As the world is drastically globalizing, the forming of a local creative feature, the retaining and promoting of local culture in international context has become a central issue in modern designing scene. China’s modern fashion design has grown up from a phase of learning, assimilating and copying into a mature phase of fusing, reflecting and creation. The exhibition inspires us to review the path of growth of Chinese fashion design from the early exploration and seeking of self to the new voice in a world stage. Here you will experience a summary of important changes and developments of Chinese fashion design in the past 20 years from 1993 up to the present day.
