Enjoyable and adorable.

More than a thousand young models showcased 1,202 pieces including skirts, dresses, gowns and suits from the brand's fall/winter 2018 collection with the theme of "Aurora." Some were even carrying a bunny doll.

Xu Xinyin is the founder and designer behind the label Vicky Zhang, which was inspired by and named after her daughter.
Xu is a graduate of the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. In 2015, she made headlines for being the first family-themed designer to present at China Fashion Week.

The designer also created quite a buzz at the New York Fashion Week in September 2016, with many "Mommy and Me" looks and "Daddy and Me" looks.
This show was presented on the last day of China Fashion Week. Initiated in 1997, the bi-annual style fest is a platform to cultivate and promote Chinese designers. The event also hosts professional contests, exhibitions, and forums.
