The theme of my collection is edgy with pacticality, something that you can wear to a chic night out, as well as a professional environment. The collection is base on black and earth tones, leather, wool and silk. It’s a little rock roll and a bit of British elegance.
Candice Wu was born in Hong Kong and discovered her love for fashion as a child. With encouragement from her family, she moved to the United States at 17 to pursue her dream. After receiving her business degree, Candice recently graduated from the Boston School of Fashion Design. Her designs are greatly inspired by a mixture of cultural influences, especially her traditional Chinese parents and her British educated grandparents. She loves to blend traditional elements with modern ideas when creating her functional and artistic pieces.
When it comes to fashion design, Candice does it all. She sketches, creates patterns, sews, drapes, beads and fabricates all of her one-of-a-kind pieces. Several fashion events have featured Candice’s work including The TENT Boston Fashion Week, StyleWeek Northeast, Rhode Island, Project Ethos Hollywood CA, Miss Mongolia USA in Chicago IL, Project Beethoven at the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Ovations for the Cure fashion charity event, and the Catwalk for a Cure charity event benifiting Susan G. Komen. In addition, her work has graced the pages of Upscale Living magazine, Boston Magazine, Boston Globe, as well as being feature on Fox25. She has received the Certificate of Recognition from Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. She is also the latest winner of the Boston Fashion Award 2012.
Her recent Esoteric collection, Candice created functional and convertible designs, that are office-appropriate and chic enough for a night out. She mixed hard and soft materials to create uniform designs that are a little bit “rock and roll.”
