Born in Beijing, Chi Zhang went to the UK to study at the young age of 16, pursuing a fashion master’s degree in Milan, Italy, at Istituto Marangoni. Chi Zhang works have been published in magazines such as Vogue China, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, L’Officiel Hommes, Esquire China ,Cosmopolitan, Grazia, Maire Claire, FEMINA, Figaro, Men’s Uno, Timeout, Vision, I Look.
Collection Inspiration: Inspired by the intersection of past and future, the starting point of the FW17 collection is the instinctive imagination of human beings. Like a child’s imagination is filled with endless possibilities of pretend, the concept and accomplishments of space travel can be as mythical, imaginative and infinite. Past and future eventually intersect in the spiral of Time and Chi hopes to inspire self-confidence, respect and love.
The Chinese designer created a swagger-infused men’s and women’s streetwear collection with a bondage influence — straps were a main accessory as they were wrapped around arms and torsos, often extending past the overly-long sleeves.
The party-like atmosphere showed the clothes in action, saturating them with the energy and life of the performance. Many of the looks were fit for downtown and to get down, consisting of leather, fur and PVC.
Strong graphics were also a main force in the collection, as many of the sweatshirts had Zhang’s “King’s Back” slogan or an image of a gas masked face on them. The gas mask is a recurring symbol for Zhang, as at least one model has worn one in his past two collections and several wore them in this collection.
The colors were mostly primary — red, yellow and blue, plus black and white. One look combined a tan furry sweatshirt-like top with a gas masked face on the front and red patent straps with solid red leggings and thigh-high clear PVC boots. The model wore a coordinating red baseball cap to finish the excessive yet cohesive look.

The event welcomed more than 2,400 guests during the course of the day and evening events including industry professionals and consumers at Chelsea Piers in NYC. Throughout the day over 400 varieties of top wines and spirits were shown –over 2,000 bottles were poured and upwards of 35,000 plates of mouthwatering bites from top kosher eateries were served. Kosher Food & Wine Experience is produced each year by Royal Wine, the leading producer, importer and distributor of kosher wines and spirits in the world.
According to Jay Buchsbaum, VP Marketing & Director of Wine Education at Royal Wine Corp.,
“Kosher wine is growing double the pace of general market wine consumption with an average price per bottle of $20+ due to growing consumer demand & industry accolades.
In particular, Israeli wines are very much in demand. Israel is the region with the strongest growth in the kosher wine world, hands down. And critics are taking note too– this past October the Wine Spectator featured a cover story on Israeli wines along with an impressive list of over 20 90+ rated wines.”
With Passover just around the corner (April 10-18, 2017), seasonal demand for kosher wines is already ramping up. KFWE has fulfilled its growing role as a key influencer in determining which wines will grace America’s Seder tables showing wines ranging in price from $6 to $250.”
