About

I’m Yi-Ling Fang, a senior womenswear designer based in Paris with over a decade of experience in the luxury fashion industry, including Victoria Beckham, Joseph, and Shang Xia.
With a background that spans the entire design process, I lead research, vintage and fabric sourcing, sketching, 3D draping, collection planning, prototype fittings, and final product refinement. I collaborate closely with Creative Directors and development teams to define collection direction and ensure design integrity at every stage.
My design approach blends timeless elegance with technical precision, focusing on silhouette, cutting, and material innovation. Drawing inspiration from menswear and functional garments, I reinterpret them through a modern, effortless, and sophisticated lens.
Currently working as a freelance design consultant, I bring creativity, structure, and depth to each project, developing cohesive collections from concept to commercialisation.

Each project demonstrates my focus on silhouette, cutting, and material innovation, blending craftsmanship and experimentation through double-faced fabrics, bonded materials, and laser-cut techniques.
