Cashmere Queen Lisa Yang Celebrated the Lunar New Year—and the Brand’s First 10 Years in Fashion—at Mr. Chow

“Someone has said that you don’t create your own dreams, rather a dream is given to you and it’s up to you to embrace it. That is what Lisa and I did 10 years ago, and the dream was to create something special out of this historical yarn with roots in China, combined with a Scandinavian aesthetic,” Sternberg said movingly in a speech. “We’re not leaving this screen and we believe that the journey has just begun. Ten years is a fantastic milestone and we believe New York City is the place to do it, this is the place where the West meets East.” Yang concurs, “it’s a city where everyone’s dream can be fulfilled,” she wrote in an email exchange.

Turning dream into reality, the brand has created a 10-piece limited edition Ten Year collection of some of its classics, each featuring a small hand-embroidered heart. What’s next for the brand? “To dare to dream bigger,” said Yang.
