." This is the only display in Shanghai where you'll see some trendy kids," joked a pal at Ximon Lee, the final runway discussion at the Shanghai assortments. "You'll see appealing ladies and classic Chinese Tai Tai's [a colloquial term for a prosperous, wedded lady], those sort of styles, but merely listed below you'll get hot males!" The site for Lee's steamy train of smoke-shows was actually the smokier Shanghai club Heim, which resumed at a new site earlier this year.
