You might not know Christopher Bu, but you must have seen some of the dramatic looks he has created for Chinese actress Fan Bingbing, which made her a star on international red carpets.
His latest creation for her is the Forbidden City-inspired gown that she wore to the Met Gala in New York earlier this year. It put her on numerous best-dressed lists.
These signature looks have not only transformed Fan into a style icon, but also made Bu one of the best-known emerging designers in China.
Bu recently showed a new capsule collection in collaboration with Coca-Cola in a pop-up store in Galeries Lafayette Beijing.
The collection is dedicated to 100 years of the contour Coca-Cola bottle, a symbol of pop culture. It is also part of celebrations for the second anniversary of Galeries Lafayette Beijing, a one-stop shopping destination for both global luxury brands and indie Chinese designers.
The collection features dozens of jackets, skirts and dresses, all highlighting Bu's signature lively prints inspired by Coca-Cola's logos, shapes and palette.
