Maggie Liu
Collection
Concept Statement
My process begins with memory—garments my aunts wore in the 80s, and the interiors, plants, flowers, textures I grew up surrounded by.
Moving between 3 countries and many cities since childhood, I learned to rebuild a sense of security through atmosphere: diffused warm light, linens and cottons, incense, scent of teas.
This collection translates that warmth into clothing as a portable refuge. I focus on lived, everyday aesthetics—material, drape, restraint, and small details that hold tenderness. The work is also shaped by my current apartment in New York, which has become an extension of my family's influences.
