." This is the only receive Shanghai where you'll find some hot kids," poked fun a pal at Ximon Lee, the final path discussion at the Shanghai collections. "You'll find pretty ladies as well as classic Chinese Tai Tai's [an idiomatic term for an affluent, wedded woman], those sort of designs, yet merely listed here you'll fume males!" The place for Lee's humid procession of smoke-shows was actually the smokier Shanghai nightclub Heim, which resumed at a brand-new location earlier this year. For the unaware, Lee is a Hong Kong-born, Berlin-based menswear professional who launched his label in Brooklyn in 2014 after studies at Parsons. He was actually shortlisted for the 2015 LVMH Reward as well as was the first menswear professional to succeed the H&M Design Honor that very same year. Lee possesses a fair portion of well-earned authority, yet has for years relocated relatively discreetly, shrouded due to the roomy nightclub society setting that has actually long notified his clothes.This compilation, Lee mentioned backstage, was actually loosely encouraged due to the coming of age stories in the Japanese cult film All About Lily Chou Chou.

"This time has actually been actually testing yet it experienced relevant to accomplish a show since I desire to really feel happy," he claimed. Lee had actually been revealing his collection through lookbook as well as in showrooms. While it is actually great to become capable to observe his work up close-- don't let the barely-thereness of Lee's garments fool you, he's very the deft technical professional-- these garments are all ideal experienced in context. The after-party that adhered to the program happened in the very same site: Between the techno faithfuls stomping in place where the makeshift path had actually been earlier and the style crowd celebration outside to mesmerize at the tail-end of a long as well as memorable season, it was actually an odds to demonstrate to Lee's brand name of metropolitan, rave-ready eroticism completely throttle..
