Editor's Note: This roundup comes from Martina, a new contributor who explores Shanghai through a mix of curiosity, FOMO, and a rotating list of niche interests (fashion, subcultures, changing her hair, etc.). You can also find her on Instagram and Xiaohongshu.

JETLAG: New Year of the Horse Vintage Fashion Pop-Up

Ended on Sun Feb 1, 2026 at Sample

What: Three days of vintage designer stuff at Sample, led by Berlin's Radio Tirana Archive. They're known for rare 90s and early-2000s runway pieces — Prada, Miu Miu, that kind of thing — and they're bringing pieces from China-based sellers and KOL wardrobes too. Opening night has DJs, drinks, and Yunnan BBQ.

Why it's interesting: This one's less weekend market, more fashion head moment. Proper archive pieces, solid curation, and not something you see in Shanghai often.

The Block Community Market

Sun, Feb 1, 2026 at Shankang Li

What: A daytime New Year market taking over the stretch between Riink, Juanita's, and Parlay in Shangkang Li. It's a mix of food vendors, small brands, and independent designers, with food and drink deals from the venues and an after-party at Riink once it gets dark.

Why it's interesting: Feels like a proper community thing. Chill, international crowd, good energy. Not just people selling trinkets.

Sick Rag × Moon Face Dragon Temple Pop-Up

Ended on Sun Feb 1, 2026 at Sick Rag Store

What: Small in-store event at the SICK RAG store with tattoo artists York Yeh and Sic Lee doing live sketching, plus zines, prints, and limited-edition clothes. Beer is on HOPSCRAFT.

Why it's interesting: Feels like something out of a different timeline. Very specific, very handmade, and not trying to be polished.
