Discover the Shao FW25 — Fall/Winter 2025 — “Shanghai 1930s: Paris of the East, New York of the West” collection unveiled at New York Fashion Week on Monday, February 10, 2025. Designer Shao Yang, born in Taiwan, but Brooklyn raised, takes inspiration from Shanghai in the 1930s — the golden age of Shanghai, an international port alive with energy and style.

The electric and elevated coed streetwear collection is a fusion of East-meets-West with fine tailoring, denim, leather, and accentuated shoulder details for dramatic silhouettes. And with dramatic makeup and Western hats accessories, this was a runway event that left a beautiful, lasting impression on this Editor.
