China's
new First Lady, Peng Liyuan, has become something of a global style icon
on her first official state visit.
Peng
Liyuan, wife of the new Chinese president Xi Jinping, has become a surprise
style sensation with her native fashion bloggers and
style commentators around the world on her first official state
visit.
Disembarking from
her private plane in Moscow on Friday, Peng, 50, chose an elegant black
double-breasted belted coat and ladylike handbag by
Chinese fashion label Exception; a look which, teamed with her neatly pinned up
hair, fresh-faced make-up and understated accessories, wouldn't have
looked out of place in the front row at Paris Haute Couture Week. www.dopoosportswear.com
"First
ladies are ambassadors of the culture and the design and of the soft power of a
country. I'm glad that she chose to wear Chinese and take up that role of
spokesperson for Chinese design here," said Hong Huang, publisher of the
fashion magazine iLook and one of the most popular microbloggers in China.
"It's
the first time that China's first lady appears like a modern woman. I think she
dressed very well, with taste and confidence," said Zhang Yu, editor of
China's Vogue magazine. "After so many years, we finally have a first lady
who can represent us so appropriately. I think it is a landmark event."
Online
retailers have sought to associate their products with what news portals are
terming the "Peng Liyuan style," with searches for those key words
resulting in lists of handbags and trench coats, many of which did not even
resemble the items she wore.
