At Uma Wang


Text and Photos ：Suzy

Last Friday, Uma Wang was presented with the Audi Progressive Designer 2011 Award at the brand’s showroom located on East Chang’an Avenue. The event featured an exclusive preview of her 2012 winter collection which was started off by dancers in black dresses and slashed leather tops. The collection included beautiful asymmetrically cut heavy wool coats, dresses with a draped signature back, all-over print ensembles (a progressive trend?) as well as thickly woven sweaters paired with slim patterned pants. The fundraising auction that took place after the show sold a polka dot coat, leggings and dress for 30,000 RMB. The money will be donated to UNICEF in order to support Audi’s fundraising efforts for adolescent education in China.

Absolut ArtistAbsolut 艺术家

I ran into pop artist Gao Yu at the Case da Abitare event the other day. He designed Absolut’s first-ever China Limited Edition bottle, Absolut 72 Bian, which takes inspiration from the the Monkey King who transforms 72 times in the course of the 16th Century novel Journey to the West.

我在《居Case da Abitare》碰到了高瑀，设计了绝对伏特加专为中国定制的中国限量版“72变” (Absolut 72 Bian)酒瓶。今年很多活动都用了他设计的这个酒瓶。

Native Americans have resonance here too, it seems. I will have to ask around to whether people here think of them as being Asian.

我想多了解下这里的人有没有觉得美国本地人也是亚洲人。
