Besides her signature elegant and romantic wedding gowns, the designer also brought some young and fresh looks to the fallwinter 2018 collection. Take a look.

Short wedding dresses completed with sneakers and baseball caps. Lan Yu's new collection offers some fresh and young looks for brides who want something alternative. The fallwinter 2018 collection also maintains the designer's romanticism and highlights femininity, by combining Chinese aesthetics with western designs. The designer took advantage of colors like pearl white, light blue and pale pink, highlighting a delicate look in her collection. The iconic laces, sparkling sequins and pearl decorations create a dazzling and glamourous feel.

LAN YU FASHION DESIGNER "The fallwinter 2018 collection is set to the theme of Rainbow, which represents love and everything beautiful. When a girl falls in love, it's like seeing the rainbow after the rain. It's rare but amazingly beautiful. I hope people who wear my wedding dresses can feel the beauty and preciousness."

To help her present the runway show, Lan Yu also invited a stylist from the US, who praised the designer's creations as dream wedding gowns.

Lan Yu, known for fusing traditional Chinese artisanship and a modern perspective, is now one of the leading figures among China's new generation of designers. Her designs have also been recognized at the Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week.

LAN YU FASHION DESIGNER "I'm happy to bring our cultural influence to a global audience in Paris and New York. But I believe that it does not matter where you showcase your designs. What matters is that a designer should develop his or her own style and stick to it. Only in this way can you be recognized by more people."

The 31-year-old designer started her namesake brand "LanYu" in 2005, which has developed lines in wedding dresses, ready-to-wear clothing and accessories.
