For October, we’re summoning the synergy between algorithms and ancient systems. It’s tech meets tradition, spirituality, and the youth’s renewed fascination with fate, myth, and lore.

Sedan chairs that carry tourists up hiking trails are a long-running debate in China. Some feel for the bearers doing the heavy lifting, while others point out it’s how they make a living. Now there‘s an electric version, where neither the bearers nor the ”hiker“ needs to do any cardio. A three-hour hike? Now it takes 30 minutes.

A Zoo, the Powerpuff Girls, and a wuxia universe walk into Shanghai Fashion Week SS27...
This season, China’s homegrown designers treated the catwalk less like a fashion showcase and more like a stage for storytelling, from statements on individuality and nature to heritage and girlhood, all without losing any elegance. We’ve rounded up five of this year‘s most imaginative runways, proof that Shanghai’s fashion scene never fails to deliver concepts you didn’t see coming.

UGH, another October, another month of playing Earth Online with no log-off button in sight. Luckily, RADII has your back with cheat codes in buzzword form. Step back from pointless side quests in 幸福者退让 mode, count every small win as a 大结果, and if your teammates have never let you down, congratulations, they’re 不烧心.

The Three Stripes are having an identity crisis — in the best possible way.
adidas Presents: “FUTURE OF THREE” is taking over Shanghai’s ROJO Art & Culture Space this October, bringing together fashion, sport, music, art, food, and community to explore where the brand goes next.
Think a STAN SMITH playground meets creative studio: archival sneakers from Germany, upcoming releases, green-themed art and objects, live improv music, styling sessions, tennis, cold-brew tea, and a community lawn where everything from jianzi to Baduanjin gets a Three Stripes twist.
Then there’s the runway, where Originals, outdoor, winter, New Chinese Style, and Y-3 come together — including Y-3’s first-ever runway presentation in China.
The night doesn’t stop when the runway does, either. The venue gets flipped into a showroom featuring new products and collaborations with creatives including DIDU, Song for the Mute, Simone Rocha, and GALI.
Call it an identity crisis. We’ll call it evolution.

If you squint, doesn’t this look like neon-lit, dystopian street furniture straight out of Blade Runner? Well, we can tell you that it‘s definitely not AI-generated or concept art. In fact, it’s a beaded lantern, or 珠灯 (zhū dēng), a traditional Chinese craft popularized in the Qing dynasty and recognized as intangible cultural heritage in 2009.
These lanterns are made by threading glass, jade, and other precious stone beads onto bamboo and twine, often built up in multiple layers. The patterns change with the occasion, but most feature auspicious imagery like birds and flowers, and sometimes even words. Larger lanterns are often made up of smaller ones that encircle a central body, and when lit, they cast intricate, dancing shadows.
One of the largest in China is located in Wuxian Temple (五显庙), Zhejiang Province. Made over 300 years ago, it stands more than 4 meters tall, with layer upon layer of beads. But because it’s so fragile, it isn’t always on display, so seeing it lit up in person is a rare occasion, especially as the art of making these lanterns is gradually being lost to time.
