The Auspicious Dragon collection celebrates not just the majestic zodiac, but also Shanghai Tang’s 30th anniversary, and the brand’s tenth anniversary of collaboration with Tsai.

Tsai was previously commissioned to design Shanghai Tang’s “A Garden of Vibrant Dreams” collection to mark its 20th anniversary in 2014.

“[Before the initial collaboration] I didn’t think I could become a full-time professional artist,” shares Tsai. “Shanghai Tang has played a major part in my career. It’s a brand I truly appreciate, I feel very lucky.”
