Hello
FANRUI SUN
Fashion designer, Digital visual artist
Chinese digital artist and designer Fanrui Sun is at the vanguard of merging luxury sensibilities with 3D technology. She has notably collaborated on projects with brands and creatives such as Adidas, Mercedes Benz, and Nick Knight's Ikon-1, gaining recognition from prominent publications including China Daily, Cosmo China, and ARTÉMIS. She is currently earning her Master's in Fashion at the Royal College of Art in London, while also contributing as a member of Xtended Identity, a leading digital fashion brand that recognizes the multi-faceted nature of human identity, encompassing both the physical and digital realms.
As one of the designers leading the exploration of new forms in fashion, Fanrui draws inspiration from the mysterious and largely unexplored organic forms of marine life. She combines these physical inspirations with characteristics of digital technology, like algorithms and open methodology, to imagine clothing as a force that can change the definition of the body and identity. Fanrui also focuses on the potential pitfalls of the digital medium in order to make digital fashion more accessible and foster equity within the industry. "My vision is to provide a richer clothing experience by thinking about the connections and boundaries between fashion, the medium, and life," she says.
