An academic activity this time is to attend the 2019 Global Fashion Management Conference at Paris, an international forum about Fashion Management and Marketing, hosted by GAMMA (Global Alliance of Marketing & Management Association).
Two joint shows of Aluna in Paris, when in 1999 accompanied with other selected Chinese fashion designers, while this time as the only designer represented China.
In Aluna, “Different national and cultural characteristics would present out unconsciously to construct the diverse cultures in the world. It might be that because of the typicality in my works, so the executive board invited me to here.”
Aluna brings a collection in strong colours that mainly in linen decorated with knitting. In the style of minimalism with contrasting colours, the work is Fruitful.
