We recently attended the American Rag Cie “Made in China” Shop in Shop launch, showcasing Chinese designers never before sold outside of China. It was some of the coolest stuff we’ve seen in quite some time. And here’s to not rocking the same H&M Collection dress with the girl standing next to you at the bar! Check out the list, below of cutting-edge Chinese designers and their statement pieces found now at American Rag!
