Andre Kim to Hold Fashion Show in Beijing

Fashion designer Andre Kim will hold a fashion show next year in Beijing to mark the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Kim once again showed off his unrivaled fashion design skills at a recent show that was held in the Chinese city of Wuhsi at the invitation of the municipal government.

The renowned designer plans to hold a charity fashion show in China in early October to help Chinese teenagers.

But despite his vigorous activities in China, Kim says he has no plans to advance to China directly.

Kim says he feels rewarded because China has grown remarkably since his first show in that country in 1993 and because his shows instill Korean-Chinese with a sense of pride.

At the latest show, the designer showcased his outstanding works that were modeled by top stars, including singers Ivy and Sohn Ho-young and actress Park Sol-mi.

Kim checks every detail of preparations for his shows and even scolds models for their mistakes. He asked singer Ivy to forego the conventional catwalk to fully display her individuality through his costume.
