The Launch of New Apparel Brand LILING LIAO with AW26 Collection

A New Dawn in Fashion: The Birth of LILING LIAO

In a vibrant twist to the apparel industry, Osaka-based Olinks, a pioneering company, has introduced a fresh fashion label, LILING LIAO. This innovative brand showcases its inaugural AW26 Collection with a powerful theme that reverberates with a modern sensibility rooted in Eastern aesthetics.

Meet the Visionary Behind the Brand

The heartbeat of LILING LIAO is its founder and designer, 廖莉玲 (Ryo Rirei), who not only hails from Kobe but has deep roots in China. Bridging her background as a floral designer, she aims to redefine how fashion can express one’s individuality. Her vision underpins the brand's concept, “East in Bloom,” promising designs that transcend age and trends while accentuating personal uniqueness.

A Dual Offering: Womenswear and Menswear

Beyond the impressive women's line, LILING LIAO is also launching a men's collection directed by fellow floral designer 小西健太 (Konishi Kenta). Both lines harmonize to articulate a cohesive brand narrative that reflects the artistic flourish of their creators.

To celebrate the launch, exclusive pre-order events for the AW26 Collection are taking place across three iconic cities: Kobe, Tokyo, and Nagoya. As early reservations began on July 3, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, with the Tokyo venue already at full capacity and limited slots available in Kobe and Nagoya.

The Essence of AW26 Collection: “Play with Grace”

The theme, “Play with Grace,” encapsulates the essence of the AW26 Collection. It delivers a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and meticulously calculated silhouettes. Highlights of this collection include an original check fabric set-up, which represents the culmination of creative design efforts. The original textile, crafted from scratch, combined with carefully selected materials, amplifies the uniqueness of each piece.

Among the standout items are knits made from リリーヤーン (Liliana yarn), exuding nostalgia while maintaining modern appeal. LILING LIAO believes that clothing transcends basic utility and reflects one's inner self, making a statement about personal identity.

Men’s Collection: Timeless and Thoughtful

Simultaneously, the men's line headed by 小西健太 embodies the principle of “Considered Design.” By focusing on simplicity and function, each piece is meticulously crafted, ensuring it fits seamlessly into everyday life without compromising style. Inspired by CPO (Chief Petty Officer) shirts, the CPO jacket and trousers blend practicality with elegant silhouettes in a balanced manner.

Available in Chalk Stripe (Navy), Light Grey, and Black, this men’s collection expresses LILING LIAO's ethos through a distinctively different lens compared to the women’s line.

Engaging Experiences at Pre-order Events

During the pre-order events in Kobe, Tokyo, and Nagoya, attendees can intimately interact with the fabrics and silhouettes. 廖莉玲 personally assists each guest in selecting the perfect size and styling, transforming the process of choosing outfits into a reflective journey of self-discovery. The brand encourages participants to embrace their identities through the garments they choose to wear.

As the launch continues to garner excitement within the fashion community, LILING LIAO invites you to discover the beauty of self-expression through their AW26 Collection. The official website and social media platforms provide further insights and updates:
