Our Mission

Empowering individuals towards an awakening of existence and consciousness through our Glitch-infused fashion.

Who are we

Founded in 2019 in New York by Yuchen Han, ALIENANT emerged from a powerful vision: a solitary ant struggling beneath a monumental grain of rice in an endless white mist. This image, symbolizing resilience and personal struggle, became the foundation of the brand’s philosophy, merging inner strength with a broader call for spiritual awakening and collective empowerment. ALIENANT electrifies the fashion world as more than a label, but as a catalyst for revolutionary change, inspiring a new era of creativity and consciousness.

Our Vision

Guiding humanity into an era of spiritual and civilizational enlightenment, ALIENANT illuminates the path towards a higher-dimensional Earth.

What we do

The brand’s unique range of men’s and women’s apparel, bags, and accessories embodies its signature “Glitch” art style, discovering harmony in life’s fragments and inviting individuals to embrace imperfections as part of their ultimate journey. More than fashion, ALIENANT serves as a gateway to spiritual awakening—pioneering, transformative, and illuminating—guiding humanity toward an enlightened future while redefining not only the world of fashion, but the world itself.

Founder & Creative Director:

Ascending Dimensions through Fashion: Yuchen Han Activates the 'Glitch Key,' Unveiling Humanity’s Gateway to an Enlightened New World.

  • Yuchen Han, the visionary founder of ALIENANT, transcends the role of a mere fashion designer. He is a herald of transformative eras, melding personal resilience and spiritual awakening into a global call for empowerment and progressive civilization. His journey, bridging personal trauma with enlightenment, redefines fashion as a conduit for epochal change.

  • Amid the trials of a turbulent childhood, Shadowed by his father's abuse and alienation, a recurring nightmare lingered in his psyche – that of a solitary ant grappling with the weight of a colossal grain of rice, journeying through endless white mist. This vision, though rooted in adversity, became the cornerstone of his creative awakening. It was the fearless creativity of Lady Gaga that kindled his inner spark. Fashion evolved into his vessel of empowerment, driven by a desire to uplift others who endured similar trials.

  • In 2017, Yuchen's odyssey led him to FIT's MFA program, a journey fueled by a decade-long education and passion for art and fashion. However, he soon found himself grappling with deep depression. From these depths in 2019, ALIENANT emerged –a brand rising from the ashes, symbolizing resilience and hope. ALIENANT elevated fashion beyond mere clothing，becoming armor and healing for the soul, and a 'wearable defense mechanism' against the rigors of life. It was here that he also pioneered his signature ‘Glitch’ art, an artistic expression finding harmony and beauty in life’s fragmented experiences, embracing the allure of imperfection.

  • ALIENANT's 2020 NYFW debut, a beacon of triumph, was quickly eclipsed by the COVID-19 pandemic. During the two years of ensuing solitude, Yuchen embarked on a hermit-like journey, finding solace in literature and physical transformation serving as bulwarks against depression, forging his path to resurgence.

  • The year 2022 marked a pivotal resurgence for ALIENANT. As the world emerged from its cocoon, so did the brand, reclaiming its throne with prestigious honors like the YU PRIZE and the YINGER PRIZE. Collaborations with global giants like UGG, Li-Ning, and ByteDance not only signified commercial triumph but also a synergy of shared visions. His creations, worn by icons like Coldplay, Austin Millz, and Nle Choppa, amplified ALIENANT’s global impact.

  • IteThe 2023 debut of 'Destroy and Restructure' heralded Yuchen's renaissance from a grueling four-year battle with depression, catapulting him into the limelight of the commercial world. By piecing together his ‘Glitch Puzzle’, the journey culminated in an epiphany, providing profound answers to his lifelong questions, and redefining his life's purpose– transforming personal resilience into a beacon for global global spiritual awakening and collective empowerment. 'Glitch' has since emerged as a 'Rift in Time', a portal to new realms of consciousness.

    Under Yuchen's visionary leadership, ALIENANT redefines the boundaries of fashion. It now stands as a key, a gateway, and the illuminating force of a movement towards spiritual awakening. As a trailblazer, it guides humanity towards an enlightened future by unveiling truths, reshaping not only the world of fashion but also the very world we inhabit.
