What to know about Fax Copy Express
The name is a copy-shop joke
Founded in 2020 by Lia Liao and Nick Wang, the label is named after express print-and-copy shops — a jab at how often fashion recycles the same patterns.
Fit does the work, not print
Collections run on pared-back shapes in neutral tones: fitted jersey tops, wide-leg and V-line trousers, knitwear and denim, plus EVA Shell Clogs.
Shanghai label, global stockists
Sold through SSENSE, Net-a-Porter, Farfetch and Nubian Tokyo, with pricing that sits above basics and leans on durability rather than seasonal turnover.
