Made in New York
The Snow Xue Gao collection is designed and produced locally in New York City. Her creative process begins with a discovery period at local NYC vintage shops where she uncovers styles and silhouettes from bygone eras that can be reimagined as contemporary pieces. Using her signature draping technique, Snow cuts and contours each idea into bold shapes.
