Whether it's a black and white dress with coral ornaments, a pink dress with a wave zipper as its theme, or a simple white shirt with no design details, a casual wear suit or a cashmere wool cardigan, is the choice of a female star to attend the event, and also a hot selling product for many high-end shopping malls.

Lin Nengping was born in a traditional Chinese family. When he was one year old, he immigrated to the United States with his parents.

Perhaps because his mother worked as a sewing worker in a factory, he grew up in California. He seems to be very sensitive to clothes.

"I probably asked my mother to buy clothes for me when I was six or seven years old, or to help me change my clothes according to my request.

I also like to go to the handmade clothing store or the antique clothing market Taobao. "

When he was in college, Lin chose his business school according to his parents' wishes, but this did not seem to affect his interest in fashion.

Before graduating from college, Lin Nen Ping served as assistant to a famous designer office in the United States, and later co founded Development clothing brand with his friends.

In the autumn of 2005, Lin Nengping, 31, co founded the 3.1 brand of Phillip 3.1 with the 31 year old Chinese Zhou Xuanwen. The 3.1 of the brand names was to mark the age of 31 at the same age. Lin Nengping was responsible for creative design.

In the 5 years after that, Lin Nengping, a professional designer, took his own brand, Phillip, and won the CFDA Foundation Award, known as "fashion Oscar," and was the editor in chief of the fashion Bible vogue.

As the founder of the independent brand, Lin Nengping, a business major, has been successfully published in Fortune magazine's list of young talents under 40 years old, making him one of the 3 Chinese in the list.

Half a month ago, Lin Nengping held a unique show on the ancient city wall of Beijing to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the brand.

This is the first time that a new generation of Chinese American designers has come back to China to make a show.

"I like Beijing. This city is very natural.

Maybe it's a cultural accumulation. It makes you feel like a Chinese. "

Lin Nengping said, "I have a dragon on my back. I can hardly say that I am more Chinese."

In clothing design, Lin can not forget to inject Chinese elements.

However, unlike many overseas Chinese designers who advocate traditional Chinese clothing, the new designer emphasizes more modern China in his design.

Lin Nengping said, "I think the Chinese style we interpret is the Chinese style of globalization. It belongs to modern China. What I want to express is not what the eyes can see, but what can be felt. This is China's culture and the world's China."
