Barbara Bui was born in Paris, France, in 1957, to a Vietnamese father and French mother. She graduated from the Faculty of Literature at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

She opened her first Paris fashion shop in 1983. Four years later she departed for New York with the aim of advancing her brand in the international fashion arena.

Her designs are charming.
This dress invites comparison with typically Eastern scenery.

Eastern cultural motifs appear in her designs,
including patterns of dragons, tigers and lions.

The chrysanthemum carries more connotations of Eastern cultures.

In the latest collection, Barbara Bui uses a palette of white, black, brown,
blue and yellow to emphasise warmth and luxury.

from September 24 to October 3.
