The final series also featured fabrics like lace folded and overlapped to create puffy effects. Belts migrated from waists to necks, becoming more decorative than functional.
Billowing red, blue and green skirts, and jumping and swaying denim, added to the dramatic effect as the models presented the pieces onstage.
The show concluded with a performance of The Dragon Boat Tune, a Tujia folk song about a woman who wanted to cross the river during Spring Festival and the ferryman who took her to the far bank.
It was a final homage to the spirit of Hubei that took center stage at the fashion week's start.
