TiC Pick: Mesh Bodycon Dresses
Early in the season, Alexander Wang bowled us all over with a little black dress update, perfectly rendered with body con mesh.

And because of its statement-making nature, you really don't need to put a lot of thought into styling it.

Shanghai AA Adventure
When I received an email from American Apparel informing me that they had already opened a store in Shanghai, I was ecstatic and immediately dragged a friend along to check it out. The location surprised us as it's quite out of the way, in a building we had never heard of. After many questions for directions posed to many a passerby, we were finally there, at a new building called 1933.
American Apparel and Takashimaya heading to Shanghai!
For the past year, arrivals of international brands like C&A and H&M have caused quite a stir in Shanghai. The latest news indicates that the brand American Apparel will be opening outlets in Shanghai, Beijing and Suzhou in the next few months.
