The annual China Fashion Week kicks off with the new NE TIGER collection.
The show hints at traditional Chinese fashion. The Designer says the collection is inspired by the styles of the Ming dynasty, some 600 years ago.
The collection mainly features women's formal attire. And there is also a series of wedding dresses showcased on the runway.
"I try to revive the old traditions and blend it into modern day fashion. Red and gold are the major colors, symbolizing joy and fortune. And I also use some traditional materials," said Zhang Zhifeng, fashion designer.

In total, there will be 66 shows, a record high for the event, making it the largest fashion week in the Asia-Pacific area. The fashion week adheres to the home status of Chinese designers, but also invites international designers to join in.
China Fashion Week runs until November 2. There are 88 brands and institutions from home and abroad participating in the week. 83 domestic and overseas designers will launch 63 collections, and about 110 promising designers will take part in three professional contests.
