Friday, December 11 2020
Supporting emerging designers and promoting creativity inspired by Chinese culture and aesthetics remained a priority even during a pandemic year. But, this year, China Institute’s Fashion Design Competition introduced a sustainability component to promote socially conscious and environmentally friendly fashion. Eight students or recent graduates, many who have already undertaken international journeys to arrive at this point participated in the runway event, defying the limitations of lockdowns and lack of access to materials to produce a capsule collection that harmoniously blended their Chinese roots with their unique world views.
