.” This is the only receive Shanghai where you’ll find some popular young boys,” poked fun a good friend at Ximon Lee, the last path presentation at the Shanghai compilations. “You’ll find pretty girls and classic Chinese Tai Tai’s [an idiomatic condition for a wealthy, wedded woman], those sort of models, however only right here you’ll fume males!” The site for Lee’s steamy train of smoke-shows was actually the smokier Shanghai nightclub Heim, which reopened at a brand new site previously this year. For the uninitiated, Lee is actually a Hong Kong-born, Berlin-based menswear developer that released his tag in Brooklyn in 2014 after studies at Parsons.
He was actually shortlisted for the 2015 LVMH Award as well as was the first menswear developer to win the H&M Layout Award that very same year. Lee possesses a reasonable reveal of well-earned standing, but eats years moved reasonably discreetly, shrouded due to the roomy nightclub society setting that has actually long informed his clothes.This compilation, Lee pointed out backstage, was loosely inspired due to the ripening tales in the Oriental cult film All About Lily Chou Chou.

Lee had actually been actually showing his selection by means of lookbook as well as in display rooms. While it’s excellent to be capable to observe his work up close– do not let the barely-thereness of Lee’s garments fool you, he is actually fairly the ingenious specialized professional– these clothes are all greatest experienced in circumstance. The after-party that observed the series occurred in the same location: Between the techno faithfuls stomping in location where the makeshift path had actually been earlier and also the manner group event outside to mesmerize at the tail-end of a lengthy as well as active season, it was a possibility to testify to Lee’s company of city, rave-ready sexiness in full throttle..
