MODE SUISSE IN BEIJING, MODE SUISSE SELECTION AT ZURICH’S OPIA
Mode Suisse in Beijing, Monday, 15th May
Last week, Mode Suisse presented it’s protégés Julian Zigerli, YVY, WUETHRICHFUERST, and HEAD – Genève with their students Mikael Vilchez and Pamina Meyer at a fashion show directed and produced by Yannick Aellen and Nicolas Eberhart. Legendary St Gallen fashion house, Akris, featured as special guest at the event held at the Swiss Embassy in Beijing. Following the successful edition in 2015, the Swiss ambassador to China, Jean-Jacques de Dardel, wished to promote and celebrate Swiss – and Chinese – fashion again by inviting Mode Suisse to show at the embassy compound in China for a second time. Monday’s show took place on the occasion of the official visit to China of Swiss Federal President Doris Leuthard. Over 1’000 guests including buyers, media and politicians, enjoyed the open air show and garden exhibition, which also included the Chinese designers PRONOUNCE, Roderic Wang, Wang Changrong and Octo Cheung. The four were selected by the curator of the embassy’s garden exhibition, Ms Mary Ma, founder of Textile Library, the material design and research centre based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.
