London Fashion Week has come to a fashionable end. The Complexd team made their final rounds on Tuesday and it was a collection by Chinese designer Ji Cheng who is inspired by her traditional Chinese culture that proved to be the most Complexd.  Showing in London at Vauxhall Fashion Scout for the first time, Ji Cheng’s aim was to expose the aesthetic of modern China to the International fashion industry. She presented her AW/2012 collection Zen Awakening which combined classic Chinese art with modern western techniques and tailoring.

The first and only hairless model to appear was wearing a fitted black halter dress, which bled at the hem and sashayed down the catwalk. Her slow pace, blank stare and simple dress showed a clear reference to the serene minds and lives of the monks that Ji Cheng was influenced by. Her design philosophy is a fusion of ‘Chinese chic with modern wit’ and this was evident when she teamed lose silk blouses with kimono wrap dresses, skirts and trousers, adding hints of fluorescent green and pure vermillion.

‘Ji Cheng founded her label, La vie by Ji Cheng in 2002, a fashion and lifestyle brand that combines the essence of Chinese sophistication with contemporary tailoring. The brand resonates with the growing population of young, independent women’
