Shanghai Tang takes me back to HK in the 90s, and yes, to Wong Kar Wai's classic. I still have one of ST's jackets with a mandarin collar, but not much else. The denim work jacket is classic.

This makes me so happy as a Chinese person - from Hong Kong too! Wong Kar Wai lends our city such romanticism. There is also nothing like a well-made qipao or Mandarin jacket - they may be lime green / bright pink but, when done right, there will always be a quietness about the piece no matter how flamboyant the design, a whisper of elegance.
