(BEIJING, Sept. 27, 2017 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) The oldest of the "Big 4" Traditional Chinese Medicine brands, GuangYuYuan, will be making its global debut at Paris Fashion Week on 1 October 2017.
At an event organized by tech giant Tencent, during the finale of the biannual international "Big 4" fashion weeks, GuangYuYuan will sponsor an innovative runway show by up-and-coming Chinese designer Liu Qing, known as Big-King, in what will be his first Paris runway show.
Guo Jiaxue, Chairman of the Board of GuangYuYuan Chinese Herbal Medicine Co., Ltd. explained the motivation behind this unique collaboration: "Very few companies in the world boast a heritage as long as ours. For GuangYuYuan, the preservation of traditional culture and encouraging innovation are two pillars our company is built on. We are excited to see how Big-King is able to incorporate distinctly Chinese elements into his designs, as well as elements that reflect our own history of nearly 500 years."
The GuangYuYuan-sponsored show received special permission to be held in the magnificent Musee Jacquemart-Andre, the first runway Paris Fashion Week show ever held in the museum. GuangYuYuan will have highlights from its brand culture and design aesthetics on display during its Paris debut.
