Chinese designers have been making a splash across every pond this year. From Xie Feng for Jefen and Liu Fang in September’s Paris Fashion Week, to anime-listic Yang Du and Huishan Zhang in London earlier this year, global fashion editors were impressed with the fresh winds of creativity blowing through the backstage (sometimes admittedly somewhat wacky or way out there) collections. Uma Wang, Liang Zi, Bao Bao Wan, all hear the increasingly louder call of international catwalks. Another newcomer, Wang Yutao, became the first Chinese designer ever to show at Berlin fashion Week last March. As Giorgio Armani, who I -- together with many others I presume -- spotted sanbu-ing (散步) around Houhai lake earlier this year, told Luxx magazine: “I am sure Mainland China will produce a designer who shows in London, Paris and Milan. I'm just not sure when." The aforementioned might just be well on their way. Let’s wait and see.
