Regina Branca

Regina Branca

Italian Designer

Regina Branca was born in Florence but grew up surrounded by the vibrant traditions and cultural heritage of Sicily, which deeply shaped her identity and creative vision. After completing high school, she returned to Florence to pursue a degree in Fashion Design, driven by a desire to merge her passion for craftsmanship with contemporary design.

For Regina, fashion is not only about aesthetics but also about creating meaningful experiences and fostering connections between individuals and their cultural origins. Her vision combines sensitivity, craftsmanship, and sustainability to shape a personal and contemporary narrative.

Liwen Liang

Liwen Liang

Chinese Mainland Designer

Liwen Liang is a ceramic worker and fashion designer. Liwen was born in a small city called Jingdezhen, but it’s the world-famous porcelain capital with a ceramic history of thousands of years. His family and friends are all ceramic workers. Liwen’s grandfather was a ceramic kiln worker at the National Porcelain Factory in the 1950s, and his descendants are also engaged in the ceramic business. Liwen finished master of womenswear design from the London College of Fashion in 2023. He has been thinking about how to express his understanding of the culture of my hometown from an international perspective.

Liwen grew up in his family ceramic workshop, and his creative style comes from the environment in which he grew up. The muddy working environment, the smell of the mud, the broken ceramic fragments, and the way the ceramic workers dress are all the sources of his inspiration. Liwen realized there is no aesthetic in fashion that presents our ceramic craftsman. He wants to bring the aesthetics of our community into fashion.

Liwen Liang

Chinese Mainland Designer

Liwen Liang is a ceramic worker and fashion designer. Liwen was born in a small city called Jingdezhen, but it’s the world-famous porcelain capital with a ceramic history of thousands of years. His family and friends are all ceramic workers. Liwen’s grandfather was a ceramic kiln worker at the National Porcelain Factory in the 1950s, and his descendants are also engaged in the ceramic business. Liwen finished master of womenswear design from the London College of Fashion in 2023. He has been thinking about how to express his understanding of the culture of my hometown from an international perspective.

Liwen grew up in his family ceramic workshop, and his creative style comes from the environment in which he grew up. The muddy working environment, the smell of the mud, the broken ceramic fragments, and the way the ceramic workers dress are all the sources of his inspiration. Liwen realized there is no aesthetic in fashion that presents our ceramic craftsman. He wants to bring the aesthetics of our community into fashion.

Regina Branca

Italian Designer

Regina Branca was born in Florence but grew up surrounded by the vibrant traditions and cultural heritage of Sicily, which deeply shaped her identity and creative vision. After completing high school, she returned to Florence to pursue a degree in Fashion Design, driven by a desire to merge her passion for craftsmanship with contemporary design.

Her work reflects a constant dialogue between past and present, where Sicilian traditions, artisanal techniques, and collective memories are reinterpreted in a modern, sustainable way. Inspired by her roots, Regina explores the intersection of culture, nature, and identity, using fashion as a medium to tell stories and evoke emotions.

Sustainability lies at the core of her approach: she values slow processes, local materials, and innovative techniques that respect both people and the environment. Through research and experimentation, she seeks to create garments and textile manipulations that celebrate the richness of heritage while opening paths toward new, conscious ways of making.

For Regina, fashion is not only about aesthetics but also about creating meaningful experiences and fostering connections between individuals and their cultural origins. Her vision combines sensitivity, craftsmanship, and sustainability to shape a personal and contemporary narrative.
