KIM SHUI

NYC-based womenswear label Kim Shui is a quiet pop culture staple that embraces the body and empowers the wearer with its formfitting ready-to-wear. American-born and raised in Rome by Chinese parents, the brand’s namesake and creative director Kim Shui cites her mélange of cultural experiences as essential inspiration—expressed in a diverse use of vibrant prints, striking textiles, and eclectic contours. Snug chiffon dresses, petite lace-up tops, and sheer mesh pants are emboldened by swathed constructions, ruching, and cut-outs that create exciting and flattering shapes. Through designs that center the wearer, Kim Shui’s snug silhouettes and sundry patterns radiate a unique confidence and allure.
