In the mid-1990s, a fashion show entitled “From the Barbarous Wildness to the Modern Era” stirred the T-stage in Beijing.
    The show featuring the traditional costumes of Chinese ethnic minorities was presented by Wei Ronghui, a woman from a remote Miao village in Guizhou Province.
    It was the first time for the world to see the brilliance of the traditional costumes of Chinese minority people in a modern design. Not only did she win great fame throughout the world but also won a United Nations award.
    Twenty years ago, Wei, who majored in philosophy at university, went a different road after graduation-to become a fashion designer.
    With her great passion for the costumes of ethnic minorities, she has mingled at the core of 56 nationalities in the country in technique, colour, pattern and fabric. In the meantime, she has also combined them with international fashion trends. Each of her creations appears not only as an exquisite art piece, but is also suitable for daily use.
