The “O” Shirt from Zhang Da

In a hidden corner in 798, lies a fashion surprise for fans of minimalist wear, playful irony and small, independent fashion labels …

zhang da’s “white cube”

Baffled on first sight, I walked the full circumference of the “white cube” before realizing… 

zhang da’s “white cube” — penetration!

Inside the white elastic “cube” is a maze of elastic partitions, displaying Zhang Da’s designs for his 2008 line. His designs are flattering on many body types, and a refreshingly original take on androgyny.  Zhang Da takes ambiguity to a new level; up can be down, inside can be out, backwards or front. It can all be comfortably stylish (and affordable, price tags all below 500 RMB).

Zhang Da has pioneered his own response to the “T” Shirt: the O Shirt. See the O Shirt and other designs at this temporary store. (Keeping you in suspense…) Information and photos below
