One doesn’t normally think of general managers of hotels as particular exemplars of cool, but in my job I run across quite a few of them, I decided to a do a shoot for my magazine of the small bunch that actually have a bit of flare. This shoot for LifeStyle by Teresa Yeh, a long-term collaborator, included, among others, Joe Ho and Francois Vanvi. Jeffrey Ying, an important business associate of Stylites, has also been busy recently.

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.
我在《时尚旅游》的专æ 出æ¥äº†ï¼
The August issue of National Geographic Traveler has hit news stands throughout China. It contains my first column on China-based stylish travelers. This four page pictorial and interview will feature monthly in the magazine for at least the next few issues. Profiled will be one male and one female traveler in travel garb and photos of the items most essential to them on that long trip. First up are TV host Cao Difei and designer Currie Lee.
This feature of mine seeks to inspire travelers to appear more elegant while moving toward their destinations. I am echoing the common complaint that travel has became too “commercial” and unglamorous.

Ferarri Shoot for《ä¸å›½æ±½è½¦ç”»æŠ¥ã€‹
China Auto Pictorial had me find a few stylish people around Nanluoguxiang and take pictures of them with this Ferarri Enzo. Check out their August issue!
Unsurprisingly, I not only do not own a car, but also actively oppose the auto culture which so perverted the landscape of the United States and is now making life in Beijing more and more unbearable. My thoughts are similar to the editor who assisted me on this. Of course the issue is more complicated than just saying “I oppose cars”. I also thought it would be proper to acknowledge here China’s status as the world’s newest and potentially greatest Automobile Kingdom.
