( http://eladies.sina.com.cn/fa/p/2008/0926/1750772342.shtml ).
"The positive press coverage in China following our debut in New York has reinforced OMNIALUO's status as a premium domestic brand," said Zheng Luo, CEO of OmniaLuo. "Since the high-end fashion scene is still developing in China, consumers look to the international arena for guidance. Being the first woman fashion designer from Mainland China to participate in a major event such as the New York Fashion Week enhances our credibility and helps us better position our brand in China."
On September 27, the 21st Century Business Herald, a leading Chinese economic newspaper, published an article written by its overseas reporter who attended the fashion show ( http://www.21cbh.com/HTML/2008/10/8/HTML_SVLYVU0PTPI8.html ). In the article, Rosemary Ponzo, a New York stage designer, was quoted saying that Zheng Luo's show was the best she had seen during the fashion week. "Strong" was the word used by a New York local fashion critic, Ron Gardener, to reflect his impression of the OmniaLuo runway show. He stated that the show reminded him of the old Shanghai, and Paris of the 1950's. An Indian businessman in the apparel industry, Arif Dagwood, thought Zheng Luo was a strong competitor to Anna Sui.
"I was uncertain before the show whether the American audience would appreciate my work," said Zheng Luo, the chief designer and CEO of OmniaLuo. "But I have since been assured by the enthusiasm of buyers."
