Focus Taiwan featured six up and coming fashion designers from Taiwan during the S/S 2012 Spring collections of New York Fashion Week. The designers---some educated at the top design schools ...all showed three looks apiece that were of the highest quality of workmanship.
The looks varied---but were all very feminine elegant-an Asian aesthetic fused with western wearbility---not hard edge trendy that would look good on only a few.
We got a few pics backstage prior to the presentation...credits include Nails by Pattie Yankee for Dashing Diva, MAC Cosmetics and Hair by the Vince Smith Hair Experience.
Free East is designed by sisters Annie and Jojo Lai...
