The musical extravaganza, which will start from Beijing on Aug 20, will witness the Chinese pop icon flaunting the US-based designers apparels, especially a T-shirt with Alexander Wang x Chris Lee imprint.

Alessandro Michele, the new creative director of Gucci, will also design costumes for Liss Growing Wild tour.

Li had attended Wang's store opening in Beijing and then performed at the H&M collaboration launch at Shanghai in 2014.

"Both of us are daring and risk-takers. We came up with the idea of launching a T-shirt and putting our names on it while discussing our collaboration for this tour," says Wang.

"Her designs are unique. They are really cool, fun and young," Li says.

Apart from Beijing, the tour will be held on the Chinese mainland cities Shenzhen, Nanjing and Chongqing.

Li, who was born and brought up in Chengdu, Sichuan province, rose to fame after winning Super Girl, a national level singing competition in 2005.

Known for her tom-boy image, Li has also starred in big-budget movies, including Hong Kong film Bodyguards and Assassins and The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate.
