CENTRESTAGE 2020 Virtual Fashion Show + Best looks

CENTRESTAGE is a new digital fashion showcase that enabled designers and fashion brands to gain international attention and foster connections. The virtual showcase was held from September 17-19 2020, A series of six virtual runway shows featuring the latest collections from 40+ Hong Kong and Asian designers was premiered to a global audience on the digital platform . This digital platform also houses 240 designer labels and fashion brands. It brought a unique experience that helped fashionistas safely view trendy runway looks from the comfort of their own home. The virtual shows gave us an insight into what the fashion industry has to offer during the pandemic. My overall impressions of the show were that I was blown away by the talented designers. They created so many stories behind the designs and we saw a lot of trends coming off the runway. I was so excited to view this runway show with my friends and family. We discussed after the virtual shows how we loved each runway look and how the experience took us to another virtual world in fashion.

MEET BETTIE JIANG

My favorite designer from the Runway show is Bettie Jiang. Bettie Jiang is the founder of Bettie Haute Couture. Bettie Haute Couture is a fashion label that focuses on traditional craftsmanship and evocative expression of refined detail. Jiang graduated from London College of Fashion at the University of the Arts London with a degree in Fashion Design and Surface Textiles. Jiang worked at the fashion studio of the great Alexander McQueen and helped create the brand’s signature skull pattern. Jiang has a sense of appreciation for sustainability as the values behind her brand. She uses a combination of natural fiber and eco-friendly fabric in her designs.

One of my favorite trends from the runway was Bettie Haute Couture’s fixed print fabric dresses. These dresses are very versatile and you can get multiple wears out of this particular style. Jiang made sure that every dress had a story to tell, whether it was going out to eat with friends, attending a business meeting, or attending a date night these beautiful dresses are perfect for any occasion. The best part of the shows was the digital experience and the technology, I felt as if I had left my home and was sitting front row in a fashion show. Below are my favorite looks from Bettie Haute Couture. Let me know in the comments below which one was your favorite. I truly enjoyed looking at the digital presentations and can’t wait for next year’s presentation.
