Shanghai

We meet the friends who created it.

In the latest instalment of Global Street Style, i-D gets to know Shanghai's bold new generation of artists, designers and musicians working their way around China's Great Firewall.

i-D hit the streets in China’s most international cities to find out where the cool kids hang out, what they disagree with their parents’ generation about, and what freedom means under the rule of the Chinese government.

Shanzhai is the Chinese appropriation of Western luxury goods like Apple phones or Vuitton handbags; but Shanzhai Biennial is a collective of three artists, exploring Shanzhai culture through high-gloss surface rich images, that revel in the uncanny.
