The latest collection by Huishan Zhang for Fall 2023 was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘femme fatale’. “It’s about creating a fantasy character who’s as dangerously seductive as she is confident in her own self. She’s empowered, disarming and in classic film noir form: razor sharp.” the designer said.
The show opened with a snippet from Bernard Hermann’s soundtrack to Hitch’s classic, Vertigo.
Zhang took a darker approach to his collection for Fall 2023. Noteworthy moments include midi dresses trimmed with the designers signature ostrich feathers, black ribbon details and 60’s silhouettes. One particular pink feathered dress stood out and offered a softer edge to the collection.

Zhang has been based in China for the last three years and this was the first time he was able to attend his own live show. “It feels fitting to have the show at The Londoner hotel—I can’t help but feel like it’s symbolic of my return to the city.”
