Wen Zhou (New York)

In 2005, Wen Zhou co-founded the brand 3.1 Phillip Lim with designer Phillip Lim. Its features are considered cool, easy, chic, elegant and of high quality. Moreover, its prices are much lower than top brands such as Chanel and Prada, so sales skyrocketed. Wen also runs Aegis, the fabric company she started herself.
