Jing Daily regularly spotlights some of China’s up-and-coming young designers, from Beijing’s Vega Zaishi Wang to Shanghai’s Jenny Ji, and now it seems that interest in Chinese designers is spreading in major fashion hubs like New York. This week, Women’s Wear Daily reports, Nicola Formichetti — best known as Lady Gaga’s stylist — along with the Chinese video artist Yi Zhou (previously on Jing Daily) and the Chinese media group Modern Weekly, will launch a pop-up exhibition of work by nine young Chinese designers in New York’s Tribeca, bringing Chinese fashion to a wider audience.

The “Nicola’s” pop-up, located at 50 Walker Street, will open through September 22.
