For being next door neighbors, Hong Kong and Shenzhen share little on the subject of suiting style. Where the average Hong Kong twenty-something prefers a typically western palette of banker’s blues and notched grays, their mainland counterparts stretch towards hyper fashions and over-the-topitude. Silk chests under suede lapels. Übertight black stretch trousers. Square-padded shoulders. Designer names in boldface.

However preferences lie, Hong Kong boasts an international port of call for revered trunk shows and the haberdasheries that host them.  However, the People’s Republic has waited sorely without either. That is, until now.
