Chao Wu

Men's fashion designer based in Paris, I have been working for 7 years in ready-to-wear and luxury.

My career began in 2013 as a men's stylist at Uniqlo.

I continued my studies in styling and pattern making for men in Paris in 2015. Studies during which I worked for Rick Owens for 4 seasons.

Subsequently, I worked with Cédric Charlier for his men's&women's collections, in charge of creative research, iconography, design, technical drawings and the preparation of collection presentations.

From September 2017 until recently, I worked as a freelancer for several brands in Paris as well as in Asia and I launched my own men's brand in Paris, which allowed me to acquire the necessary knowledge and to work with the teams in each field for each stage of the collection development process.

My areas of expertise are:

Fashion Styling, Men's & Women's RTW

Artistic direction

Collection plan and collection follow-up management

Mood board / collection themes

Sourcing (workshops & suppliers)

Drawing / sketches and technical files

Pattern making & Grading in paper / digital

Product development and production in Paris in small quantities in my workshop

Organization / Direction of shooting

In parallel, I support international designer brands to penetrate the Chinese market through multiple support such as brand recognition by the local press (Bazaar, Grazia, GQ, .), influencers and social media.

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your project.

Thank you,

Chao
