Ying Gao
Since 2005, I have collaborated with Ying Gao on designing works that combine fashion design, industrial design and media arts. Sometimes interactive and often polymorphous, Gao’s works can be found in numerous private and public collections, including those of Dakis Joannou and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
A Montreal based fashion designer and professor at University of Quebec in Montreal, former head of Fashion, jewellery and accessories design Programme at HEAD-Genève, Ying Gao has achieved personal distinction through her numerous creative projects presented in more than one hundred exhibitions around the world. Her varied creative work has enjoyed international media coverage: Time, Vogue, The New York Times, Dazed and Confused, Interni, ARTE. She is one of the “Fab 40: Canada” selected by Wallpaper magazine.
