Carabelle C
Carabelle, 1993, Malaysian born with Chinese ancestry. With a background in textiles and a degree rooted in craftsmanship, she has worked as an art director for fashion brands and once held her place in the world of luxury. Her journey through the world of aesthetics has never just been about beauty—it’s always been about building identity, legacy, and meaning through form and detail.
She is drawn to the women history nearly forgot—Wu Zetian, Elizabeth I, Roxelana Hürrem Sultan—not because they were loved, but because they were not meant to rule, and ruled anyway. These women were not born favorites; they were dismissed, underestimated, and even reviled. But they defied the narrative. They rewrote it. Like them, Carabelle does not dream of being chosen—she dreams of choosing herself.
To her, the tale of Hang Li Po is no fairytale. It is a map. A woman sent across seas, expected to disappear into marriage, instead became a symbol of diplomacy, endurance, and untold influence. Carabelle sees in her not just romance, but lessons: on how to love without losing oneself, how to build quietly in foreign ground, and how to rise, even when history isn’t watching.
She is an artist, a thinker, and a strategist. Carabelle does not seek the spotlight, yet the light finds her. She is not here to be remembered for beauty or sweetness alone. She is here to become a woman that shifts the story, that claims her space in legacy—and like the women before her, to rise with grace, ambition, and power in a world that never saw her coming.

张瑜芯，1993年出生，马来西亚华裔。就读于墨尔本理工大学。
她拥有纺织背景，并取得以工艺为核心的学位，曾担任多个时尚品牌的艺术总监，也一度活跃于奢侈品行业。
她在美学世界的旅程，从不止步于表面之美，而是致力于通过形式与细节，构建身份、传承意义。
她为那些几乎被历史遗忘的女性所吸引——武则天、伊丽莎白一世、苏丹后胡芮姆·罗克萨兰——并非因为她们被爱戴，而是因为她们原本不被允许掌权，却以自己的实力获得掌权的权利。她们不是天生的宠儿，曾被忽视、低估，甚至被憎恨。但她们打破了原有的叙事，重写了历史。正如她们，瑜芯从不渴望被选择——她渴望选择自己。
在她眼中，汉俪寳的故事不是童话，而是一张地图。一个被送往异国的明国公主，原本注定要在婚姻中被同化，却成为外交、坚韧与潜在影响力的象征。
从汉俪寳身上看到的不只是浪漫，而是启示：如何在不迷失自我的前提下去爱，如何在异地默默耕耘并建立根基，以及如何在历史无声之时依然崛起。
