In another sign of deepening commitment, it was also the first time the collection was presented through a runway show format, which was streamed live online from the Minsheng Art Wharf in Shanghai.

“We tried to weave in Fila’s heritage but also what we do,” Lim said. “The trenchcoat that opened the show was
