“Louise Xin, la créatrice qui confronte l'industrie de la mode à ses démons your brand”

Self-taught, award-winning, fashion designer Louise Xin battled with mental health problems since teenager for many years until she finally hit rock bottom. It was there she came up with an idea that changed her life. Follow her journey from catching fireflies in China to becoming a shopaholic in Sweden, before transforming into a human rights activist who seeks to inspire a more sustainable fashion industry with the help of her beautiful rental-only, haute couture dresses worn on Nobel banquets and red carpets.


Her passion for sustainability and personal goal to create a circular brand led her into humanitarian work, dedicating her debut fashion show to raising awareness around war and genocide. In 2022, Xin was appointed to the Sakharov fellowship for Human Rights Defenders by the European Parliament.
