Get ready for Lucy’s latest adventure at Beijing Fashion Week, where tradition and trend collide in Zhang Kejia’s 'Lion' Spring/Summer 2026 collection. 🦁✨
Reporter Lucy Lv takes us backstage to witness how the powerful symbolism of the lion dance—a festival favorite from Chinese New Year celebrations—gets a modern makeover. Think sweeping capes inspired by lion manes, bold prints that echo classic red and gold motifs, and intricate embroidery that rivals the craftsmanship of traditional festival costumes.
Imagine the same buzz you feel during Holi color blasts in India or lantern festivals in Thailand—now on a runway in Beijing. Kejia blends theatrical layers with sleek silhouettes, creating pieces that feel both nostalgic and fresh. Each garment is a story of movement and identity, perfect for youth who love mixing heritage vibes with street-style edge.
On a fast-paced, Insta-ready runway, these designs prove that honoring your roots can be the coolest trend. Whether you’re snapping OOTD pics or just soaking in the creativity, Zhang Kejia’s 'Lion' collection is a masterclass in balancing past and present. Ready to let your fashion roar? 🦁💥
