It all started when…

From the long historical charm to the vigorous modern atmosphere, the rich image of Shanghai has spawned a vast imagination space. It is the integration of the ancient and the present, the east and the west, and the entangling of individual experience and the current of The Times. The charm and sincerity of Shanghai can be glimpsed in prosperous legends as well as permeated in everyday styles. Under the name of "Moving Shanghai”, Gucci and Wallpaper invite us to continue our vision of Shanghai through online and offline exhibitions.

Refer to the eponymous book, there is no flowing throng passing through the city while a commonplace city view stands still instead. It properly reflects an undercurrent of lively vibes, the inner elegant of the people here and quiet romance between the architectures with warmth. This is the city I love as well as her miniature in the first half of 2022. As a Shanghainese, we suffered a lot this year. The gentle strength and restiveness take us live the life we love. The image is also a recombination of a few toughing moments which happened during the pandemic: the lovely huge pink bow hanging in the balcony, the temporary dining table etc. They melt my anxiety. I hope everything will go normal very soon and never go back.
