FROM CHINA WITH LOVE highlights the dynamic energy coursing through the Chinese society today. By re-interpreting the ancient civilisation’s grand traditions, Shanghai Tang presents a new sense of modern luxury.
Proud of its Chinese identity, Shanghai Tang is both grounded in the rich traditions of China’s past and inspired by its exciting future. The new women’s wear, men’s wear and fine accessories collections offer contemporary pieces with subtle references to the latest trends and bespoke-quality details.
Accessories for Autumn/Winter 2011 are bright, embellished, and sophisticated. New details offer twists on classic designs as seen in the beaded “Phoenix” Fan clutch and the “Knot” clutch in python. The iconic “Mongolian” Hobo shape returns in new colours as well as in luxurious shearling. Graphic prints also add a unique touch to footwear, from a distinctively Chinese twist on boots, to embellished stilettos. This season’s accessories are also adorned with Chinese knots, tassels, and braids. Matte, hammered metals, 3-D leather embossing, exotic skins and vibrant jade embellishments bring light and glamour to wintry tones. Silk scarves and cashmere shawls come in a variety of brilliant hues and striking patterns such as the “Phoenix Tattoo” jacquard and the “Phoenix” print. Coordinating, complementing bangles and rings feature intricate cut-out patterns while cuffs and pendants come in bold enamel patterns.
Since its inception in 1994, Shanghai Tang has been the pioneering luxury lifestyle brand from China. With its mission as the global ambassador of contemporary Chinese Chic, Shanghai Tang interprets Chinese culture and craftsmanship with vibrant sophistication. Offering ready-to-wear for women, men and children, as well as accessories and home ware, Shanghai Tang supports an international network of 45 boutiques in the world’s most prestigious shopping districts.
