Fashion Industry discussion, review, analysis, news, and information

One doesn’t read too much about Chinese fashion or the movers and shakers in the fashion industry - unless of course, you live in China.  Here in the U.S. we seem to equate China with “cheap labor”, so who knew that a man named David Tang existed?  At least I didn’t until I read this Washington Post article about him. 
It looks like David Tang, a Hong Kong fashion mogul, would like the Chinese to have their own identity when it comes to fashion.  After all, it is a country with over 1 billion people - you would think that they would have fashion designers with a more global presence.  Well, there is David Chu of Nautica and Vera Wang…but that’s all I can think of.  Considering that the average annual income of the Chinese is $1,000 (source), it’s no wonder that fashion isn’t a priority.  Perhaps David Tang could change all that with his next project?
