As the iconic James Bond 007 theme song echoed through Wangfu Center in Beijing on Saturday, the dimly lit runway transformed into the backdrop for a spy thriller. This dramatic setting marked the launch of acclaimed Chinese-Dutch designer Hu Sheguang's Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, titled "Exist."

Models sporting oversized, exaggerated MYD sunglasses showcased garments featuring classic checkered patterns in various colors. Wearing flat caps or wide-brimmed hats, they presented women's suits with hourglass waistlines, curve-hugging pencil dresses, and mesh ruffles adorning the neck and cuffs. The designs challenged traditional gender norms by incorporating elements typically found in men's wardrobes, such as ties and bowties.
