The China International Fashion week is in full swing, with designers and models congregating at the 751 D-Park in the city's northeast.

Renowned Chinese designer Wang Yutao presented his latest menswear collection. Shiny fabrics were used on the collars, shorts, suits and vests. The sweaters used synthetic fibers and wool was used on jackets to highlight an sense of modest luxury.
The collection aims to portray the optimism of aspiring young men and their pursuit for the natural and the authentic.

"This collection is inspired by the fashion of the 1960s, there is an element of elegance but also of rebelliousness here. These two themes run throughout the collection," Wang said.

The womenswear focuses on integrating oriental elements with simple modern designs. The red, white, black, and light blue portray the unique beauty of Asian women. The lifted waistlines highlight the slim frames of the models and give an aura of elegance and mystery.

"Chinese architectural elements are included in my collection. One example is designs that resemble window carvings. I use wool and silk as the primary material, so it's very comfortable to wear," said designer Ling Huiqing.

The China International Fashion week was conceived in 1997 and is now one of the country's most important fashion platforms.

The event will run until Sunday.
