The design motif of stage is "Door" which infused both Chinese and Danish characteristic. The models walking in ECCO's SS14 new collections expressed the new trend combined romantic and elegance, tradition, and modern. The "doors" on the stage played as the bridge between east and west. Super models walked in ECCO SS14 new collections on the stage passing through one door and another. It seems like the west met with the east, the comfort combined with style by opening and closing each door. People can completely feel the free and comfortable wearing experience brought by ECCO shoes.
