Lu was born in the Bei Jing, China in 1981. She left her hometown at 17 to explore the world. She gained her unique perspective growing up between an artist family in China and boarding school in the Leysin, Switzerland. After extensive European travel it was time to settle down. Since fashion had always been an interest she went to Paris, France, and studied to become a fashion designer. After two years at Parsons school of Paris, she left Paris to NY. She finished her bachelor degree at Parson school
of design, NY. She was the gold thimble winner of the fashion department in 2005. One piece from her senior collection was shown in the window of Saks Fifth Avenue at 2005.
After graduation, she felt the urge to try something new. This time, she chose to work as a fashion stylist. She worked with a well-known fashion stylist GK Reid, to help him working with high profile Hollywood celebrities. Fueled by a constant passion for fashion, art and creation, Lu travels back to China to produce her first collection and speaks to the world with her own translation of fashion and Art.
