Giving dresses a digital twist

Audiences at China Fashion Week were recently treated to a show by rising star Mary Katrantzou. The designer talks of how she loves Chinese women's sense of style and what she is doing to tap the mainland market. Sun Yuanqing reports.

Though the China Fashion Week in Beijing has always evoked complaints about the very uneven quality of its runway shows, there have always been a few designers who have impressed audiences. And this time was no exception, with Beijing this week being wowed by Mary Katrantzou.

The London-based Greek designer, who has set the fashion world on fire with her talent in print and colors, was in town with her new collection thanks to the Mercedes-Benz International Designer Exchange Program, which also allowed Chinese designer Xiao Li to show at London Fashion Week in February.
