AsianInNY is helping China Institute’s Fashion Gala 2017. Come join us!
Sunday, May 7, 2017
5:00PM Cocktails; 6:00PM Dinner
Location: Tribeca Three Sixty, 10 Desbrosses Street, New York, NY 10013

China Institute and the China Beauty Charity Fund have partnered to present “China Fashion Gala 2017”.

The event will be held on May 7th at Tribeca Three Sixty in New York City and feature cocktails, a full length haute couture fashion show by Chinese fashion designer Lan Yu, and a twilight dinner.

The mission of the Gala is to return the spotlight to China’s inimitable influence in the realm of style. While the aesthetics of Chinese design have influenced the West for millennia, in recent years, China’s fashion legacy has been overshadowed by its unparalleled manufacturing expertise.

The objectives of the China Fashion Gala are to:
· showcase creativity inspired by China
· raise funds to support talented emerging designers
· recognize individuals whose outstanding contributions have helped position Chinese design and aesthetics at the forefront of fashion on a global scale

The China Fashion Gala will benefit China Institute’s new Fashion Initiative and Fashion Design Competition Award, as well as the China Beauty Charity Fund Scholarship at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

This year, we are thrilled to be honoring Chinese fashion photographer Chen Man and legendary model Carmen Dell’Orefice. The centerpiece of the Gala is a full length haute couture fashion show by Chinese fashion designer Lan Yu. Lan Yu is one of China’s new generation of designers and is regarded as one of Asia’s most influential designers. Her design aspect is combining traditional Chinese Suzhou embroidery with haute couture. She uses her designs as tools to introduce oriental culture to the world. She is also the first Chinese designer that was invited to Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week in 2014. In 2016, she was invited to New York Fashion Week to launch her first ready-to-wear collection. She launches 2 haute couture collections and 2 ready-to-wear collections each year. Lan Yu is named “The Chinese Queen of Couture Wedding Dresses” by Chinese media.
