The new collection, made of natural materials including silk, linen, and long-staple cotton, also highlights Chinese hand-painting, dyeing and finishing, and embroidery.

The runway show featured pants and dresses of loose, relaxed silhouettes that evoke unrestrained, expressive Chinese xieyi (freehand brushwork) paintings and clean-cut jackets created using Western tailoring techniques. The designer hoped his garments could help present an image of Chinese women who possess both strength and gentleness.
