Jiarui Shi, born in Beijing in 2001, graduated with First-Class Honours in Womenswear Design from the London College of Fashion in 2024. Her graduation collection was selected for the International Lab of Mittelmoda, a prestigious Italian fashion competition. During her studies, she completed an internship and worked as a design assistant at the London-based designer label Phoebe English.
In 2025, she founded her womenswear brand, Jiarui, in Shanghai. Her design philosophy is shaped by the meeting of nature and human culture, influenced by her upbringing in Northern China and formative years in Europe. She is known for combining intricate artisanal details with clean, architectural silhouettes, blending traditional Chinese and European craftsmanship into contemporary fashion.
Jiarui draws inspiration from moments of tranquility found in nature and culture. Aims to create a timeless wardrobe for modern women that seamlessly adapts to diverse scenarios, poetically embodying an image of independence, eternity, and subtle grace.
Each piece honors tradition and handcraft. Cut with architectural intention yet flowing with natural ease, these garments are designed to linger, in feeling, in form, and in the quiet moments they inhabit.
