“I didn’t want to overpower her with details, because ultimately she’s very kind of punk and very down-to-earth,” Turzanska says. “But from that very, very first bodice—which is bark cloth, the fiber underneath the tree—there was a bit of uneven, organic embroidery through her garments, especially through her bodices. There’s always something...

As perhaps the most visible member of the royal household, Kate Middleton—Catherine, Princess of Wales—is expected to dress with a modest, formal, and respectful sensibility that sits just outside contemporary dress. Never fully “in” fashion, and therefore, never “out” of it, hers is a wardrobe built to last, both in style and...

The unpredictability of wholesale is another ongoing challenge. “We wrote an order from one customer for £80,000, which is great. Ten of those and suddenly you have a very nice business. But that £80,000 order could disappear, or turn into £200,000. So it’s hard to strategize.” Direct-to-consumer (DTC) offers more certainty. Over...

Xu is emblematic of a fast-expanding cohort of ultra-high-net-worth East Asian consumers deeply fluent in both art and luxury fashion.
