\n\tTaking as inspiration the wardrobes of the 1930s cultural elite in Shanghai, which embraced Western codes as the city was becoming a milieu of global connection, Uma Wang explored a crafty and languid nuance of the contemporary male wardrobe.<\/p>\n
\n\tRooted in a nomadic spirit that remixed references as far apart as traditional Chinese attire and the British tailoring heritage, the Shanghai-based designer conjured a soulful collection that oozed with whiffs of nostalgia.<\/p>\n
\n\tA lived-in feel was echoed in the deconstructed qipao jackets \u2013 slouchy and tactile \u2013 worn with matching cargo pants, the garment-dyed workwear suits, lapel-less alpaca coats, and the vests with a utilitarian patch pocket at the back.<\/p>\n
\n\tOversized suits in boiled wool had a modern slant, save for the chalk-striped, double-breasted numbers with a cropped blazer that reminded one of the looks American trumpet player Buck Clayton wore during his years in Asia in the \u201830s.<\/p>\n
\n\tA handsome crop of outerwear pieces introduced inventive silhouettes, like the wool hooded bomber with outsized lapels fluttering on the front, the meaty leather jacket designed qipao-style, and a gabardine duster coat with extra volume at the back \u2013 bulky but still lightweight.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe latter was paired with matching carrot pants and top in a craft-intensive velvet and lurex jacquard with floral motifs that added an artisanal touch. Ditto for the textured, overstitched or fluffy cashmere knits.<\/p>\n
\n\tTopped with bowler hats \u2013 the result of a partnership with the Swedish brand Horisaki \u2013 Wang\u2019s lineup was a soothing exercise in rebooting century-old fashion codes with poetic sensibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taking as inspiration the wardrobes of the 1930s cultural elite in Shanghai, which embraced Western codes as the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,26701,130085,130946],"class_list":["post-243870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-milan-fashion-week","tag-milan-mens-fashion-week","tag-uma-wang"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
