." This is the only show in Shanghai where you'll observe some trendy boys," poked fun a close friend at Ximon Lee, the final path discussion at the Shanghai assortments. "You'll see attractive gals as well as traditional Chinese Tai Tai's [an idiomatic phrase for a well-off, wedded lady], those type of versions, however merely listed here you'll fume men!" The location for Lee's steamy succession of smoke-shows was the smokier Shanghai club Heim, which resumed at a new location previously this year.

He was actually shortlisted for the 2015 LVMH Prize and also was the very first menswear designer to gain the H&M Design Honor that very same year. Lee has a decent reveal of well-earned clout, yet eats years moved pretty subtly, shrouded due to the spacious club lifestyle setting that has long notified his clothes.This selection, Lee said backstage, was actually freely motivated by the ripening tales in the Japanese cult movie Everything about Lily Chou Chou.
