Portrait of Ran Su, Culture & Active Lifestyle Editor at Fexwear

Ran Su

Ran Su looks after the culture and activity desk, where clothing meets the context it is worn in: cycling, riding, fishing, gym training, team kit, and the everyday dress codes around them. She writes about why a garment detail exists, not just what it is called, and about the people and clubs who end up specifying it. Her reporting starts from use cases - a club ordering twenty jackets, a rider choosing a base layer for a wet morning, a studio kit that has to survive weekly washing - and works back to the specification. She also handles the regional and historical pieces in our library, and is careful to describe a tradition or a local market from sourced material rather than from generalisation.
