Luxury labels are flocking to Asia, and China especially, a key
market for the industry, while rising inflation cools appetite
for high-end fashion in the United States and Europe.
Fans gathered before the show-- some on boats -- angling to see
celebrities like Chinese actor Dylan Wang and Hong Kong boy band
Mirror, as a traditional wooden junk boat floated nearby, its
sails lit up with Louis Vuitton monograms.
Ukulele players in t-shirts kicked off the show, playing music
composed by Williams, American rapper Swae Lee and Puerto Rican
reggaeton singer Rauw Alejandro.
Models marched down the Avenue of Stars -- covered in sand --
parading relaxed, tailored looks evoking sailor uniforms, breezy
Hawaiian shirts and varsity jackets with prominent shell motifs.
Williams, 50, famous for pop hits "Happy" and "Blurred Lines,"
generated considerable buzz with his first runway show for the
label – the world’s biggest – in Paris in June, performing on
the Pont Neuf with Jay-Z.
