Before specializing in Fashion, Grace also studied sculpture and performance art. This fueled the influence to create fashion that is multifaceted, often involving film, performance and collaboration. Having also been modeling since the age of 16, Grace worked both in front and behind the camera, and played the role of a Bridesmaid in the Hollywood movie - CRAZY RICH ASIANS. Ever since launching her inaugural collection, GRACE LING has been recognized in Vogue Italia, Vogue Singapore, 1 Granary Magazine, and is the recipient of the Grand Prize for Diane Pernet’s ASVOFF x Artsthread x FNL Network 2020 International Fashion Film Festival in Paris.

AGRACE LING is about eccentric elegance and intelligent femininity. Founded on quirky accessories and sophisticated coats, the core of our design process involves a lot of 3D tech/printing, CAD and CGI. This allows us to calculate the exact amount of materials needed and create unique forms with zero waste. By fusing technology with traditional methods of craft, this completes a GRACE LING product.
We devote ourselves to creating timeless pieces that outlasts seasons and trends. With an emphasis on fine quality and materials, GRACE LING is a uniform for the cultured modern person - a lifestyle and witty spirit that holds an ongoing dialogue with the world of art, collaboration and multidisciplinary fashion.
