The 2000 China International Fashion Week2001/01/01
By Ren Guangping Twenty-five top Chinese fashion houses, and six foreign designers, showcased their latest creations at the mid-December 2000 China International Fashion Week. The event was a dazzling get-together of design talent, with no less than 30 fashion shows to keep critics and buyers at full stretch. Word is that many manufacturers received much larger orders than expected, though amounts have yet to be released. Best Designer and Model contests were also staged. As one exhausted fashion writer admitted: "I ran out of adjectives halfway through the week! But for me it was the best fashion event ever promoted in Beijing. Chinese designs are really coming on strongly, and production quality is much better these days. It has to be, because competition from overseas is intense." Many of the fashionshows were the 2001 spring/summer collections of top Chinese houses such as Mark Zhang, BOTAO, Tian Art and MARY MA. Italian designer Enrica Mecchia; French designers Jerome I'Huillier, Eric Bergere and Daniel Faret; and Singapore's Alfie Leong Wai Choog were among those who showed their newest designs. |
