China Hongshanshu - Designer wear for civil servants The Jiangsu-based label specializes in well-tailored suits, and it has been dressing the country's top civil servants. Its latest collection features light colored jackets, sweaters and loose-cut pants, suitable for both formal and informal wear. |

Tsai Meiyue - Sexy bridals Romantic big dresses are Taiwanese designer Tsai Meiyue's signature style, but in her latest wedding collection, there are neither laces nor white flowers. Instead, there are tight leggings and high-waisted skirts for the brides who want to flaunt their sex appeal. |
|
Deng Hao - qipao classics The designer, whose iconic Chinese style uses traditional elements, wows his fans once more with his China Red collection. Supermodel Lu Yan helps show off Deng's qipao-inspired updated one-piece gown. |
|
Alex Wang - remembering Stella, Blanche Wang's latest collection is inspired by the cult classic film based on Tennessee William's sad Southern play, A Streetcar Named Desire. Named Back to Basic, the collection sticks to the theme with uncompromising shades of black and white. |
|
VLOV - Wu Qingqing's 'flowing architecture' French fashion designer Pierre Balmain once said clothes were "flowing architecture" - a comment which literally inspired Xiamen-based designer Wu Qingqing. He combines classic elements in architecture into his collection: silver and gray, Gothic lines and Rococo patterns. |
