SHUTING QIU was founded in 2019 by Chinese designer Shuting Qiu, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. The brand is known for its unique blend of romantic, expressive, and bold feminine styles.
Each collection features asymmetrical shapes, vibrant prints, and emotional color stories. The brand works with skilled embroidery artisans to preserve traditional Chinese techniques and is committed to sustainability, using surplus silk, recycled embroidery threads, and faux fur.
Shuting Qiu designs for women around the world who want to feel strong, free, and true to themselves.
For Spring/Summer 2026, designer Shuting Qiu presents “Tender Rebellion”, a collection that explores the quiet power of softness. In a world that often sees gentleness as weakness, Shuting Qiu offers a different perspective — one where emotion, color, and craftsmanship become strong forms of expression.
The collection draws inspiration from contrasts — the fast pace of modern cities and the dreamlike beauty of the Tang Dynasty. The color palette is rich and emotional, with vibrant reds, liquid golds, and soft lilacs, all touched by elegant black and white to add depth and dimension.
Silhouettes feature bows, sculpted floral details, and flowing ruffles. Once symbols of childhood, these elements now represent independence and inner strength. Sheer fabrics and darker tones bring together romance and tension, giving softness a new, confident energy.
With Tender Rebellion, Shuting Qiu reimagines romance as a form of strength. These pieces become a kind of armor — delicate, expressive, and made for the modern woman.
