Christina Zhu is a multidisciplinary designer based in Shanghai and London, specializing in accesso- ries that incorporate metalwork, resin, plastics, and traditional Chinese lacquer techniques. Adept at trend forecasting, creative planning, and material sourcing, with a proven track record of creating cohesive, market-ready collections. Skilled in managing the entire design process from concept to production, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and delivering high-quality products under tight deadlines.

“A Twin’s Farewell” explores the intricate relationship between twins, identity, and possessions through funerary accessories. Drawing inspiration from traditional lacquer work, this collection delves into societal expectations, personal experiences, and shared memories that often obscure the true nature of twinship. By integrating fragrances inspired by memories into these accessories, Christina creates a multi-sensory experience that transcends the visual, evoking deeper emotional connections and exploring the essence of life, death, and the unique bond between twins.
