A loop and knot fastening is used here at the side of a woman's summer top. In this position it serves more as discreet decoration than as a practical fastening although a similar knot and loop secures the garment at the back of the neck. This non-traditional use of a traditional closure is typical of the clothese made by Shanghai Tang, the brainchild of the Hong Kong entrepreneur David Tang. The garment is reversible. It is lined with a silk chiffon, the same weight as the patterned 'outside' but in plain lilac. Exemplifying the Shanghai Tang touch, a plain chiffon fastening is sewn on the patterned side, and a patterned one is sewn on the plain 'inside'. This top is teamed with a matching pair of trousers.
