mount Street in Mayfair. The house pairs Chinese references with European eveningwear, tailoring and embellishment. He was an LVMH Prize semi-finalist in 2015 and received the BFC Fashion Trust in 2016, and his work is in the V&A’s collection. His Spring/Summer 2025 collection, shown during London Fashion Week in September 2024, took its cue from Wong Kar-wai’s short film The Hand; his site now lists Resort 2027 and Spring/Summer 2027.
