 Fashion designer Christine Lau was born in Beijing and raised in Hong Kong. At the age of 18, she was accepted by Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and trained as a textile designer. After graduation, apart from working as a textile designer, her enthusiasm for fashion motivated her to teach herself to become a fashion designer. The multi-cultural environment she grew up in not only influenced her creative views deeply but also played an irreplaceable role in the forming of her distinctive style for fashion. In 2009, taking her background in textile design as an exceptional advantage, the 24-year old reinvented herself as a fashion designer and found fashion label Chictopia.
Chictopia's philosophy is to create cutting edge elegance along with originality of designing. The designer ingeniously blends retro elements and modern simplicity together in order to create a style which is exquisite yet classy. Christine Lau believes fabric is the key to fashion, therefore she is very specific when it comes to selecting fabrics for her collections. Designing her own quirky fabric prints for each collection is an unmissable feature of Chictopia, which also makes Chictopia an one of a kind fashion label comparing to the others.
Providing individual and wearable design at reasonable price is always the priority of the label. A Chictopia lady is independent, confident and elegant, who pursues, influences and passes on beauty with passion and attitude of unique in her own way without outside interferences.
