This weekend kicked off Fashion Week with a series of events & shows. The best of Shanghai’s fashionistas & fashionistos come out to play wearing all things trendy & chic with the occasional touch of weirdness.

When all we see are models wearing styles that we're pretty sure would never work on us, it can get a bit discouraging.
