Candy Hsin Yu Chu grew up in Taipei, Taiwan where she graduated from Guang Ren High School. Currently earning her B.F.A. in Fashion Design from the Academy of Art University, Candy’s graduation collection uses shearling, silk Duchess and organza and is inspired by her love of traveling. On a trip through Alaska last year, Candy was deeply influenced by the region’s ethnic groups and glacier climbers. She incorporated vintage, outdoor details throughout her collection such as pockets, two way zippers, and drawstrings.
