Mega Mengmeng in Masha Ma

Masha Ma worn by Mega Mengmeng

Also at Lane Crawford, fashion writer and stylist Mega Mengmeng is wearing a coat from a series that she is designing together with Paris and Shanghai based Chinese designer Masha Ma, called MegaMengMeng by Masha Ma. Here Mega Mengmeng is on a London street style blog.

Masha Ma, based between London, Paris and Shanghai, is one of the most famous fashion designers in China at the moment and she has received an amount of coverage in the Western media to match that distinction. In this Guardian article, the Central Saint Martins graduate who also worked directly with the late Alexander McQueen, explains the secrets to success in the exciting fashion market that is China – apparently the first trick is to embrace the chaos. Here are interviews on the Kering site, the South China Morning Post, and the Time website.

Fur Hat Season

It is upon us. It’s nice to see that more Beijingers are finding hats to be stylish these days. In the past, the spectacle of people in giant, grotesque, puffer coats going hatless was always amusing.

我很开心最近更多的时尚一点的北京人愿意戴帽子。原来我一直觉得看到很多人穿着特厚的羽绒服但不戴帽子有点好笑。

More from Leon

The Japanese version of Leon sent a photographer over for this event. Wearing a glen-check suit, he was one of the most effortlessly stylish individuals at the event. Don’t think I have ever seen an event photographer who was so well-dressed.

日本版的《Leon》的摄影师也来了。我从来没见过一个活动摄影师穿得这么好。

At the Former Embassy

Cao Difei with the Creative Director of Loewe was on the porch of the pre-Communism US embassy, now home to French restaurant Maison Boulud, after a fashion show by Loewe, Spain’s answer to Hermès.

Cao Difei is quite interesting. Beyond being a fashion expert with an extensive collection of colognes, he is also an accomplished singer of traditional Beijing Opera. This movie on youku (in Chinese) talks more about his life and hobbies.

支持人曹涤非是个特别有趣的人。除了对时尚很了解以外，他还唱京剧。在优酷上可以看到关于他生活的电影。
