Andre Kim to hold 10th fashion show in China

Korea's top designer Andre Kim is to stage his 10th fashion show in China Thursday night in the southern Chinese city of Wuxi. The show is designed to celebrate the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 15th anniversary of Korea-China diplomatic ties, Kim said.

Under the title "Fantasy of Four Seasons", the 71-year-old designer will present his symbolic fashion that often delivers the message of everlasting love and romanticism at the International Textile & Fashion Megamall located in the heart of Wuxi, 160 kilometers west of Shanghai.

Wuxi is known as "Little Shanghai", experiencing rapid economic development, and is famed for its historic attractions.

Kim, famous for having star celebrities on his show, will have two Korean Wave stars, actors Park Sol-mi and Jo Hyun-jae, and also two K-pop singers, Sohn Ho-young and "IVY", as the show's main models. The designer will also have some 60 contestants of the 2007 Miss Korea, an annual beauty pageant, showcasing a total of 170 pieces from his fashion collection.

Kim has already given several shows in foreign countries including China, the United States and Egypt. He has recently gained popularity in China with his unique design featuring the eternal theme of love and fantasy.
