Although fashion fixtures and A-list celebrities pack the front
rows at the biggest, most glamorous shows at fashion week, the most
creative attire is often found not on the catwalks or inside the
auditoriums but on the streets. Nowhere is this more evident than
in the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai, where a vintage Vivienne
Westwood frock pairs perfectly with a chic puffer, and neon brights
elevate distressed denim to veritable haute couture.
"Shanghai Street Style "marksthe inaugural volume in an exciting
new street style series from Intellect. With an array of
up-and-coming young designers like Coko Wan, Nio, and Helen Lee,
Shanghai is swiftly cementing its status as a global fashion
destination--its first fashion week was in 2011--and this book
brings together more than one hundred full-color photographs
showcasing the remarkable diversity of styles seen on its streets.
Alongside the photographs are short pieces of critical commentary
by Vicki Karaminas and Toni Johnson-Woods, shedding light on the
city's changing culture and how this is expressed through the
clothing choices of ordinary city-dwellers going about their daily
routines. The result is a stunning street-level look at the trends
shaping Shanghai's fascinating fashion scene, with interesting
echoes of East meets West and old meets new. Eye-catching,
entertaining, and informative, "Shanghai Street Style" gets at the
roots of Shanghai trendsetters' distinct personal styles,
identifying the ideas and important cultural forces behind the
trends.
