“The earth gives us these beautiful even ordinary things.”
Han Feng grew up in Nanjing and Hangzhou, and received her education from the China Academy of Arts. She moved to New York in 1985 and launched her first ready-to-wear collection in 1993.
She made her costume design debut with Anthony Minghella's Madama Butterfly at the English National Opera and Met Opera.
Han Feng's clothing design and installations have been featured in major exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Neue Galerie and Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, among others.
Han Feng finds inspiration in her exploration of highly refined textures, materials and craftsmanship. She has long been a champion and collector of contemporary Chinese art, collaborating closely with many artists on exciting discoveries to combine art and design, leading up to the opening of Han Feng Art Space in Shanghai in November 2017.
