About SUM LONDON:
SUM LONDON is a British-Asian Heritage brand based in London with the mission to connect the Asian Diaspora through our shared stories and celebrating mixed cultural identities. Vive’s dancers will be showing the JIĀYÓU | 加油 capsule that launched during NYFW along Doyer’s Street, Chinatown as a Guerrilla Runway. In the spirit of JIĀYÓU | 加油 and finding time to reboot and recharge between our goals for the New Year, we hope the art and practice of tea drinking and enjoying the pleasures of dance and classical music can inspire restful pitstops during our endeavours amongst the hustle and bustle of our melting pots.
