There appear to be more well-dressed Western gentlemen these days. Female and male layering are constantly taken to new levels during the winter months. which is a good thing.

A Nuandao Afternoon
New curated shopping website Nuandao.com just threw a “Winter Party” at new Hutong hotspot Jam Bar on Gulou Dong Da Jie. It was a cute, quirky afternoon with quite a nice horde of local hipsters browsing through vintagy wares as well as goods from local design brands like Triple-Major and Tang’ Roulou.

Xander Zhou and China Fashion Week

One can either compare last week’s Xander Zhou show to those of other Chinese fashion designers at Mercedes Benz China Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012. Xander himself would probably prefer to have his show evaluated for its own merits or alongside foreign designers like Rick Owens and Christopher Kane. However, since I am not doing all that much coverage of Fashion Week here, I thought would use Xander’s show as a sort of foil for the other things I saw during this most historic week.
Of course, the first thing to point out is that Xander’s show is not part of the official schedule of Mercedes Benz China Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012. He put on his own event in an off-site location, D-Lounge, and the sponsorship and production were not connected to the official Week.
At least one consultant who will be working on upcoming China Fashion Weeks has suggested that there may be an effort to incorporate younger, hipper, more sophisticated, designers like Xander Zhou in the regular program of the Week.

More from Jing Daily and freshnessmag on the biggest Maison Martin Margiela store yet. The Maison has certainly been on the move recently. They just opened their first hotel, Maison Champs Elysées.
