Introduction

Shanghai is a sprawling metropolis where tradition and modernity coexist. Seven years after moving to the city, french creative director benoir patrese still has the same sensation he had the first day. He asked other creatives to draw their chanh moment as a single cover page with the title the shamheren. Over 80 covers later, in early 20 21, petres published a book, a fine binding anthology of all covers up to now. It's an ode from the creative souls to the city that breeds them.
