Historic building hosts new fashion show

The venue is the final work of Hungarian-Slovak architect László Hudec in Shanghai. Wei selected this neoclassical house because it had been abandoned long enough to develop a romantic atmosphere.

Collection draws on ancient crafts

Motifs from Chaoshan ancient crafts appeared in the collection which Wei described as an Oriental forest. The designs combined traditional brocades with sharp tailoring and vivid colors that ran riot across the garments.

Rooms transformed into inner life scenes

Artist Tang Haiqing helped turn the villa rooms into different parts of a woman's inner life. Paintings and bright hues set the scenes for this mix of historic house and imaginary boudoir.
