American flag T-shirt
Photo & Text: Steven

Today commemorates the birth of the American nation and the one day set aside each year where overt displays of patriotism are not only welcomed, but encouraged. On this day the American flag T-shirt paired with cornflower blue trousers and bright white sandals—what I imagine Uncle Sam would wear on summer vacation—would not be in minority among the crowds of flag-waving parade goers.

Summer’s Vengeance

We had a slight respite due to rain in the past few days, but true evil of summer is going to be upon us soon. Fans remain the best accessory. For you and world, they are the coolest way to stay air-conditioned.

My Party in Ilook

After a successful gathering with Daniel Wang at Jeffrey’s apartment, we teamed up with FakeLoveMusic for a Berlinish bash with German bubbly in my mini-yard nearby Prince Gong’s Mansion. DJing was Berlin-based electronic music group Jeans Team, but the main point was all the patterns and colors worn by the guests as documented by photographer Charles Bédué. These photos were featured in iLook magazine, media magnifico Hong Huang’s publication.

At Simon Gao

Tommy and I were a bit late, but we ended up making it in time for the very beginning of the show. Here are the girls in the front row and here are photos of the show from Trends. The gifts that Simon Gao gave out might have been the most distinctive that I have yet encountered at this type of event. His translucent hooded capes in black are unisex and quite the signature item.
