Initially, JULIAN LOUIE wanted to be an architect. Then he came to New York and his passion for fashion supplanted his architecture study. After an internship at Calvin Klein, he was handpicked by FRANCISCO COSTA to participate in Italian Vogue and Australian Wool Innovation’s Protégé Project. And although he had no practical fashion experience other than internships at Imitation of Christ and Calvin Klein, he created his first collection in 2008: a set of fifteen colourful and very feminine mini dresses.

Thanks to his architectural background, he has a different approach to fashion which is very much about line, proportion, silhouette and texture: a difference that gives him an advantage.

His Spring collection 2010 is a series of dress in a tight gradiation of colour from peachy coral to nude to taupe to pink to white. From this idea, he explored different textures and experiments with different fabrics like ultrasuede. View all the collection at http://julianlouie.com/

JULIAN LOUIE is definitely a talent to watch.
