Provocative Midriff

Han Xiaosong is a makeup artist and stylist at China Central Television. He is thus a government employee. I wonder if he is a Party member.

韩小淞在中国中央电视台做化妆造型师。他有可能是党员吗?

Red Brogue Girl

Amy is a retro kind of girl. She hopes to live in a courtyard nearby Nanluoguxiang and shops at the secondhand market. From Qingdao, she studied design in Beijing and now works as a designer at Wanda Place. I have a pair of red brogues just like hers except in suede.

梵米米在青岛出生,在北京学习设计,现在在做设计师。 她“偏爱具有时光感和魔术师风格的衣物,一般不看牌子 只选单品”。 她一般在外贸店和旧货市场买东西。现在她很想搬到平房住因为她很喜欢北京的老城。

Zhang Chi å¼ é©°

I can’t believe that Zhang Chi has not appeared on Stylites before. A very Beijing sort of boy from accent to attitude, Zhang Chi went to the UK to study at 16 and later pursued a master’s degree in Milan, Italy, at Istituto Marangoni. Returning to China in 2010, his collections have shown at China Fashion Week. One of his main themes is a medieval knight brought up to the 21st century. I suspect we will have a more in-depth interview with him here in the near future.

The Future Global Cognitive Elite?

Elizabeth Ho is the single person of 100% Chinese extraction in the “It’s My Time photoshoot, currently occuring in the Meatpacking District.

Here she is being interviewed by May Chang, Senior Editor of the Chinese edition of Milk Magazine. May is a Hong Kong girl based in Beijing. The other member of the Chinese media at the “It’s My Time” event was Quentin Li, Fashion Director at Elle. And then there was me.

Two Nights in the Meatpacking

Springtime downtown is heartbreaking – the incomparable light, the adorable architecture, and everyone so attractive and determined. It’s another whirlwind tour through Manhattan, this time to attend the shooting of “It’s My Time”. Lodging is in the Standard, cocktails with the 20 finalists are in the Boom Boom Room and the photo shoot by Josh Olins is at Superstudios. I am eager to experience life in the Meatpacking District.

Kevin Tallon from Robe di Kappa

Off the normal fashion week schedule was the Robe Di Kappa show. Kevin Tallon from St Martin’s Design Laboratory of London headed the team that created one of the strongest collections of the week from the perspectives of theme consistency, innovation in fabrication and cut, and integrity of design.

Robe Di Kappa 这次时装秀的时间和不在正常的时装周日程上。由Kevin Tallon率领的伦敦圣马丁设计工作室带来的设计是这一周表现力最强的设计之一,主题一致,裁剪和制作上极富创意,设计简洁连贯。
