ORAZ is the collection of Anna Yinan Zhou’s self-expression, founded after her graduation fashion from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Her thesis was picked as the opening collection of the graduation show.
Anna was the finalist of the competition “In Between”, hosted by The Met of the year 2017 of Rei Kawakubo from her school and the CFDA Scholarship hosted by CFDA.
Anna’s collection is gravitating towards the avant-garde and chaotic aesthetic. Her design philosophy combines sensuality with chic functionality, expressing emotional vitality through a wide range of materials in an unorthodox and sophisticated way.
Anna’s thesis collection has selected immediately after the graduation show by Tush Magazine, Germany to create the “Never Ending Story” alongside with the major designers Chanel, Dior, Lanvin, Fendi, Prada, Comme des Garcons, Dries Van Noten, etc.
