Tiffany Trump, the youngest daughter of the US president, is a fan of Chinese fashion designer Wang Tao and her fashion brand Taoray Wang.

Trump, along with her boyfriend Ross Mechanic and mother Marla Maples, sat in the front row on Saturday at the Taoray Wang show for New York Fashion Week.

"She's an amazing designer," Trump said backstage before the show, explaining that she became a fan of Shanghai-based Wang after a show in September last year.

Last month, she wore a white, custom-made double-breasted Taoray Wang coat to the inauguration of her father Donald Trump in Washington.

"The tailoring fits perfectly," Tiffany Trump said of Taoray Wang's lines. "Tao really takes pride in the details - the different designs she does inside the garment, not even on the outside."

"It was a surprise to me," Wang told China Daily.

Trump, 23, who has been a fan of the brand since she first attended Wang's show last September, ordered four sets of clothes from her, including the white coat.

"She never mentioned the inauguration ceremony. I learned about it the same time with the rest of the world when Tiffany showed up in that coat. She was stunning and very confident," said Wang.

The style was also featured on the runway on Saturday at Skylight Clarkson Studios in Manhattan in a gray pattern with bright pink lining.

"I made it white for Tiffany because that's one of her favorite colors," Wang said.

The show was Wang's sixth at New York Fashion Week.

After spending 14 years as creative director of Shanghai women's wear brand Broadcast: Bo, Wang debuted the Taoray Wang label in New York City in fall 2014. She has returned every season since.

Taoray Wang targets "powerful, professional and modern women who want to be stylish, elegant and sexy", the designer said.

Wang plans to open a Taoray Wang retail store in Manhattan this year.

Meanwhile, Trump said she is keen to see the work of more Chinese designers. "I've never been to China, but maybe one of these days, I would love to," she added.
