Brief encounter for Triumph

Shanghai show throws down a brand marker to Victoria's Secret

Thirty-two years after Triumph International's pioneering move into the Chinese mainland, the lingerie giant has relaunched its luxury collection with a Shanghai fashion show.

With Lord of The Rings star Liv Tyler as the collection's new ambassador and front row guest, the show was held three weeks before its US rival Victoria's Secret debuted its latest designs in the same city on Monday.
