In the past few years of my creative journey, my work reflects my life. In each life stage, I contemplated the relationship between the other and me, reflecting the relationship between environment and me, reflecting the relationship between other and environment. In each stage, creating is like driftwood, creating breathing space, and it allowed me to clarify the understanding of life.
Xiaomo Chen — About
Xiaomo (Hsiao Mo) Chen
Designer  ·  Mentor  ·  Creative Consultant

Designer and creative consultant working across fashion, knitwear, and high jewelry — with a practice shaped equally by technical rigour and cultural imagination.

My career has moved through some of New York's most demanding creative environments. At Thom Browne, I contributed fully fashioned knitwear development for collections valued over $10M per season — coordinating with manufacturing partners across Italy, the UK, and Ireland, and contributing runway pieces to New York Fashion Week and the Paris Couture Show. At Lorraine Schwartz, I work on custom and celebrity jewelry projects within one of New York's most private fine jewelry ateliers, while co-leading the rebuild of its operational inventory system from the ground up.

I hold an MFA from Parsons School of Design (Departmental Honours), and have returned each semester since 2022 as a Guest Critic — working alongside MFA candidates on thesis development, design process, and how to present work with conviction. I hold dual O-1A Extraordinary Ability visas: self-petitioned, and independently sponsored by Thom Browne upon promotion.

Currently based between New York and Taipei, I advise emerging designers and brands on portfolio development, graduate school applications, and international career strategy.

Trained in Shima Seiki engineering at Fu Jen Catholic University. Recipient of Taiwan's Ministry of Culture Overseas Elite Training Scholarship — ranked 1st nationally. Co-creator of 《尋找她的狼》In Search of Her Wolf (2024), acquired by Eslite Gallery, Taipei.
