Mark Gong Abandons Leather for Y2K Lolita Glamour at Shanghai Fashion Week Spring 2027

In Shanghai, Mark Gong introduced his Spring 2027 collection, departing from his usual leather-and-lace vibe to embrace a fun, Y2K-inspired Lolita theme. The collection tells the tale of a girl captivated by a stranger, who’s always on her phone and dresses up for someone who doesn’t even notice her. Gong described it as “when your mind creates a love story, casts the wrong lead, and just won’t let it go.” The lineup featured low-rise skirts, cropped tops, lace-trimmed cargo pants, sheer peignoirs, and snug ruffled denim skirts, all adorned with sequins, feathers, and dramatic trains. The show, which started late—a rare occurrence for Shanghai Fashion Week—drew celebrities like OuYang NaNa, Somi, and He Chao Lian. Gong designed 67 unique looks, with the last two dresses hinting at a journey of self-discovery for the Gong Girl.
