The rest of the world might not be aware, but China Fashion Week is going on right now, as we speak (well, as I type and you read). Immediately I was curious to see what kinds of clothes the designers were sending down the runway. The Chinese are known for being bold, innovative and a little crazy with their fashion. The Spring/Summer collections this year didn't disappoint.
A few designers really stood out to me. For example, Chen Junghong's collection felt like a couture, (much cooler) Hot Topic. The use of all red, lots of stars and even some upside down, collapsible laundry basket type shapes was pretty cool, and very unwearable.
In fact, pretty much everything looked unwearable to me. I just can't see any celebrity showing up at a red carpet event with a giant mattress skirt around her waist.
Other highlights of the big event include (but are not limited to), witch hats, nylon wrapped around the models' heads, plastic see through skirts and bulls eye nipples. Have you heard enough yet? In case you're not convinced that the Chinese fashion designers are cutting edge, what would you say to an outfit that looks like a Rubik's cube with eyes or a spider web inspired top, or even a model carrying a plastic alien blow up doll down the runway?
I'd say, I need to make plans to attend China Fashion Week next year. I might never wear any of their clothes, but seeing any of those outfits live would definitely make for a fascinating trip!
