Pyjama Ladies

Wealthy Shanghainese ladies and housewives don’t have to work. They can be in sleepwear all day and wear their pyjamas to parade their fortune…

But as Shanghai becomes a more global place – pyjamas may soon be replaced with the sad proletarian symbol of the western world: track suits. This book might be one of the first and last collection of public pyjamas.

上海的贵妇人们不需工作，成天穿着睡衣在外头展示自己的社会地位……

然而，随着魔都变得越来越国际化，睡衣也即将被高端洋气上档次的运动服取而代之。可想而知，这或许是第一份也是最后一份记载上海睡衣文化的刊物了。
