Rise of Chinese fashion

As 2018 marks the 40th year of China's reform and opening-up, China's fashion industry has seen a great rise in the past four decades.

Apart from high fashion, or haute couture, more young Chinese designers have creative works that combine traditional culture and modern art, including Angel Chen, Chen Peng and Zhang Huishan.

They and their works appear more often on the international runway, about 45 Chinese designers have shown their works in the four major fashion weeks.
