." This is the only display in Shanghai where you'll find some popular young boys," joked a buddy at Ximon Lee, the last path presentation at the Shanghai assortments. "You'll see pretty women and also classic Mandarin Tai Tai's [an idiomatic condition for an affluent, wedded gal], those sort of designs, yet only below you'll get hot males!"
