SHANGHAI CHIC
The traditional lanes and
shikumen
houses of Xintiandi are now a hotbed of big designer
brands. For funkier fashions, head over to the adjoining Xintiandi Style mall (245 Madang
Road), where hip young designers from Shanghai and across Asia showcase their latest col-
lections. IAPM Mall (999 Huaihai Road C) is one of the city's newest and swankiest malls
with great dining and an IMAX cinema in the penthouse.
In the former French Concession, the narrow residential lanes of Tianzifang (Lane 210
Taikang Road) are packed with local designer boutiques, trinket stalls and alfresco cafés -
it's a great place to pick up some one-off souvenirs. Look out for hand-embroidered ethnic-
styled accessories at Harvest Studio (Suite 18, Bldg 3, Lane 210 Taikang Road) and photo-
graphic prints of Shanghai scenes at Deke Erh Art Centre (No. 2, Lane 210 Taikang Road).
