Description

Along the waterfront of Shanghai, a wide promenade known as the Bund, the city authorities in China's biggest city have planted a living wall of cascading colour. The flowers are real, regularly watered along the 750m length of vertical garden. I was struck by this young woman's perfect juxtaposition of red trousers against pink flowers and pink bag against red, and her choice of neutral black and white striped top.
