About SISIO & Charlotte Shao.
SISIO is an independent fashion label founded in 2018 by Central Saint Martins and Parsons graduated designer Charlotte Shao. “SIS” stands for “sister” combining with the design philosophy of “Yin” and “Yang”, and the two ‘’i‘’ inside of SISIO present as a positive one and a negative one.
SISIO explores surrealistic fantasy, breaking down modern technology and its cold veneer, fusing it with social cultural beliefs, traditional crafts and avant-garde elements to achieve a unique and captivating aesthetic.
“Every coin has two sides. In fashion, I find it very interesting that many contrasting ideas actually keep good balances, like scheming and true feeling, elegance and vulgarity, virtuality and reality, bright and dark... Just like Chinese ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’.”
