." This is actually the only display in Shanghai where you'll see some in demand children," poked fun a friend at Ximon Lee, the final path presentation at the Shanghai selections. "You'll see appealing gals as well as traditional Chinese Tai Tai's [a colloquial term for a rich, married girl], those kinds of styles, but merely right here you'll get hot males!" The location for Lee's steamy succession of smoke-shows was the smokier Shanghai club Heim, which reopened at a new place earlier this year. For the unaware, Lee is a Hong Kong-born, Berlin-based menswear professional who introduced his tag in Brooklyn in 2014 after studies at Parsons. He was actually nominated for the 2015 LVMH Award and also was actually the first menswear professional to win the H&M Design Honor that very same year. Lee has a decent allotment of well-earned standing, but has for years relocated fairly discreetly, shrouded due to the spacious club culture environment that has actually long informed his clothes.This compilation, Lee mentioned backstage, was actually freely encouraged due to the maturing stories in the Eastern cult film Everything about Lily Chou Chou. He ruminated on the concept of individual alteration, and also appeared to welcome the stress of being young-- sensation invincible, establishing a feeling of nostalgia, the pressure of ability-- by building a compilation that predicted some charming awkwardness.If none of this sounds specifically alluring or even like an outfit ripe for a really good gathering, it is actually because Lee's major obsession isn't magnetism, and also neither is the nightclub. Some factors happen naturally, though, so his plan had plenty of saucy and without a doubt great menswear styles: small shorts, one-shoulder covered leadings or even embellished container tops, lustrous shirting, and also a pair of satiny undershorts that a fellow attendee reported attribute an integrated jockstrap. A run of unfamiliar and also fashionable button-downs were one of the most engaging: The brief sleeves on one were actually outfit tee belts, while yet another's were actually weaved to longer panels to make whole sleeves.This reveal noticeable Lee's return to the path in Shanghai. "This period has actually been actually challenging yet it felt relevant to do a series considering that I want to really feel honored," he mentioned. Lee had actually been actually showing his compilation via lookbook and also in showrooms. While it is actually really good to become capable to find his develop close-- don't permit the barely-thereness of Lee's garments fool you, he's fairly the ingenious specialized professional-- these outfits are all best experienced in context. The after-party that observed the program happened in the very same site: In between the techno faithfuls stomping in place where the makeshift path had been earlier as well as the fashion group event outside to catch up at the tail-end of a long and exciting period, it was an opportunity to bear witness to Lee's label of metropolitan, rave-ready amorousness in full throttle..
