Surrounded by elaborate stage sets and stunning lights, the China Fashion Week Closing Ceremony gala, sponsored by the real estate project U-TOWN, was held at the Beijing Hotel last night with the charm and brilliance of hundreds of celebrities from the vogue, culture, and finance worlds.

At the same time, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of China Fashion Week, a public choice awards event was launched to select the Top 10 players of various categories in the Chinese fashion world.

From only 4 fashion collections in 1997 to over 30 today; from an annual event to the event for two seasons a year (Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter); from small participation of local fashion designers and companies to the wide involvement of overseas brands and designers, China Fashion Week has experienced an extraordinary decade.

In order to review the development of China Fashion Week and make it better serve the innovation of brands, industry, and fashion lifestyle in the future, its organizing committee and China Fashion Association decided to select the Top 10 meritorious entrepreneurs, Top 10 fashion designers, Top 10 fashion models, and Top 10 fashion institutes.

The awards organizers said they will be waiting for people's votes in coming months.
