Vega Wang

Here is Vega Wang at the opening party (for media) of her first storefront/workshop in Beijing’s Jianwai Soho. Hers is one of the first freestanding boutiques opened by a local fashion designer. This womanswear shop is a must-see for visitors and locals alike as it is a rare example in Beijing of a creative, pleasant, interior design combined with a 100% locally conceived and produced brand. The workshop is on the other side of the fitting room, but the master cutter in the back room is disciplined enough not to peep in on any of the beautiful clients for whom he custom makes dresses.

On a Fixed Gear

Beijing is starting to have its share of hipsters with fixed gear bikes. This one was purchased on Wudaoying Hutong and customized by the owner.

如今,北京的潮人们也开始玩单链自行车(俗称:“死飞轮”)。这辆就是在此人在五道营
胡同专门定制的。

The Furious

Having a drink, vintagy photographer Zhang Zheming is founder of his own studio, called Furious, which is engaged in design of print advertisements as well as shoots for fashion magazines. He previously worked for J. Walter Thompson, Ogilvy & Mather Advertising and other 4A advertising agencies. I chatted with him about fashion in Beijing.
