Yang Du
33-year-old Yang Du was another Chinese designer present at this year's Paris Fashion Week. After participating in London Fashion Week's
New Generation Showcase for the past two seasons, Du made the leap to Paris where her catwalk show was part of the On/Off Showcase, which supports young designers. Du, who lives in London, also creates a line for the Hong Kong boutique,
Joyce.
Uma Wang
Uma Wang is arguably the biggest name in Chinese fashion right now. She's shown her collection in Milan and Paris, and
according to WWD, is on track to be the first major name to emerge in Chinese Fashion.
