." This is actually the only receive Shanghai where you'll observe some trendy children," poked fun a friend at Ximon Lee, the final runway presentation at the Shanghai assortments. "You'll see pretty girls and also timeless Chinese Tai Tai's [an idiomatic condition for an affluent, wedded girl], those sort of models, however simply here you'll get hot guys!"
