We had a chance to discover the new collection of Huishan Zhang at Somerset House during Fashion Week. Huishan Zhang is a very followed creator these days as he’s one of the representative of the new Made in China. Born in Qingdao, China. Huishan is a fellow of Central Saint Martins. He worked for a year at Dior, but he directly launched his own label as he was a student.
The collection demonstrated a fusion between Asian influences in the forms of the outfits, meeting a very European 60s preppy attitude. But instead of diving into BCBG feelings, the designer offered a twist of impertinence: an asymmetrical motif here and there, a cheeky transparency on certain dresses, worn by the sublime Becca Horn.
Fashion observers should definitely spend some times discovering the talent of Huishan Zhang. You can also read Amber Atherton analysis, Emma’s one.
