At a time when the luxury goods trade is piling into China, Shanghai Tang, one of the best-known Chinese clothing brands, aims to spread worldwide with a doubling of its overseas stores.Vividly colored robes and the Chinese Qi Pao are part of its classic collection and are produced annually. It was part of the earliest offerings, a concept launched by the Hong Kong businessman David Tang. Shanghai Tang also plans to collaborate with kung fu masters, monks from Shaolin, to launch a Kungfu line.Now, 60 percent of Shanghai Tang’s market is in Asia, mostly in Hong Kong. The rest is evenly distributed between Europe and the United States.
