Young designer inspired by his powerful mother

Wen Haotian looks like many of his peers born in the 1990s: nerdy-chic glasses, white T-shirt, shorts and a backpack. However, the 23-year-old has an entire office of his own and a 20-person team working for him.

One of the most notable designers of his generation, Wen showed his 2015 autumn/winter collection in Beijing this month.

Themed as "A lifetime beauty", the show featured cocktail dresses with irregular neckline cuts and asymmetrical hemlines. Wool, silk and linen remain Wen's favorite fabrics. Structured woolen coats are embroidered with lilies. Silk and cotton are patched with reflective fabric for an edgier look. Black, blue and brown are dotted with white, orange and pink for lightness.
