Yang Li
Yang Li is a Chinese-born, London-based fashion designer known for blending minimalist tailoring with rebellious subcultural energy. Born in Beijing in 1987 and raised in Perth, Australia, he studied at Central Saint Martins before interning under Raf Simons — an experience that deeply shaped his modernist, emotionally raw approach. Launching his eponymous label in 2010, Yang Li quickly gained acclaim for his stark, architectural silhouettes, use of black and neutral tones, and integration of skate and punk influences into refined luxury. His collections often explore themes of tension, individuality, and imperfection, favoring authenticity over polish. In 2021, he became Creative Director at Shang Xia, bringing his avant-garde sensibility to a Chinese heritage luxury brand.
