Ian Hylton, president of independent designer brand Ms MIN, has successfully grown the men’s label for the brand and played a key role in the launch of its Italian-made luxury line Ports 1961.

Hylton was born in Liverpool and grew up in Toronto. He debuted his career in the fashion industry with an internship at Ralph Lauren, before joining Club Monaco as a visual merchandiser, and then becoming the menswear fashion director for the Canadian department store Holt Renfrew. In 2005, he joined Ports international as vice president and creative director of menswear. The opportunity of working for a public company traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange also brought him to China, where he met his wife, Min Liu, the founder of Xiamen-based label Ms MIN.

In 2014, he decided to fully contribute his expertise of two decades to his wife’s brand and left the company to join Ms MIN as president. In 2020, after years of preparation, he launched the brand’s first-ever men’s wear line Xian Sheng, which means “mister” in Chinese. The capsule collection of 18 looks perfectly interpreted the brand’s oriental ideology with a modern, sleek occidental silhouette and cutting. Xian Sheng’s polished design also reflects his personal taste, which is admired by professionals and fashionistas across the world.
