After an outstanding
showcase of her new collection Feb ’13 Merit Award winner Yifang Wang stopped
amidst a busy and frenzy backstage after show buzz to talk a little bit about
the show.
The collection was amazing,
how do you feel winning the Merit Award?
Thank you so much. I’m very honoured and proud to be showing
my collection.
Has Fashion Scout
London as a showcase inspired your work?
Yes, London is very inspiring because there is always a lot
happening here, and a lot of people so it is always busy.
What were your
inspirations behind the collection?
It's about religion, it's very spiritual and about the way
people are religious. I am looking at ritual experiences in people.
What’s next for you
and your brand?
I want to keep doing it, keep going and creating more.

Martyn Roberts, Fashion Scout's Director produced the Merit Award show and commented on the feel and atmosphere post-show:
“The music was wonderful –
very dark that had a good beat to it. So we really wanted to feed
into it and build up the models slowly but very powerfully. The
clothing speaks for itself. We don't need to do anything fancy or
over-stylised because the clothing is very simple, very clean, very
powerful. We had Vogue Italia, South China Morning Post and a lot of
other talent spotters here. She's an incredible designer, very
talented.”
