Italy Pavilion Uniforms at Expo

I guess giving the “Best Uniforms at the Expo” award to Italy is not exactly a shocker, especially given that they are designed by Prada.

The fabrics were a little bit too techno for me – I often find this with Prada – but the color and pattern matching is quite memorable. I will talk more about the Pavilion itself later, but Italy deserves to do well in the China market after such an effort. Having the backing of such major fashion houses helps of course.

Loose and Free

It’s a sort of modernization of the traditional Scottish style since it is neither a real kilt nor traditional brogues but certainly very reminiscent of both. Tupper Bai is a makeup artist.

Second of Fame

Why? I just wanted to show a typical shop owner on Gulou Dongdajie. She is from Tianjin and her shop, called Famous, sells interesting items bearing labels with names like “Marc Jacobs” and “Louis Vuitton”.

More Men at agnès b.

Designer Xander Zhou (周翔宇) thought the agnès b. show as good. His avant-garde designs blur gender, geographic, and subcultural lines in startling ways, but it is rare that I see a piece from him that I can imagine on my own back.

设计师周翔宇觉得agnès b.的时装秀不错。他的前卫设计以惊人的方式模糊了性别，地域，以及亚文化的线条，但少见的是这次我看他穿的那件无衬 里的现代感十足的真丝男装便服我便想像自己穿上是什么样子。
