Featured in LUXE
SHAO SS26 Look 31 was recently featured in LUXE, an editorial published by Numéro Netherlands and photographed and creatively directed by Luke Stage.
Bringing together designers whose work responds to light, texture, and movement, the editorial moves between sculptural stillness and fluid motion through a series of striking studio portraits.
Look 31 in Context
Selected from SHAO’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Look 31 appears in two images throughout the article. The reflective silver dress feels particularly at home within the editorial’s visual language, where surfaces constantly shift depending on light, angle, and perspective.
What makes the feature compelling is the way the garment changes across the images. In one frame, the dress appears almost metallic and architectural; in another, it softens into folds and movement, taking on an entirely different character.
A Shared Visual Language
Featured alongside a range of international designers, SHAO’s presence in LUXE connects with the editorial’s focus on modern glamour, material contrast, and sculptural styling.
The feature offers a new context for Look 31, placing it within an image series that highlights atmosphere as much as clothing. Through Luke Stage’s lens, the piece becomes part of a broader study of light, texture, and presence.
AS SEEN ON XU JIAQI
Look 31 has also previously been worn by Xu Jiaqi, also known as Kiki, bringing the piece into a different kind of public-facing moment.
On Xu Jiaqi, the reflective silver dress took on a more celebrity-focused presence, showing how the look can move beyond editorial styling while still keeping its visual impact. Seen both in LUXE and on Xu Jiaqi, Look 31 continues to stand out through its surface, shape, and ability to change with its setting.
