New Openings: Lu 12.28

Designer Liu Lu returned to China in 2007 after a decade abroad, which took her from Swiss boarding school to the Parsons School of Design and on to a job styling Puff Daddy, Nelly Furtado and Rihanna. Now she’s opened an airy space next door to Mosto at Nali Patio.

Her clothes celebrate the art of drape and geometry in rich fabrics that fit and skim the body by turns. Such beautiful designs don’t come cheap – silk skirts for RMB 999, bold print dresses for RMB 2,380 and sexy metallic knits in-between – but she only makes one in each size. If you buy it, she doesn’t make another. The shop also sells jewelry and eccentric hats by Beijing-based milliner Elisabeth Koch.
