That's what "LIE" is, the new line penned by Korean designe Lie Sang Bong, which first collection has been running the catwalk of the French Fashion Week for a long time.

Street Style: Summer in Beijing

Photographed around the city’s hip downtown Sanlitun area, the 798 art district and the Jinggang sportscar race track, the stylish set is keen on an eclectic, casual style. Tunics over short skirts, little black dresses and lacy frocks are key, but it’s the assortment of denim Hot Pants that appear to be the order of the day.
