Up-and-coming fashion designer Huishan Zhang showcased his Ready To Wear Fall 2017 collection, which took which took cues from French bohemian dressing, at Church House Westminster yesterday (February 20) as part of London Fashion Week (LFW).
The show, which was broadcast around the world via a live stream on the LFW website, took advantage of the venue’s spacious Assembly Hall, with models taking to a catwalk which circulated the entire room wearing a variety of beautifully worked lace dresses, graphic patterned knitwear and two piece ensembles.
Huishan has been a regular feature on the LFW Schedule, with celebrity supporters such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Keira Knightley, Helen Mirren, Amelia Dornan, Naomi Campbell and Samantha Cameron wearing his collections.
Huishan studied at the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. During his studies, he spent a year working in the House of Dior in Paris. Huishan has mapped out his signature style, finding inspiration and direction through his national identity. Creating a luxurious brand where Eastern heritage meets Western influences, his collections create a romantic, sophisticated and ageless philosophy with feminine details, strong lines and directional design.
