Is 2015 the year of Asian fashion?
We discuss the good, bad and offensive moments in recent history.
Judging from this year’s line-up of fashion shows, parties and spring collections, 2015 is the year of celebrating Asia in the world of style. Last September, Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum announced their upcoming annual costume exhibition and gala would take on the theme China: Through the Looking Glass, showcasing the culture and its influence on and from the Western world. And last week Chanel announced it’s taking its super-luxe Cruise 2015 collection back to Asia on the very same day as the Met gala, this time to Asia’s rising fashion capital, Seoul, Korea. Being the up-and-coming centre for cool fashion trends and all things beauty, we can’t imagine a better fit for Karl Lagerfeld.
