You Are Rong T-Shirt Brand: New T's

You Are Rong: T-Shirts with Chinese Characters and British Wit

A cheeky t-shirt brand called Rong, this is a crafty, ingenious concept that combines Chinese idioms and phrases derived from Chinese literature or history with an illustration and/or Western slogan.

More than just a direct translation so that you know what you’re wearing and why (each tee comes equipped with its own explanation tag), these catchy tees give their wearers an English slogan with an added humorous edge and leave their readers with a wealth of interpretation while still staying true to and maintaining the essence of the original Chinese meaning (the antithesis of Chinglish).

What is Rong, you ask?

This past Saturday, September 22 marked the unveiling of Kathrin von Rechenberg‘s newest collections for women’s and men’s Autumn/Winter 2012-2013 at the new Yishu 8 Art Gallery in the Former Sino-French University. Called “Maison des arts dédiée à la création contemporaine” (House of Arts dedicated to contemporary creation), these building are classified as historic monuments with the building’s lecture halls bearing an engraving of the head of the Chinese republic’s founder, Sun Yat-sen.

Originally from Munich, Kathrin von Rechenberg was trained under top Paris couturiers such as Jean-Louis Scherrer, Emanuelle Khan, Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, and Chanel.

Having her own label in Beijing for over a decade, Kathrin von Rechenberg most recently released her newest collection at Yishu8.

Aijek Fashion Label Launches on AnyShopStyle.cn

I first discovered Aijek fashion label a few months ago when I got stuck tagging along with a few shopoholic friends who went a little crazy going in and out of as many of Shanghai’s boutique shops as possible in a day.

Maybe they have the excuse of being a bit deprived of good shopping in Beijing, but it was a long day of shopping. I was tired and completely uninterested in 99% of every item of clothing we saw in practically every single store we walked into until we ended up in a tiny little store that happened to carry Aijek.  I pulled out a dress that caught my eye and decided to give it a go and try it on (out of boredom more than anything else).

What totally caught me by surprise was how well the dress fit me.  I expected it to be too big and too loose in all the wrong places. I really did not expect it to fit my petite frame perfectly, which is something that rarely happens.
