Chinese fashion brand Shanghai Tang reminds us that sunny days are just around the corner with its spring-summer 2015 campaign photographed in Capri, Italy. Richard Ramos captured Bonnie Chen and Dae Na in the new colorful styles including electric prints, swimsuits and modern silhouettes.
Creative direction was by Jane Lombard with hair and makeup by Miguel Ángel Álvarez.
The Spring/ Summer 2015 collection features brilliant shades of turquoise blue, deep red, vermillion, magnolia yellow, alongside earthy neutrals in sophisticated cuts and silhouettes. By taking a leaf out of a traveller’s wardrobe, the silky blouses and knee-length wrap dresses make for the ideal, effortless outfit on a summer vacation – perhaps even to the island of Capri.

One standout print in the collection were the fluttering butterflies, set against a blue and dark purple background featuring a kaleidoscopic range of colours and shapes. Seen on tailored dresses, pencil skirts and a sweater with knitted sleeves, the playful print serves to inject a touch of whimsy to the rather elegant pieces.

Not forgetting their Chinese roots, oriental accents were retained such as the mandarin collar; buttons usually found in typical cheongsams were replicated onto blouses as well as the traditional knot buttons.
So if you’re looking for the perfect elegant oriental outfit – one that melds tradition with the modern times – then we’d suggest picking out the butterfly-printed cheongsam or the cap sleeve dress with buttons. Either way, your style will be right on point for the festivities.
