Wu Di Fall 2012

Wu Di Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. Native of Liao Ning providence of China, Wu Di took her inspiration from the work of printmaker Aaron Coleman and his use of geometric shapes. In her collection, she richly embedded angular silhouettes and geometric patterns by using cashmere knits and double-face wool. The mesh of soft ivory and camel colors and more subdued gray and black made the bold crossover patterns to attention.

Jade Juanyu Liu Fall 2012

Jade Juanyu Liu Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. A native of Shanghai, Jade took her inspiration from her collection by French collage artist Damien Blottiere, who had an innovative layering technique that creates shadows and empty space. I especially liked her quartz bonded microfiber top and skirt, which made fashion effortlessly easy and chic.

She took inspiration from a borrowed-from-the-boys feel, but adding the femininity by using soft, luxurious metallic fabric. Black and navy color dominated Deanna’s collection creating a midnight sensation.

Donghyuk Dan Kim Fall 2012


Donghyuk Dan Kim Fall 2012 collection at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion week. Originally from South Korea, Donghyun has a background in chemical engineering and pattern design. In his men’s collection, Donghyun took his audience off-guard by his bold vintage military uniforms inspired by the American West. His designs including tobacco oilcloth cotton shirt and olive wool gabardine/brown leather jacket made a dashing counterstatement to the belief that guys have to be metro to be fashionable.
