Shanghai Tang is more about wearable art than fashion. In fact, its not fashion at all. I hate fashion. I hate fashion with a passion. Shanghai Tang is bringing beauty to life and then superimposing it on handwoven, delicately crafted articles of clothing. It's a concept as ancient as the idea of clothing itself, but as contemporary and experimental a concept as a modern masterpiece, such as would hang upon the wall at a museum of avant-garde beauty. Shanghai Tang is the cultural icon of our generation. - Arik Katzenberg
