Support Your Local Independent Designer
Earrings by cukimber
Showcasing the work of six local independent designers, the next installment of Shanghai’s indie designer “Night Market” returns to the relaxed Xingfu Lu bar/club space Dada on Wednesday, December 14th. Running from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM, the Night Market — which straddles the line between pop-up store and house party — gives visitors the chance to support indie designers, enjoy local treats from the Little Blue Cart and Funky Monkey Banana Bread, and take part in a charity raffle, all with a 60s-infused soundtrack supplied by The Beat DJs Sacco and Morgan.
Participants in December’s Night Market include:
