国际英语资讯:Feature: Chinese designer Wang Tao seeks to revamp womens fashion attitude

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 -- For Chinese designer Wang Tao, attending the New York Fashion Week is not merely a gold-plating journey or an over-commercialized showcase in front of a crowd of buyers and influencers, but a center stage where she could truly set a global fashion trend.

Wang debuted her latest collection "eternity" on Saturday at Spring Studios, where 40 new looks embodying her signature note of sophisticated minimalism sent out a clear message: women can be feminine and powerful at the same time.

ATTITUDE SAYS IT ALL

"Beauty is all about attitude," said Wang, talking about her muses for the new collection.

Renowned American model Lauren Hutton, who rose to fame in the 1970s, symbolizes the handsome and unconventional beauty to Wang. The designer found Hutton especially attractive because the latter refused to narrow the gap between her teeth as others demanded.

"She is not afraid of being who she is and that to me is very beautiful," said Wang.

Inspired by Hutton's dressing style, Wang introduced wool hats and wide-leg pants to her collection.

Another inspiration came from U.S. President Donald Trump's younger daughter Tiffany, who has a totally different style and always looks feminine, sexy and bright, said Wang.

To add vibrancy to the otherwise rather professional looks for career women, Wang coupled asymmetric mini skirts with jackets. By accentuating high-waist cut and shorten the skirts, she creates a look that focuses on long legs and feels younger and sexy.
