10 Female Designers Making a Mark on NYFW

Founder Wei Lin’s family has been in the manufacturing business for 30 years, working with numerous designers and developing a true understanding of creating clothing that’s high quality and comfortable. The other half of PH5, designer Mijia Zhang, often creates outfits based on works of art, such as the FW16 collection, inspired by indoor clouds created by Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde. Lin believes clothing represents identity and works to introduce pieces that can be used in this way; we love that she combines family traditions with modern art to create one-of-a-kind outfits (which we can then wear to be badasses ourselves!).
