The American fashion designer will be presented with the Chevalier of France’s National Order of the Legion of Honour, the country’s highest recognition by Gerard Araud, France’s ambassador to the United States, at a ceremony on 28 February.

Wang cites her recognition as partly down to a fashion career that was in its own way shaped by an obsession with French culture.
The designer also has decided not to showcase at New York Fashion Week, while she will be unveiling her fall collection via a short film, which will pay homage to the culture and city of Paris during feb’17..

Previous recipients of honour from the fashion industry include Alber Elbaz, Paul Smith and France’s own Sonia Rykiel, who passed away in August
