One of China's top designers, Wang Yutao, has kicked off the nine day fashion feast that is China Fashion Week, and his 2012/2013 autumn/winter collection has been wowing the capital's fashionistas.

The winner of last year's Young Fashion Award, Wang Yutao, opened the show with creations from his Beautyberry label, following his return from Berlin last week.

Wang Yutao said, "This year's collection carries last year's British style. The colour is warmer and soft. I think most people will like it."

Having recently shown his creations at Berlin Fashion Week, Wang says he feels more confident.

Chinese actor Wang Xuebing attends the launching ceremony of the Mercedes-Benz China Fashion Week A/W 2012/2013 in Beijing, capital of China, March 24, 2012.

He hopes China Fashion Week will help more up and coming designers.

Wang said, "I hope that through this platform, talented designers can reach more people, and gain more opportunities."

China Fashion Week was launched in 1997. In the last 15 years, it's become a top-rated platform for fashion design, and a stage for promoting brands, displaying originality and broadcasting fashion trends.
