很高兴认识你！Shanghai Style File

This is not just another street fashion blog. While countless looks have been chronicled on the streets of Paris, NYC, Milan, Tokyo and London, this blog is inherently different because of its locale: the Pearl of the Orient, the Whore of the East: Shanghai, China. To document Shanghai style is important because Shanghai represents what fashion truly is about: satiating the thirst for change while balancing the dichotomy between old and new.

The pulse of this metropolis is not unlike the rapid heartbeat that pumps through fashion’s veins. Shanghai’s infrastructure is constantly ripped to shreds. Razing an old neighborhood to make room for a dazzling new high-rise is part of the globalization routine. Futuristic peaks appear over the horizon as quickly as H&M turns over its own merchandise. Both hemlines and silhouettes & Shanghai’s horizon are under constant deconstruction and evolution.

My objective in creating the Shanghai Style File is to research the questions, “How does fashion fit into Shanghai as they both constantly evolve? Where are the two heading? Down the same paths?”

My guide on this quest to the answers? Shanghai Style File will rely on the documentation of the “who, “what,” and “wear” of everything fashion in this city to lead the way! The File will include an inclusive list of anything and anybody with Style: bios and interviews of fashion leaders, artists, designers, DJs, stylists, and of course the 时髦 folks on the street.
