Co-Founder & Creative Director, GRAYE

Qian

Qian is the Co-Founder and Creative Director of GRAYE, a Singapore-based unisex fashion label with a distinct approach to contemporary dressing. Since co-founding the brand in 2016, she has led its creative direction with a focus on clarity, function, and longevity, shaping a design language defined by quiet structure, thoughtful construction, and versatility.

With a background in fashion design and a strong sensitivity to proportion, materiality, and wearability, Qian approaches clothing as a form of lived design. Her work is guided by the belief that garments should not only communicate a point of view, but also integrate meaningfully into everyday life. This perspective has informed GRAYE’s evolution from menswear into a contemporary unisex label centred on purposeful, repeat-wear pieces.

Under her direction, the brand has become recognised for its restrained aesthetic, engineered silhouettes, and considered balance between form and function. Qian’s practice is rooted in refinement rather than excess, with an emphasis on creating enduring pieces that remain relevant beyond seasonality. Her perspective brings together creative discipline, practicality, and a strong commitment to design that is both useful and lasting.
