To the delight of females, young and old, Daniel Wu showed up Monday night to lend some celebrity sparkle to the L2 show. The actor, who is the face of the brand, stood on the faux grass lawn created on the catwalk and spoke for a few minutes about the brand with a gushy MC. more ›

The Dutch contingent's maiden show at this year's Shanghai Fashion Week on Sunday evening was by far the most outrageous yet (sending a model down the runway with a shirt pulled over his head - really?) Wigs, masks, elaborate headgear and wacky shoes by United Nude, the country that gave us famous fashion duo Viktor & Rolf pulled out all stops in showing Shanghai fashionistas what else they have to offer. more ›

Swedish design duo Petter Hollström and Gorjan Lauseger debuted a solid sartorial selection over the weekend. For Spring-Summer 2011, out came draped hoods and a number of slouchy drop crotch pants on a glitter-covered catwalk. The clothes were mainly black and white save a few hints of orange (that pop of color in the zippers is a clever detail.) With that and the pairing of the clothes with dark, clunky heels, the edge was turned up to just the right amount. more ›

At Simon Wang, models slowly sauntered to a live jazz singer's crooning, pausing midway to strike heavily angled poses. The concept, a jovial Wang said during a chat after the show came from the French Revolution. The looks went from dark, romantic, and repressed--seen through some of the bondage outfits--to bursts of color, court jester ruffle collars, polkadots, and shimmer. "Over-freedom" he termed it. We're not sure if we're completely on board with his whimsical fashion forecast however Wang said one trend he hopes will go away is pajamas as streetwear, "...[L]ike, hello, you're not in your living room." And with that, we can wholeheartedly agree. more ›

Lighting up the runway is designer,Jenny Ji with one of the strongest showings so far. Spectators tightly sardined into the tent to catch a glimpse of the designer's eastern sensibilities and she did not disappoint. more ›

Fashion week madness began Wednesday night at Fuxing Park. Leading the pack was designer Uma Wang, who collaborated with Swatch for her spring-summer collection. Wang sent a neutral palette down the runway. Hair-tousled models showed the first few looks in all white outfits and ended the show with head-to-toe black. Viewed from the front, many of the clothes looked deceptively simple, but as the models sailed past, back-sweeping elaborate draping would come into view. more ›

• Yesterday morning, the Pearl Tower caught fire. But since it was at 2am and nobody got hurt, most people didn't care. Xinhua reports that "before the fire there was thunder, which could have triggered the fire." I think they forgot to add the lightning aspect of that in. [Xinhua]
• Well, this is surprising: just having an Expo ticket doesn't necessarily guarantee you a visit to the Chinese Pavilion. Organizers feel that the Oriental Crown will be so popular that you may need to reserve your visit beforehand. Luckily, they'll be inside the Expo venue, so you can reserve, walk around to other pavilions and then come back - like a Fast Pass! [eChinacities]
