## Who is behind SHUTING QIU?

Now based in Shanghai, she designs womenswear built on contrast: asymmetric silhouettes, silk jacquards, intricate embroidery and clashing prints, with heroines such as Virginia Woolf and Pina Bausch as touchstones. She was an LVMH Prize semi-finalist in 2021. Shanghai Fashion Week’s official pages record her shows at Taiping Lake Park in Xintiandi in March 2023 and, for SS27, on 14 October 2026.
