Fashion Type and Model Personalities of China

Just like other Asian areas who are noted to have successful and promising fashion industries, China is also a proud home to a number of successful and famous personalities in the fashion world. The area's development in its fashion zone actually started even before the early 1900s. Until today, famous Chinese artists are continuously paving way to the advancement of the fashion zone of the country.

One of the foremost Chinese personalities that paved way to the development of the area's fashion zone was Ellery J. Chun. Highly acclaimed as the creator of the "Aloha Shirt", Chun was a graduate of Economics in Yale University. After he graduated, Chun returned home and administered his family's clothing boutique. He initiated the fashion of selling multicolored shirts, originally using pieces of kimono fabrics. Since his multicolored shirts became an instant fad among locals and foreigners, he apparently named them as "Aloha Shirts". Another well-regarded Chinese fashion personality was Anna Sui. Now well-regarded as one of the most famous international fashion designers in the zone, Sui honed her talents at the New York's Parsons School of Design and eventually in 1995, she established her first fashion house in New York. As for modeling personalities, the Chinese community was proud of Ling Tang, the first supermodel celebrity with Chinese ancestry. Tang became well-regarded for her modeling career with leading fashion designers and she was featured in numerous fashion magazines and product ads.
