The City of Genius is a video performed by Leah Dou to show the idea of ​​genius for the Italian haute couture brand Moncler. A journey through time, on a tour of an urban landscape of a fictional city inspired by Shanghai, in a film directed by filmmaker Wing Shya.

Photographer Wing Shya was born in 1964 in Hong Kong, the city where he currently resides, working in the fields of fashion, film and art. He began his career as a graphic designer after studying at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Canada, returning to Hong Kong, where he founded the Shya-la-la workshop.

Photographer Wing Shya has created The City of Genius for Moncler as a visual manifesto on how to “live like a genius” following the trajectory of a young woman (played by Leah Dou) at different stages of her life as she explores her identity and discovers the possibilities of creativity. A journey of self-realization that allows him to explore different corners of the city, exploring perceptions through images, sometimes real and sometimes the result of fiction.

The city as a landscape through which Shya builds a captivating look through the lens of cinema and the creation of contemporary images. The Italian brand Moncler invited a group of creators to project thematic worlds with which to land in Shanghai by presenting The City of Genius as part of Shanghai Fashion Week. The video is a small sample that builds a metropolis of immersive experiences as a global epicenter of creativity, in a celebration of innovation and local culture in Shanghai.
