Huishan Zhang RTW Fall 2023
After three years in China during the pandemic, Huishan Zhang landed in London with a bang. One of his first stops was Buckingham Palace, where he attended a Lunar New Year reception hosted by King Charles III.
It didn't stop there. Another British institution, Harrods, welcomes him back with a pop-up store that should open in April. It will be located on the first floor of Harrods and will store the main collection, as well as a modest special capsule that Zhang is creating for her Middle Eastern customers.
During his three years in China, the designer never stopped creating collections, presenting them in his London shop on Mount Street, and conduct interviews remotely. He has also built up a formidable private clientele and says he is overwhelmed with orders.
Some of these customers attended Friday's parade dressed as a flock of exotic birds in the clothes feathery, floaty, feminine designs.
For fall, Zhang took a darker turn, sending in a Hitchcock-inspired collection replete with early 60s glamour, and a harder edge.
There were elegant pencil dresses with long black ribbon details or pointed shoulders; scarves reminiscent of Tippi Hedren in "The Birds" and a sheer black lace dress with bell sleeves.
Later in the show, these slim, structured '60s silhouettes gave way to softer and more exuberant designs, such as a fuzzy magenta coat, a feathered pink dress and a grasshopper green dress with small fringes.
They were as cheerful as spring and should appeal to its herd of socialite fans and regulars alike. Red carpet.
