pan yiliang, the design director of the hong tai brand, is one of the few fashion designers in the world who focuses on knitting. with his love and pursuit of knitting, he is good at using simple lines and the drape and stretch characteristics of knitting to outline perfect curves, so that the gentleness of cashmere can be released more. his unique knitting art not only shows the infinite possibilities of clothing design, but also sets an example in the global fashion industry for interpreting advanced aesthetics with knitting language, making each piece of hong tai's 2025 spring and summer haute couture series a perfect blend of gentleness and strength, leading the new trend of knitting fashion.

the fabrics in this series are all made of yulin cashmere from shaanxi. yulin is located in the golden zone of 38 degrees north latitude on the earth. it is famous for its excellent cashmere goat breeding environment and is the leading place in the country's cashmere goat production and cashmere output. its cashmere is known as "soft gold" because of its ultra-long and ultra-fine quality, accounting for one-tenth of the country's cashmere production. hongtai's 2025 spring and summer haute couture series selects yulin cashmere as fabric, which not only demonstrates the brand's insistence on high-quality raw materials, but also reflects the support and inheritance of china's traditional high-quality cashmere industry.

the exquisite shoes on the show all come from clarks, a century-old british brand founded in 1825. among them, the most popular british series magfeet shoes are exclusively customized for the chinese market. this shoe uses a shoe last designed specifically for asian feet, combined with the round-toed modern aesthetics of derby shoes, to create a spacious and comfortable wearing experience. the thickened sole modifies the leg shape from the ankle, and the dynamic wave pattern design on the outside of the sole is eye-catching and has a three-dimensional sense of layering.

in addition, with the appointment of popular designer martine rose as clarks' guest creative director, her capsule collection has been launched. this collection cleverly incorporates exaggerated creativity into shoe design, and each new product strives to break through the boundaries of traditional style while maintaining excellent comfort. under the soft appearance, the comfortable texture is always emphasized, allowing the wearer to feel unprecedented freedom and comfort in every step.

this season's show design exquisitely captures the profound inspiration of "the gate of time", which perfectly matches the theme of the show "traces of time and space". through the carefully planned sound, light and electricity effects, every detail seems to be caressed by time, and the light flows leisurely in the space, outlining the trajectory of time and leading the audience into an immersive journey through time and space, like a dream.

with the power of electro-optical technology, the show added a touch of sci-fi and fantasy. the seamless integration of led screen and holographic projection technology not only blurred the boundary between virtual and reality, but also presented a stunning visual feast.

in today's ever-changing fashion trends, art always demonstrates the exquisite skills of craftsmen and continues the elegance and timeless genes of the travelers. fashion design shows artistic emotions through ready-made clothes, and each wearer can give it a unique aura. this fashion feast that combines the beauty of nature, the ingenuity of intangible cultural heritage and modern knitting skills marks another milestone for chinese cashmere brands on the international fashion stage. this cooperation is not only a brave exploration of the boundaries between tradition and modernity, and between eastern and western aesthetics by hong tai and pan yiliang, but also a joint declaration of in-depth exploration and innovation of cashmere art.

hongtai will continue to lead the new trend of knitting fashion with its ingenious designs, making each piece a classic that transcends time and space.
