About Us

We close the gap between how clothing is made and how it should feel.

Lily Cho Design was founded on a simple belief: clothing shaped by hand — not templated, not trend-chased — is the only kind worth making or wearing.

What We Stand For

Four words, each one earned

Elegant

We shape with restraint and intention. Elegance is not decoration — it is the discipline of removing everything that doesn't belong.

🧵

Crafted

We measure success by what you wear, not what we sketched. A garment that stays unworn is a failure of craft, not a failure of taste.

🪞

Personal

Every piece is shaped around the person wearing it — their body, their occasion, their sense of self. Nothing is generic by design.

📐

Classic

We sketch before we cut, fit before we finish, and refine before we release. Clothing made to outlast the season it was designed for.

The Team

Small by design. Senior by default.

We don't scale by hiring assistants. Every person in the studio has shaped garments from brief to finished piece.

Common Questions

About Lily Cho Design

Who founded Lily Cho Design and when was it established?
Lily Cho Design was founded by Lily Cho, a designer who spent years working across fashion houses and independent ateliers before establishing her own label. The studio was founded on the belief that hand-drawn design — not trend-chasing or mass production — is the only approach that produces clothing capable of lasting beyond the season it was made for.
What makes Lily Cho Design different from other fashion labels?
Three things distinguish us: every piece begins as a hand-drawn sketch (no CAD-first shortcuts), we work in small runs (every client or stockist receives direct attention, not a warehouse fulfilment), and we model garments on real bodies before committing to production (every collection goes through a full fitting cycle before a single finished piece leaves the studio).
Does Lily Cho Design offer custom or bespoke commissions?
Yes. Alongside our seasonal collections, we take a limited number of bespoke commissions each year — hand-drawn from a brief, fitted in-studio, and finished to order. Custom commissions begin with a consultation to understand your occasion, body, and aesthetic preferences. Lead time is typically six to ten weeks depending on complexity.
