Timeless and classic pieces in Julian Chang's collection at the 15th annual Miami Beach International Fashion Week

On March 20, designer Julian Chang showcased at the 15th annual Miami Beach International Fashion Week at the Miami Beach Convention Center. This year, the event was the center of attraction for all fashionistas with the arrival of more than 60 designers, who presented their exclusive designs and over 100 celebrity guests in attendance. Chang received the Humanitarian Award on the opening night.

"The collection was inspired by a French girl who moved to Miami, she wants to continue with her glamour and own fashion but at the same time she is been influenced by the sexiness of Miami," says Chang. "There was a canvas of black and white with splashes of magenta and royal blues - the silhouettes were classic and timeless," he adds.
