Located in Xintiandi where the voice of youth thrives, Shanghai Fashion Week A/W 2019/2020 kicked off on March 27th and showcased a vigorous blend of designs from new Chinese talents like Susan Fang and Wanbing Huang. This season, show-goers expressed their distinctive use of culture and art by remixing eastern elements with modern chic. It’s refreshing to see how elegant women’s styles were represented in different looks such as a flowery blazer paired with a lace-trimmed cord skirt. The sweater trend was also spotted in versatile forms ranging from loose embroidered knitwear to vividly printed sweater-shirts. Besides global trends captured on and off the runways, the use of Chinese traditional iconography reminds us of the 21st-century zeitgeist: strength lies in difference.
Here are some selected street styles from stylish guests who attended Labelhood, which focuses on promoting independent Chinese designers.
