Shanghai's historic Yuyuan Garden, with its 466-year legacy, has partnered with fashion and lifestyle brand Stay Real to launch a whimsical collaboration that bridges tradition and modern creativity.

The brand's mascots, the Mojo Family, have entered the classical Jiangnan-style garden, infusing youthful charm into dialogue with Oriental aesthetics.

Three new characters, Carrot, Bunny, and Green Apple, have taken up residence through a series of artistic installations. Each combines playful, endearing designs with auspicious cultural meanings, creating a cross-temporal conversation between history and contemporary trends.
