." This is actually the only display in Shanghai where you'll see some hot young boys," poked fun a pal at Ximon Lee, the final path discussion at the Shanghai selections. "You'll find attractive girls and classic Mandarin Tai Tai's [a colloquial term for a wealthy, married gal], those kinds of styles, however just right here you'll fume males!" The site for Lee's steamy train of smoke-shows was actually the smokier Shanghai club Heim, which resumed at a brand new site earlier this year. For the inexperienced, Lee is a Hong Kong-born, Berlin-based menswear designer who released his label in Brooklyn in 2014 after research studies at Parsons. He was shortlisted for the 2015 LVMH Prize and was actually the initial menswear designer to win the H&M Design Honor that exact same year. Lee has a decent allotment of well-earned standing, but eats years moved fairly discreetly, shrouded by the cavernous club lifestyle setting that has long notified his clothes.This compilation, Lee mentioned backstage, was actually freely encouraged due to the coming of age stories in the Oriental creed film Everything about Lily Chou Chou.

The after-party that observed the program happened in the exact same area: Between the techno faithfuls stomping in place where the makeshift runway had been actually earlier and the fashion crowd gathering outside to catch up at the tail-end of a lengthy as well as eventful time, it was an opportunity to testify to Lee's brand name of modern, rave-ready sexiness in full throttle..
