Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most business savvy of them all? (Of the Chinese that is.) Behind every great designer, at least when starting out that is, you will find one or more people with a great deal of cold hard cash; ‘tis a multi-billion dollar industry after all and perhaps the only one not suffering (too severely) from the latest stock descents-the word “cutback” has a different meaning in fashion. In November 2012, Forbes China came out with its list of the “25 most influential Chinese in global fashion [business].” Number one is Hong Kong-based Peter Chan, with his namesake tailoring company opened by his father in 1941 in Shanghai, moving to Hong Kong in 1948. Eddie Chen, who leads the popular Taiwanese shoe chain Daphne (not my kind of “high” heels, but at least-shall I say-“off” the ground), was granted a very respectable number two slot. At three we find Franz Chen from Taipei who owns the Franz Collection, strangely enough comprising of porcelain tableware and vases. (Hm, well, it IS design I suppose...)
