Today I invite you to meet Annching Wang an ambitious young designer who captured my attention with her strong belief in building a new economy with independent fashion businesses and entrepreneurs at the centre of it.
She has recently graduated with a degree in fashion and technology and has carved the beginnings of a career as a writer and communications strategist for independent fashion businesses. She has learned a lot into this period, so now she’s trying to find funds on a crowd funding platform - IndieGoGo - to launch her first clothing line named: AVERY
AVERY, is a capsule collection of art and is inspired by the power of simplicity and a love of imagination. It was founded by Annching on the idea of taking something classic and refreshing it with a sense of meaning, progress and play.
What I loved the most at her line was her the idea of creating a collection that make people look and feel good, using basic pieces to act as the building blocks of a wardrobe that express personal style and values. Annching strongly believes that intersection between beauty and utility is design.
I’m trying to help Annching bring her fashion dream to life and spread the word to anyone who can contribute on IndieGoGo with funds that may help her to launch.
I’ve talked a little bit with Annching on her passion, her vision and her thoughts on the fashion business. Firstly I’ll invite you to see a short video with her story and then read the interview.

Diana Ionescu is one of my favorite make-up artists. Why? Because I believe that she’s not doing make-up as a job. She’s doing more than that. She’s creating art that comes from the inside of her and she’s expressing it through make-up.
