Designer Christina Fan launched her label, C/FAN, in Fall of 2008. Fan studied history at Northwestern University but found herself inexplicably attracted to the world of fashion and design. C/FAN began as a collection of winter coats and basic t-shirts and has since evolved to include Saville Row inspired suiting, diaphanous dresses and separates. The label has garnered a cult following for the luxe, beautiful fabrics and precise, refined tailoring. C/FAN collections all draw upon various inspirations from the worlds of art, music, film and pop culture. Each collection has a narrative character or central theme. Influences include the brooding, fierce Dagny Taggart, the illicit Opium dens of 1920's China, the many eccentric characters of Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood and a vintage Claude Montana shirt.

A tree’s heart holds all memories past while expanding and protecting the new. It accepts and holds within itself all the joy and sadness of life while also reaching outwards and spreading it’s love to shelter others. I say that is true love.

“Look into yourself; discover yourself; keep close to yourself; call back your mind and will, that elsewhere consume themselves into yourself; you run out, you spill yourself; carry a more steady hand: men betray you, men spill you, men steal you from yourself. Dost thou not see that this world we live in keeps all its sight confined within, and its eyes open to contemplate itself?” -God of Delphos

“Where death waits for us is uncertain; let us look for him everywhere. The premeditation of death is the premeditation of liberty; he who has learned to die, has unlearned to serve.” - Michel de Montaigne
