At the dawn of the 21st century, all the world´s eyes are riveted on China as the ancient nation embarks on a path of unrivalled economic growth, unmatched modernization and phenomenal projects on a world-beating scale. While the entire West hurls itself towards China, anxious that it will miss the consumerist train as it finally pulls out of the platform, Shanghai Tang departs on a road leading the world towards a new design movement. Like all the major international brands, Shanghai Tang has flagship boutiques in the shopping capitals of the world. However, its message is unique and remarkable: Shanghai Tang creates luxurious, modern Chinese chic with themes deeply rooted in ancient and authentic Chinese culture, from calligraphy to The Silk Road to Chinese contemporary art. At its inception in 1994, Shanghai Tang´s Hong Kong boutique attracted over one million visitors. By the year 2000, store visits had surpassed four million. An Imperial Tailoring Service staffed by Shanghainese tailors offered a made-to-measure clothing service in the finest tradition of old-fashioned tailoring, with painstaking attention to detail, craftsmanship, luxurious fabrics and fit. Today, Shanghai Tang is the only Chinese luxury brand: the apogee of the Chinese Art of Living and Chinese Creativity. The product offer includes a full range of clothing for men, women and children, plus home furnishings, accessories and gifts. Shanghai Tang´s products are renowned for combining traditional Chinese design and motifs with tongue-in-cheek humor and a contemporary sensibility. The design mission is to revitalize Chinese innovation by interweaving it with the dynamism of the 21st century, producing a vibrant and witty take on the fusion concept. Shanghai Tang´s global network of boutiques includes Shanghai, New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong and Singapore, to name a few, offering discerning shoppers a big taste of the Shanghai Tang experience and lifestyle. The one-of-kind shopping experience at Shanghai Tang will entice all five senses and bring pleasure and most importantly, a sense of spontaneity to luxury shopping.
