." This is the only receive Shanghai where you'll view some trendy young boys," joked a pal at Ximon Lee, the final path presentation at the Shanghai selections. "You'll find beautiful girls and timeless Mandarin Tai Tai's [a colloquial condition for a well-off, wedded girl], those sort of versions, however just listed here you'll get hot males!" The venue for Lee's steamy train of smoke-shows was actually the smokier Shanghai club Heim, which reopened at a brand new place earlier this year. For the uninitiated, Lee is a Hong Kong-born, Berlin-based menswear professional that introduced his label in Brooklyn in 2014 after studies at Parsons.
