China doll ... Melissa Darmawan is painted in traditional Chinese dress


April 24, 2006

CALL it the great haul of China - with some of the world's biggest-spending fashion buyers arriving in Sydney today for Australian Fashion Week, the red hot money is expected to come from a powerful delegation of Chinese retailers.
As the Asian giant takes to capitalism with vigour, local fashion - like uranium and natural gas - appears set to be next on China's shopping list.

Franky Chic is poised to be the most powerful person in the front-row as Fashion Week takes to the catwalk this week, as he prepares to buy up big for department store chain MFG (Milion Fashion Group).

Championing Hong Kong designs until now, the retail chain, which also has stores in Milan, Moscow and Taiwan, has shown strong interest in Australian fashion labels.

"Australia appeals to them because of the price point. Much more affordable than European designs for example," IMG Fashion Asia Pacific international marketing director Jodi Pritchard said.

Austrade, the Federal Government's export promotion agency, will bring a record number of 27 buyers from China, who arrive on Wednesday morning, to AFW this year.

China, especially the city of Shanghai, is considered the hottest market for international fashion at the moment.

Luxury brands like Gucci, Chanel and Prada are rushing to set up shop in the newly-opened economy, where increased affluence has consumer spending sky-rocketing.

Austrade's chief economist Tim Harcourt said recent figures show China, currently our second biggest trading partner, is expected to become our largest export market in five to six years.

And Australian labels are not wasting any time, with no less than four designer shows this week taking inspiration (or flattering a few wallets, perhaps) from China.

International cosmetics giant, M.A.C will showcase its tribute to the Orient tonight, when 12 models will be body-painted in traditional Chinese dress.

I know a couple of the artists working on that tonight.

I'm so, so glad I'm having a quiet Fashion Week this year. Working shows that end before the sun goes down = bliss!

Heeeey, that's my av! Obviously I don't post enough.

Have fun and good luck to everyone at the Fashion show! I'm on the other side of Oz, no chance of getting there.
The MAC body paint artwork is fantastic!

Grace Lee, one of the senior artists here in Canada, painted the famous red chinese dress at the event in Shanghai, I think it was last year. I had the pleasure of having her in my class at the MAC update training last week. Wow! Talk about talent. I wonder if she is also working on this event.

that's some talent right there...

I wish MAC would open a free standing store in China. Did you guys know there's only one counter in the whole Chinese mainland? Thankfully it's in Beijing (where I live part time) but it's in this really crowded mall and I hate going there! If MAC opened a free-standing store I'd be
