My Life

Mio Li

Born into the illustrious lineage of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I carry within me the heritage of a royal legacy that shaped centuries of culture and refinement. My childhood unfolded in the heart of Central Peking, within the historic embrace of a siheyuan—a traditional courtyard home nestled beside the grandeur of the Forbidden City.

Here, surrounded by echoes of imperial elegance, I found inspiration not only in the timeless traditions of my heritage but also in the dynamic contrasts of American pop culture and the prestige of ancient Roman civilization.

These diverse influences—East and West, classical and contemporary—shaped my perspective on beauty and artistry from an early age. A natural talent for aesthetics, design, and taste guided my path, fueled by an obsession with French and Italian visual elegance and a deep admiration for traditional Chinese concepts of beauty. These passions wove together, forming a unique vision that honors both heritage and innovation.

As a teenager, I embarked on a transformative journey to Melbourne, where I honed my craft and studied Visual Arts at Monash University. This period was not just academic but also profoundly personal—a time to refine my sensibilities and expand my worldview.

My career unfolded across the vibrant global capitals of Los Angeles and London, where I immersed myself in the worlds of fashion, art, and design. Working with iconic luxury houses from Italy, France, and Germany, I gained unparalleled insights into the art of timeless sophistication. My credentials include an LVMH certification—a testament to my deep understanding of the luxury industry and my commitment to excellence.

Today, I call Sydney home, a city whose natural beauty and cosmopolitan spirit mirror my own philosophy. Yet, the world remains my canvas. My life is a perpetual journey, traveling across continents to uncover hidden treasures—each piece a story, a legacy, a symbol of beauty waiting to find its rightful owner.

Through this brand, I seek to bring not just luxury, but a deeper sense of harmony, joy, and cultural connection. Each creation and curated piece is a tribute to the universal pursuit of beauty and the timeless values of craftsmanship and artistry.

Welcome to a world where every detail tells a story, and every piece invites you to live a life of inspired elegance.
