Paris, France – After a most noticeable absence from the January couture season, the Chinese couturier Laurence Xu, has finally returned to Paris with her new work for Fall Winter 2017/18. In it we find her creating with elegant silks, velvet, lace and silk tulle to create very beautiful and extraordinary work. She also is working with wools too for warmth.
Laurence Xu ‘s collection brings together Chinese tradition with the best of modern couture. Silhouettes and shapes familiar in Chinese couture are modernized to appeal to both Western tastes and to those of the modern Asian tastes. She embellishes her looks with ornate imageries and exquisite embroideries. Among the loveliest are the imageries created in white dove feathers. We also find extravagant peacock feathers and fur in some of the pieces.
Draping and the flowing materials also establish a wonderful opposition between the fluidity of the dresses and the structure of the jackets and coat dresses.
