fter
obtaining a degree in Accounting & Finance
from the University of British Columbia, Ranee
furthered her studies in fashion at Parsons
School of Design, New York. After graduation,
she interned at Donna Karen and shortly after,
launched her own label "ranee_k" in
New York in 1999. In 2000, Ranee opened her
first signature shop in Hong Kong.
Coming from a background
where the fusion of cultures is a way of life,
Ranee's work represents an expressive dialogue
between the East and the West. Drawing on her
Oriental roots and her love for Art Deco, Ranee
defines her distinctive style by offering nostalgic
sensibility balanced with self expressive elegance,
enhanced by Oriental details. Her design is
expressed through asymmetrical yet balanced
cutting, which echoes the playfulness of feminine
tailored details. More importantly, Ranee believes
clothing should offer a sense of confidence
and identity to woman in all cultures.
