Lin Nengping: The Chinese Pride Of The American Fashion Industry

Lin Nengping is a Chinese American designer who has been popular in the West in recent years. His fashion brand, Phillip 3.1, has achieved two success in fashion and business.

In his design, whether it is a black and white dress with coral ornaments, a pink dress with a wave zipper as its theme, or a simple white shirt with no design details, a casual suit or a cashmere sweater, is the choice for a female star to go out, and also a hot selling product for many high-end stores.

Lin Nengping was born in a traditional Chinese family and immigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of one.

Perhaps because his mother worked as a sewing worker in a factory, he grew up in California. He seems to be very sensitive to clothes.

"I probably asked my mother to buy clothes for me when I was six or seven years old, or to help me change my clothes according to my request.

I also like to go to the handmade clothing store or the antique clothing market Taobao. "

When he was in college, Lin chose his business school according to his parents' wishes, but this did not seem to affect his interest in fashion.

Before graduating from college, Lin Nen Ping served as assistant to a famous designer office in the United States, and later co founded Development clothing brand with his friends.

In the fall of 2005, Lin Nengping, 31, co founded the Phillip 3.1 brand with the 31 year old Chinese Zhou Xuanwen. 3.1 of the brand names were to commemorate the same age they were 31 years old, and Lin Nengping was responsible for creative design.

In the 5 years after that, Lin Nengping, a professional designer, took his own brand, Phillip, and won the CFDA Foundation Award, known as "fashion Oscar," and was the editor in chief of the fashion Bible vogue.

As the founder of the independent brand, Lin Nengping, a business major, has been successfully published in Fortune magazine's list of young talents under 40 years old, making him one of the 3 Chinese in the list.

Half a month ago, Lin Nengping held a unique show on the ancient city wall of Beijing to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the brand.

This is the first time that a new generation of Chinese American designers has come back to China to make a show.

"I like Beijing. This city is very natural.

Maybe it's a cultural accumulation. It makes you feel like a Chinese. "

Lin Nengping said, "I have a dragon on my back. I can hardly say that I am more Chinese."

In clothing design, Lin can not forget to inject Chinese elements.

However, unlike many overseas Chinese designers who advocate traditional Chinese clothing, the new designer emphasizes more modern China in his design.

Lin Nengping said, "I think the Chinese style we interpret is the Chinese style of globalization. It belongs to modern China. What I want to express is not what the eyes can see, but what can be felt. This is China's culture and the world's China."
