FLEU . FORMOSA

Yu-Hsuan Chen (preferred name Stephanie), is a Taiwanese-born, New York-based designer, focused on luxury minimal womenswear. She holds a BFA Fashion Design degree from Pratt Institute and is a recent graduate from Fashion Institute of Technology with an MFA Fashion Design degree.
Stephanie has worked closely with New York-based designers Narciso Rodriguez, Prabal Gurung, Caron Callahan, and Asher Levine.
Her mother is the first woman who inspired her with the contrast of vulnerability and strength, informing her definition of empowering women.
Stephanie came to New York City to receive professional training for her design career, however, the city has taught her the complete opposite of home, nourishing her character even more, and training her critical thinking as an artist, she is constantly thinking about innovation, what’s new, and what’s next?
Under the clash of opposite influences is where FORMOSA, the brand was born.
“FORMOSA” echoes to our muse and how we want them to be strong, independent, and elegantly stand out. She will always empower her independence, by expressing herself through clothing, accessories, her scent, and attitude.
