About YINAN

YINAN is a study in contrasts - sculptural yet sensual, grounded yet ethereal. Founded in 2020 by designer Anna Yinan Zhou and based in Midtown, New York City, the brand explores dressing as a quiet form of empowerment. Through couture, ready-to-wear, handbags, accessories, and jewelry, YINAN offers a wardrobe defined by form, precision, and emotion.

Each collection reveals a tension between softness and structure, past and present. Shaped by personal memory, meticulous craftsmanship, and a distinct visual language.
