YIWEN STUDIO

Yiwen Studio was founded in Beijing in 2009, with its in-house brand Yiwen Cao.

曹议文 (Yiwen Cao), the designer and founder, started participating in garment design and sales at her mother’s qipao boutique during high school. This early experience cultivated her unique insight and understanding of female silhouettes, fabrics and tailoring. Her subsequent career as an actress further deepened her perception of the inner needs of women through clothing.

Since its establishment, Yiwen Studio operates its own atelier, offering bespoke haute couture services. It also launches seven ready-to-wear collections to cater to women’s diverse life scenarios: Versatile Wear Collection, Resort Collection, Mother & Child Collection, Neo-Chinese Collection, Knitwear Collection, Haute Couture Collection and the online sub-line.

The aesthetic of Yiwen Cao blends French vintage charm with the understated elegance of the East.

Specialised in three-dimensional tailoring, the designer creates a graceful, safe sanctuary for the body for women. While flattering the figure by highlighting strengths and conceating flaws, the brand prioritises wearing comfort.

The brand sources premium fabrics from all over the world, including mulberry silk, wool, cashmere, lace and linen. Distinct textures and styles of materials come together in Yiwen Cao’s designs, creating a harmonious fusion and coexistence.
