DOUCHANGLEE, stylized in all capital letters, is a Taiwanese fashion designer brand founded in 1995 by Stephan Dou (竇騰璜) and Chang Lee Yu-Ching (張李玉菁). The name of the brand is from combining the surnames of the founders.[1] The brand developed within Taiwan's emerging designer fashion scene in the 1990s and gradually expanded its retail presence across northern, central, and southern Taiwan.[2]
In 2013, the designers received the "Fashion Designer of the Year" award at the Elle Style Awards in Taiwan, which increased the brand's visibility domestically. Over the following decade, DOUCHANGLEE continued to present seasonal collections and participate in major fashion events, including Taipei Fashion Week.[3]
In early summer 2018, DOUCHANGLEE opened its first overseas concept store in Vancouver, Canada, marking its initial expansion into the international market.[4][5]
