Collection: Carmen

Welcome to Carmen, an online atelier based in Shanghai and New York. The designer Katrina Lee, born in Taiwan and raised in Shanghai, is shaped by her travels through Paris and New York. Carmen began as a personal sketchbook, a way of imagining the woman she hoped to become and the adventures she had yet to chase. The brand is a celebration of those who lead lives of adventure, love, loss, and everything in between. Carmen seeks to dress the woman who lives between cultures and identities; the woman who loves deeply, who seeks adrenaline and beauty in equal measure, and who dresses most intentionally.

“I've always lived by the saying, ‘Visualize your highest self then show up as her.’ I guess this is my version of it.” 

Carmen is clothing made for adventure, guided by imagination, shaped by memory, and meant for the kind of life you only discover once you dare to live it.
