"There is something gloriously vintage about shooting a cookbook in a hotel. It's glamorous, dramatic and hauntingly beautiful. The Shanghai Waldorf Astoria stars alongside PLAKINGER`s collection where the lavish suites match the strikingly elegant dresses while the hotel`s rich history chimes with the 1970s vibe of the collection. From the glossy Sicilian marble floors to the retro furniture to the chic fireplace, the romance of the collection shines through."

"This collection was inspired by Jerry Hall and her love story with Mick Jagger. The Waldorf symbolises this sense of grandeur, the luxury and extravagance displayed by rock stars in the 1970s. Our collection is the tribute to the splendid vibes and glamour of this iconic and well documented relationship."

"We liked the hotel`s tasteful elegance. From our graphic red pieces to our metallic dresses, we wanted to play with the contrast between minimalist androgynous style and formal cosmopolitan elegance. It was easy for our collection to blend in with these sumptuous surroundings because of how they sublimated our silhouettes."
