Hopes are high for the upcoming spring, but it seems that cute sweaters like this one from emerging young designer Momo Wang‘s latest collection could work as transitional pieces too.

Summer might be wrapping up, but daytime in Beijing can still be quite hot.
More from Meridian
Many of my pals, like Queenie, were at the Meridian party. It’s nice that I often get to take care of the invitation lists for events. I took most of the photos in an empty room to the side of the main venue space. Right north of the art museum in Dongcheng District, this would be a great space for fashion events.
At Meridian Party
I cannot believe that it has already been four years since I first met Fanfan when she walking down Nanluoguxiang in full Dongzu garb. It’s amazing to think how much has changed.
She and I were attending the launch party of Meridian, an event intended to introduce this new organization to the Beijing creative community and to celebrate the publication of their first illustrated children’s books.
Zoetica Mops up the Hutongs
A well-known stylist, photographer, and general provocateur, US-based Zoetica Ebb just touched down in Beijing. I am excited to be working with her and the Frei Group on creating the Secret Guide to Alternative Beijing.

Joining Jam Bar as part of the new fleamarket mini-trend, School Bar in Wudaoying Hutong hosted their first event this past Saturday. I came a little late and the vendors had already started packing up but I was lucky to meet lovely Claire on their breezy upstairs terrace.

Breathless in Beijing

Maybe it’s the gamine haircut, the striped dress, or the smile, but she really reminds me of Jean Seberg in Breathless. The timeless and jaunty style of Godard’s first feature film comes to Jam Bar. Wang Xiaolv is also one of the two chatting hipstresses in this photo.

Today commemorates the birth of the American nation and the one day set aside each year where overt displays of patriotism are not only welcomed, but encouraged. On this day the American flag T-shirt paired with cornflower blue trousers and bright white sandals—what I imagine Uncle Sam would wear on summer vacation—would not be in minority among the crowds of flag-waving parade goers.
