Taiwan-born fashion designer Mei Hui Liu showcased designs featuring Union Jack flags and vintage lace in an east London exhibition on Monday, attracting many long-term fans. Liu, who left Taiwan in 1995 and has stayed mostly in Europe since then, opened a shop called Victim Fashion Street in East London in 2001 and has been invited to several major international fashion events. In her exhibition 'Union Jack Fairy Tale,' Liu used British flags from 1910-1920 and antique lace to create her latest fashion series. 'I love to collect antique flags and lace, ' Liu told the Central News Agency at the exhibition. 'I usually start to design after finding those materials.' She also insists on creating all of her designs by herself, and her uniqueness is making her collections increasingly popular in the U.K. 'Because my designs are unique and non-seasonal, many clients have stayed with me for more than 10 years,' Liu said. Award-winning Taiwanese fashion designer Johan Ku also endorsed Liu's consistency in style, saying she gave new life to the Victorian fabrics. 'Liu is very firm about her style, and those who love it have been following her, ' Ku said. 'That's why she was able to gain a foothold in the competitive London fashion industry.' Katharine S.Y. Chang, Taiwan's top representative stationed in London, praised Liu's design for its unique style and elegance. Chang said that after learning ballet when she was younger, she was impressed by the pettiskirt designs in Liu's collection. 'I hope I can have one skirt like that...they are truly exceptional,' she said. Hattie Morahan, an award-winning English actress, said she has been Liu's loyal customer since they met seven years ago. 'Sometimes I feel like I'm dressing myself with history (when I wear Liu's designs) 'said Morahan, whose performance in a TV adaptation of Jane Austen's novel 'Sense and Sensibility' won her Best Actress at the Shanghai Television Festival in 2008. Morahan also said that every time when she wears Liu's designs, people ask her about the designer and where they can buy the clothes. London-based band Maleficent's singer Maleficent Martini attended the exhibition wearing one of Liu's Union Jack skirts that she said she wore in her first music video. Martini said she had recommended Liu's collection -- via social websites Facebook and Twitter -- to many of her friends and fans since she bought Liu's collection four years ago.
