What Dawei is known for
Paris-based ready-to-wear label founded in 2016 by designer Dawei Sun, who trained at Balenciaga, John Galliano and Cacharel; East-meets-West collections mix playful prints and sharp tailored silhouettes for a modern-Parisian wardrobe.
DAWEI is the eponymous label of designer Dawei Sun, who pairs Chinese roots — with strong ties to Beijing — and years of Paris fashion-house experience, including stints at Balenciaga, John Galliano and Cacharel, into what the brand describes as an East-meets-West, 'advanced contemporary' aesthetic. He founded the label alone in 2016, building a Parisian creative team while maintaining a strong presence in China. The collections are known for structured yet approachable silhouettes, playful prints and sharp tailoring, spanning both womenswear and menswear rather than a single product category. The studio is based at 7 Rue du Marché Saint-Honoré in Paris's 1st arrondissement, and the label is stocked by retailers including Lane Crawford. DAWEI is recognized within the French fashion establishment as a listed house of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM).
