Wang Tao, a Chinese fashion designer, released her fall-winter 2019 collection in New York on February 9, the tenth time her brand, Taoray Wang, has been featured at the New York Fashion Week.
Sitting on the front row of the show were U. S. President Donald Trump's younger daughter Tiffany Trump with her mother Marla Maples, as well as former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Tiffany Trump, a fan of Taoray Wang, wore a white double-breasted coat by Wang to her father's inauguration(就职典礼)ceremony in January 2017.
Wang's latest collection, Eternity, is partly inspired by Tiffany Trump. In this collection, Wang combines the unconventional beauty of the 1970s, represented by famous American model Lauren Hutton and the female look favored by people such as Tiffany Trump.
The two women are from two different age groups with two different styles but both are confident and brave, said Wang while attending her show in Manhattan. "Beauty is not about time or age. It's all about attitude."
Along with China's growing economic strength, Chinese fashion has gradually gained worldwide attention, said Wang, adding that only when more and more foreigners wear clothes designed by Chinese people, will it mean a real rise of Chinese fashion on the global stage.
Wang has a diverse background. With a degree in history from East China Normal University in Shanghai, Wang got a second degree in fashion from Japan's top fashion institute Tokyo Mode Gakuen, where she received five international awards in design. She was selected by Junko Koshino—a well-known Japanese designer, to head the studio as the chief men's designer.
To realize her global career ambitions, Wang then left Japan to go to the UK where she worked as a leading designer. In 2002 she returned to China and led the repositioning of broadcast: bo, making it one of the top 10 Chinese women's labels. Wang is currently a board member of the Shanghai Ribo Fashion Group.
