Designer Feng Chen Wang has been named Visionary of the Year at the New Wave Talent Awards, held during Shanghai Fashion Week. The competition required six finalists to present installations alongside their collections; Feng Chen created a pop-up in a 1908 redbrick building near the Bund, showcasing plant-dyed cotton pieces and a bamboo bag. A Royal College of Art graduate, she divides her time between the UK and Shanghai. The second-place Future Force Award went to Motoguo; third-place Public Impact Award to Chén Sifān. Feng Chen received 300,000 RMB ($41,379), with Dior and Moncler supporting the awards.
