High Life Issue #5

HIGH LIFE #5 February 2017 129 H ong Kong brand Shanghai Tang, first established by Sir David Tang and nowowned by the Richemont group, is the epitome of Chinese finesse. Well known for its traditional designs in bold statement colors, the brand is one of those names that simply never goes out of style. To own a Shanghai Tang Qipao is to own a piece of tailor-made art. Lady in Red There is no color more auspicious than red and a dress made entirely of red silk is a match made in heaven. Shanghai Tang’s dress with gingko embroidery is a perfect fit for any occasion. The beautiful red stretch silk is embellished with ginkgo leaf embroidery made with glass beading. The A-line dress is perfect for special occasions and will fit gracefully on any body shape. The Qipao style neckline is highlighted by fine stitching, adding that extra touch of class to the garment. Lovely Leather Another of the house’s signatures is its edgy touch. Although the Qipao is a sophisticated and feminine piece, Shanghai Tang is not afraid to be bold. Made entirely of calf leather, the calf hair Qipao will, at first sight, give the impression of lace. A more carful look will showcase the uniqueness of this limited edition dress. Sensuous, but with an audacious edge, this Qipao looks stunning in soft calf leather with lace-like laser cut pattern and is limited to only 10 samples worldwide. Velvet Underground Take a look at today’s shop windows and you will soon discover that velvet is well and truly back – and in good time too. Elegant and luxurious, velvet will make any lady feel like a queen. The velvet Qipao with dragon embroidery is made in velvet and sheer black silk, with the best saved for last. At the back of the dress, stunning black bead dragon embroidery completes the ensemble and adds drama to the outfit. 由 邓永锵爵士创立、及后被历峰集团收购的香港品牌「上 海滩」，多年来一直是中式典雅品位的代名词。「上海 滩」以糅合传统设计与夺目颜色而著称，其时尚感恒久不衰。 拥有一袭上海滩旗袍，犹如拥有一件度身定制的私人艺术品。 中国红 以中国传统节庆颜色和上等真丝缝制衣裙，可谓天作之合。迷 人的红色弹力丝绸面料，饰以银杏叶刺绣和玻璃珠绣，实为品 牌又一经典，是出席特殊场合的完美装束。这款 A 字刺绣连衣 裙适合任何体态的女士，旗袍式领口饰以精美的针脚，演绎经 典情怀。 别样质感 忠于传统而不墨守成规，是品牌屹立不倒的原因之一。旗袍以 其委婉含蓄的风格展现东方女性魅力，而上海滩则在此基础上 注入前卫元素。这款毛牛皮切割花纹旗袍裙采用柔软的胎牛皮 材质，配以优雅的雷射切割图案，呈现蕾丝效果。它感性而大 胆，全球仅限量十件。 华贵丝绒 目之所及，您会发现历史悠久的丝绒面料再度悄然风行，重新 在时装界占据一席之位。优美华丽的丝绒，足以让任何女士倾 心，感受女王般的奢宠。这款龙纹刺绣丝绒旗袍采用黑色丝绒 面料，背部饰以珠绣龙形图案，精美动人，戏剧感十足。
