Vivienne Hu New York is a high-fashion luxury brand founded by designer Vivienne Hu, a New York–based fashion designer. She spent seven years completing her college education in finance in Stuttgart, Germany, at the University of Hohenheim, before launching her first professional career in investment banking at Citi Group headquarters in New York City.

She later pursued her creative calling by studying fashion design at Parsons School of Design in New York, where she refined her aesthetic and technical approach to design.

In 2013, Vivienne Hu launched her label with a focus on modern, refined footwear, establishing a foundation rooted in craftsmanship, structure, and elevated design.

In 2014, she debuted her women’s ready-to-wear collection at New York Fashion Week. Since then, Vivienne Hu New York has continued to present high-quality, design collections at New York Fashion Week each season, establishing the brand as a consistent presence on the international fashion calendar.

In 2016, Vivienne Hu was named a Swarovski Collective Designer, recognizing her creative vision and couture-level craftsmanship.

Beginning in 2017, Saga Furs collabrated Vivienne Hu for five consecutive seasons, presenting sustainable fur collections at New York Fashion Week and highlighting the brand’s commitment to responsible luxury and material innovation.

Vivienne Hu New York delicates into men’s high-fashion footwear, a category of luxury alligator leather shoes positioned not merely as accessories, but as fashion statements — merging rare materials, architectural form, and runway sensibility into modern menswear.

In 2019, Vivienne Hu received the Visionary Artist Award from the USC Pacific Asia Museum, honoring her artistic influence and cross-cultural contribution to fashion.
