DESIGNER NAME: Huishan Zhang

BACKGROUND: Born in Qingdao, China. Huishan is a graduate of Central Saint Martins. During his time studying, he worked for a year at Dior, including six months in the couture atelier. He founded his label upon graduation.

SIGNATURES: “Chinese tradition meets Western influence and modernity.”

TRADEMARK PIECE: “The cheongsam dress is a recurring piece in my collections. I think it embodies everything that is sexy and feminine about the Chinese culture and tradition, yet it remains very adaptable to Western society and easy to embellish with a modern twist each season.”

IDEAL CLIENT: “Confident, feminine, cultured and elegant... Maggie Chung!”

THE COLLECTION: “I have drawn inspiration from culture and the way it influences how people dress in the West and the East.”

CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “Contemporary art is an important element for me. It reflects what I experience at the time. It represents what is modern.”

PLANS FOR 2013: “Move forward.”
