Hong Kong luxury fashion house Shanghai Tang has released a collection of footwear with newly appointed chief shoe designer Bing Xu.

The new collection includes a relaxed and laid back take on Bing Xu’s famous Belgian loafer and two slip-on shoes.

In a nod to the newly started Year of the Rat, one of the shoe designs features an embroidered picture of a cat toying with a mouse. Others feature vivid tiger and dragon embroidery.

A sought-after Chinese designer in recent years, Bing Xu founded his luxury footwear label in 2013 and started to present his collections independently in Milan in 2017. The brand is frequently featured in major fashion and lifestyle magazines.
