For anyone wondering why there isn’t a Shanghai hat, Atlanta-born Koch explained that they “didn’t find a perfect icon of a disappearing city memory that would work together with a hat” for the city.
And if she were going to design one, she would probably choose the buildings along the Bund to represent Shanghai. (Maybe these Shanghai scenes can serve as better inspirations?)
All hats will tour to InterContinental’s 22 hotels throughout China from November for display in the lobbies. The group is looking at putting them up for online auction afterwards.
