.” This is actually the only show in Shanghai where you’ll find some in demand children,” joked a close friend at Ximon Lee, the final path presentation at the Shanghai assortments. “You’ll view pretty ladies and also traditional Mandarin Tai Tai’s [an idiomatic phrase for a prosperous, wedded gal], those type of styles, yet merely right here you’ll get hot males!” The site for Lee’s balmy procession of smoke-shows was actually the smokier Shanghai club Heim, which reopened at a new area previously this year. For the uninitiated, Lee is a Hong Kong-born, Berlin-based menswear developer who introduced his tag in Brooklyn in 2014 after studies at Parsons.
