Nabuqi is an artist originally from Inner Mongolia. I normally can’t stand cut-off jeans in any form, but this time decided to overlook that.

Back in London
Am back in London for a spell and haven’t had a chance to upload the latest pics. I will do so very soon though.

A Top China Blog
Thanks to Jing Daily for including me in its list of the top five China fashion bloggers. Amusing that beyond being the only non-Chinese on this list, I am the only male. This story was picked up by the Business of Fashion and The New York Times Fashion and Style Section.
Global Times and CIB on Li Xiaofeng
The Global Times just did an article on Li Xiaofeng’s cooperation with Lacoste and the Porcelain Polo, for which I was consulted. My piece on this in China International Business also appeared recently. Check two pages back on Stylites for the posts in which I cover Li Xiaofeng, Lacoste and the 2010 Holiday Collector’s Series.

This must be the most pleasing example of the retro China trend I mentioned in another post. This artist seems like a perfect Bye Bye Disco customer.

25 Top People in China Fashion Industry
Here, from Forbes, is an interesting slide show of the most important figures in the Chinese fashion industry. Xander Zhou is the only one on the list who has been on Stylites. I don’t know if “fashionista” is the right word for most of these people.

Will Luxury Customers get Taste?
This article discusses the possible two-pronged approach that luxury companies will have to take to customers in Western and Asian markets. Apparently Chinese, Japanese, and Middle Eastern buyers are not terribly excited about logo-less bags.
At the Vega Wang Media Opening

The sparkling rosé was quite nice. Madame Figaro editor Zhang Shen was among the glamorous media guests, but she was drinking water out of a champagne flute. She had to head back to the office after the party.
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.

Details Count for Vega
Photos by Teresa Yeh
Just count the details. Fashion designer Vega Zaishi Wang thoughtfully considers the tasteful little touches in all parts of her life including music, elixirs, and of course the cuts of the garments she creates. This 1930s radio, produced in Shanghai by a company called Panda, and the other decor in her first Jianwai Soho shop, just opening this week, are a testament to her quirky, distinctive style. The well-curated, compact space is comfortable and airy with high ceilings resulting from gutting of the second floor.
