Channels '90s Rebellion in SHAO at Huawei Event
Chinese actress and style icon Song Yanfei made a statement at a recent offline Huawei event, stepping out in the SHAO CLASS OF '98 Collection Dark Grey Denim Short, proving once again that rebellion never goes out of style. Born in Australia and raised in Shanghai, Song brings a truly global perspective to everything she does. Her unique journey has shaped her into one of the most versatile talents in Chinese entertainment today.
The Look
Song turned heads in the Dark Grey Denim Short from our CLASS OF '98: Rebellion Remastered collection. The piece embodies the collection's core philosophy: denim as armor against a world gone mad. Raw, unapologetic, and effortlessly cool, exactly the energy Song is known for bringing to every appearance.
The dark grey wash carries that unmistakable '90s grunge attitude, updated with SHAO's signature tailoring precision. It's the kind of piece that says "I'm going places" while whispering "I play by my own rules."
Why It Works
Song Yanfei has always been a fearless dresser. The Chinese-Australian actress who trained under JYP Entertainment before pivoting to acting brings a unique blend of K-pop polish and effortless street style to everything she wears. Her choice of SHAO for this high-profile tech event speaks to a generation that refuses to separate style from substance.
There's something poetic about wearing '90s rebellion to a tech event. The late '90s stood at the crossroads of analog and digital AOL dial-up tones soundtracking a generation's coming of age. Song's look bridged that same tension: heritage craftsmanship meeting forward-thinking innovation, nostalgic silhouettes grounding a future-focused moment. It's exactly the kind of styling instinct that's made her one of China's most-watched fashion personalities.
At an event celebrating innovation and forward-thinking technology, Song's outfit choice was a deliberate nod to the past that shaped us. CLASS OF '98 is a time warp to an era of raw authenticity, and in 2026, that message resonates more than ever.
About CLASS OF '98: Rebellion Remastered
The collection draws from the holy trinity of '90s textures: leather, denim, and cashmere. Pinstripes collide with streetwear. Wall Street meets the mosh pit. It's a celebration of contrasts - polished ambition layered with raw, unfiltered cool.
As designer Shao Yang describes it, CLASS OF '98 captures an era of authenticity, a time when style was personal, imperfect, and unapologetically real. The collection channels that same energy for a new generation ready to embrace it.
With tastemakers like Song Yanfei championing the collection, that message is reaching exactly where it needs to go.
