21st Century China: Fashion

With everything going global and China being exposed to a lot more influences from the West...one thing is for sure, that the young generation of Chinese will be more open to the trends of Europe and the US. One area of global influence will be in fashion. New Chinese fashion designers (surprisingly most of them are educated in Western countries) are presenting their style which are heavily inspired by European fashion.

I personally think that if China's fashion industry will be steered in the right direction the country will be one of the major fashion capitals in Asia next to Japan and it also has a strong potential to be one of the world's fashion trendsetters making Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai its local fashion hubs.

Below are some pictures from Beijing Fashion Week held in 2010. Judge for yourselves how fast China's 21st century high fashion is taking shape.
