1991

Charles Lu (born c. 1991) is a Canadian fashion designer known for his womenswear, evening-wear, and garment construction.

2007

In 2007, while attending Cardinal Newman Secondary (High School), Charles produced a 21-look collection as part of 'DREAM Big Show' charity event with the DREAMS Team committee (Dominican Republic Education and Medical Supplies).

The charity event took place on November 27, 2007 pairing music and fashion together.

They raised 11,000 dollars.

All of the proceeds from the event went towards funding the promotion of awareness and aid of those less fortunate in the Dominican Republic.

After graduating high school at 18, Charles went on to study fashion design at the Italian design school, Instituto Marangoni in London, UK.

Charles Lu spent a decade building his career abroad both in London, UK and Dubai, UAE.

2012

Under his direction, Charles produced three demi-couture collections under the label, 'Arushi Couture X Charles Lu'.

2017

His introductory collection for Arushi Couture was a spring-summer 2017 'made-to-order' collection titled, 'INARA SS17'.

The collection was inspired by modern architecture with the use of clean lines representing light on glass and metal.

Architect, Zaha Hadid was a primary influence with Charles referencing her use of biomorphic shapes and against the backdrop of black and white.

The collection had notes of Japanese linear minimalism, art deco architecture, and cited historical garment construction.

The collection highlighted the theme of extremes such as: light and dark, soft and hard,

2019

In 2019, toward the end of his tenure as the creative director for Arushi Couture, Charles Lu went on to participate in Netflix's new original fashion design competition series, Next in Fashion, where filming began on April until May 2019 in Los Angeles.

The show featured 18 international designers on a global scale.

Charles Lu was the only Canadian on the show.

Prior to the show, Charles worked exclusively with evening-wear but adapted with the various weekly design challenges.

He was partnered with an Italian fashion designer, Angelo Cruciani.

In an interview with the CBC, Canada, Charles details that his experience was rigorous and difficult but was a large period of growth for him. He was also the only contestant without a namesake brand label during filming.
