Shanghai Tang churns out ugly, kitsch looking things and their local designers get treated very badly. Savannah Miller was recently appointed to design a knitwear collection - why? because of her celebrity connections.</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/02/04/shanghai_tang.php#comment-204695 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/02/04/shanghai_tang.php#comment-204695 Comments Sun, 05 Feb 2006 13:49:42 +0800 <p>Shanghai Tang seems to fall into the "Asia Mystique" brand of marketing to the West-- do you know any Chinese who would wear clothes with Chinese characters printed on them? I don't. </p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/02/04/shanghai_tang.php#comment-204693 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/02/04/shanghai_tang.php#comment-204693 Comments Sun, 05 Feb 2006 12:22:08 +0800 <p>They are way overpriced, who can afford these prices in China?</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/02/04/shanghai_tang.php#comment-204689 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/02/04/shanghai_tang.php#comment-204689 Comments Sat, 04 Feb 2006 17:37:38 +0800 <p>Good points Peijin, and fair criticisms. A random green shirt with Chinese characters doesn't strike me as particularly unique, and the reference to xintiandi... yuck. Well I see the writer has read 'Wild Swan's' and is one of those people who believe every Chinese aspect is due to Mao, and not to do with the thousand years before him in any way.</p>
