Frankie Xie, at Jefen
Probably mainland China’s most famous designer, Frankie smiles after his own rather Madonna-themed show. In 2006, he was the first mainland Chinese designer to show his collections at Paris fashion week.
Much of it was a bit too risque for comfort, though I think it was aimed mainly at sexy risk-takers in the 35+ category.
The gowns were probably the highlight. See the entire collection on 163.
..wish Frankie can look as glamour as his designs. I would work on not slouching, and suck the belly in. Then it would have been a really stylistic photo of him. He’s got style and the look, now he just needs to carry himself better. “Beauty is from within.” I truly believes that. The clothes don’t make the person. It’s the other way around.
