When we first met Lin Lin from the brand Eno in 2007 at United Fashion Trade Show, we were intrigued by her passion for her home city of Shanghai and the inspiration taken from her country when it came to the emerging China youth and street culture scenes, including rise of indie bands, social networks, and corresponding lifestyle apparel.
