About the brand

Kim Shui is a New York City-based womenswear brand founded in 2016 by designer Kim Shui, whose multicultural background deeply influences her creative vision. Born to Chinese immigrant parents in the United States and raised in Rome, Italy, Kim draws from this rich cultural tapestry to create designs that celebrate diversity and challenge conventional fashion norms. The brand seeks to show a more expansive vision of who the American woman can be, centering women who have been traditionally sidelined. Kim Shui's aesthetic is characterized by bold, confident pieces that blend traditional Chinese elements with contemporary silhouettes. Her signature designs include sheer qi paos, daring corset tops, brocade mini dresses with artful cut-outs, and curve-hugging trousers with lace embellishments. The brand has gained significant recognition, dressing A-list celebrities including Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa, and Cardi B, establishing itself as a go-to choice for women who aren't afraid to make a statement.

Revolve

Wore this to a wedding and it's definitely a show stopper!! Will def need skin-colored undergarments as it's pretty sheer, but not uncomfortably so!

this dress is very sexy. unfortunately, I have a large chest so I had to return because the threat of a nip slip was too much to bear.

Projecting a “modern-day sexy cowgirl” aesthetic, this season's collection revolved around laser-cut pleather, displaying textures of unraveling, fringing, draping and shredding.

Kim Shui's FW25 pieces invited onlookers to question norms through a deconstructed lens that leaned on subversiveness rather than overt messaging.

Rent a Dress

This dress is super stretchy and can fit up to a size 10 with D cups. Regardless of your chest size, you need to tape the front of it. The dress is semi sheer so nude, seamless underwear is recommended.

Corsets featured patent leather at the waist for a cinched silhouette, with romantic straps grazing the shoulders.

Cute but extremely see through, top fits a bit big. For the cost, does not feel high quality.
