China Fashion Week Awards Ceremony: Li Xiaoyan Gets Gold!

Last night, Ms. Li Xiaoyan (李小燕) received the 2009 (for SS ’10 collections) gold prize for the best collection. This award is presented by the organizations that organized this, the thirteenth China Fashion Week. Learn more (in Chinese) on Yoka and Sina. View the award winning collection here at Yoka.

I met Ms. Li, originally from Taipei, after her show and she was nice enough to present me with the scarf she was then wearing, which is also part of the award-winning collection. This nice souvenir made up for the fact that my press ID was confiscated later that night because it was actually registered in my subordinates’ name.

Guo Pei (scroll down) received the award for the best woman’s collection and Cabeen got it for men.
