Xander Zhou in Paris

You never know who you will meet walking down the rue Saint-Honoré. A few paces away from Colette, Beijing-based fashion designer Xander Zhou was on his way back to drinks with friends after hitting Lanvin. He said he came more to shop than to see fashion week. The world is small.

Zhang Chi å¼ é©°

I can’t believe that Zhang Chi has not appeared on Stylites before. A very Beijing sort of boy from accent to attitude, Zhang Chi went to the UK to study at 16 and later pursued a master’s degree in Milan, Italy, at Istituto Marangoni. Returning to China in 2010, his collections have shown at China Fashion Week. One of his main themes is a medieval knight brought up to the 21st century. I suspect we will have a more in-depth interview with him here in the near future.
