LIFE
THE right colours must be used or meaning is lost, fashion experts will tell you. But sometimes people face a hard choice in deciding which colour to select to stand out on Shanghai's lively streets.
 
Life Style
  • Luxurious lifestyle catches on
    AN event is looming over Shanghai, casting a glow filled with Lamborghinis, private jets, expensive cognac and mega-yachts.
  • Promising market
    WORLD luxury item producers have long found East Asia a promising land due to the economic success of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan in the latter half of last century. Now it's the Chinese mainland's turn.
  • Eton welcomes Chinese boys
    FOR the first time in its 565-year history, Eton College, the United Kingdom's most famous secondary school, is offering a summer course for Chinese boys aged 14 to 16.
  • Shikumen boat takes to river
    A YACHT built in the shape of a shikumen building started cruising on the city's Huangpu River last week.
Fashion
  • Cornucopia of colours
    THE right colours must be used or meaning is lost, fashion experts will tell you. But sometimes people face a hard choice in deciding which colour to select to stand out on Shanghai's lively streets.
  • Painter with a camera
    THE works of Guy Bourdin, one of the most important contemporary fashion photographers of the 20th century, will be exhibited at the Shanghai Art Museum in June.
Health
  • Heart of the matter
    The rapid increase of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in China and globally has prompted leading medical experts from home and abroad to call for the public to abandon unhealthy lifestyles and manage risk factors better.
Travel
  • Pacific spirit of the Marianas
    THE four-and-a-half-hour flight from Shanghai to Saipan was quiet, except for the intermittent sound of snoring. Sitting in the stuffy cabin, I imagined what people living in Saipan would look like.
