Bio

Zhiwen Qiu was born in Spain to Chinese immigrant parents and learned at an early age that belonging is nurtured, not inherited. Now located between New York City and Seville, she channels that lifelong negotiation into fashion, specializing in knitwear rooted in cross-cultural storytelling. A graduate of Parsons with a Bachelor's in Fashion Design, her work treats the garment as an archive, a place where memory and textiles meet.
