In recent years, we have seen a rise in Asian American Fashion Designers such as Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang (one of my favs), Jason Wu, Doo Ri Chung, Derek Lam, Peter Som, Thakoon and Richard Chai. This brings music to my ears as I love to see the success of my own kind (being Chinese-American myself). As quoted in a WSJ article, A Design Generation Rising, “To explain the sharp increase in their numbers, many young Asian-American designers point to a cultural shift within their communities that has liberated them from traditional career expectations.”
Philip Lim, Alexander Wang, Doo Ri Chung and Derek Lam
We love to support each and every one of them. So needless to say, when we come across pieces from our fellow Asian kind, it’s hard to contain our excitement! Take a look at some of them that are available at covetshop.com now!

This Alexander Wang Morgan Hobo just came out! If you love this style, you better get it quick, otherwise, it could end up being a wait listed item like the Rocco Satchel!
