An Ambitious Project – 一个宏大的项目

Afternoon of Arrivistes在雪马球赛

I spent the weekend at the Tianjin Goldin Metropolitan Polo Club for the first snow polo match ever in Asia. The event was a great chance for China’s luxury-obsessed new wealthy to strut their stuff.

Not Plastered Today今天不Plastered

I ran into Dominic Johnson-Hill by the Opposite House in Sanlitun. He founded one of Beijing’s most acclaimed tee-shirt boutiques, Plastered 8. One of my favorite websites, Nicely Made in China, has an interview with Dominic.

Tourists from Jinan从济南来的游客

This couple that runs a fashion boutique in Jinan, Shandong Province, were in Beijing for Chinese New Year Holiday. Despite warmer weather, the last week has not been terribly stylish in Beijing as the streets have been dominated by tourists.
