Huishan Zhang Spring 2022 Ready-to-Wear

Huishan Zhang sees his spring collection as a postcard to his customers. “It says, ‘We’re missing you; it’s been a hard time, but there’s always something to find beauty in.” It comes from Italy by way of China, where Zhang has been since his fall 2020 show—and specifically the palatial Villa Arconati. Models moonlighting as well-travelled women having quite the fabulous time at the 17th-century palace are this season’s protagonists. They are, of course, much like Zhang’s loyal clients, the ones who demanded fashion frippery despite having little to RSVP to during the pandemic. “Huishan Zhang women all have a power and an elegance inside them; they love luxury, craftsmanship, and originality—and they really enjoy life,” shared the Dior-trained designer.
