Founded in 2014 by Yixi Chen, C2H4 – which stands for Ethylene, a chemical substance- gained popularity really quickly. The founder was born in Shanghai, China. At 17 she decided to move to LA for her theatre and film degree. After two years Chen dropped out to do something she really loved: design. Yixi Chen style has been influenced by a mix of American hip-hop with a Chinese background.
