Questioning the Showiness

Also at the IT event, Aviva is the senior editor of p1.cn
. Originally from Chongqing, she loves to travel and shop vintage – everything she is wearing is from secondhand shops. She commented that many international and foreign brands are prioritizing the Chinese market and “people and brands in Beijing’s fashion circle love to show off, but most in her country remain very poor”. While most in the circle think expensive is better, Aviva likes a more personal approach to style and as well as fashion that those who “are not so rich can also enjoy”.

She seems to be a bit of a leftie. To me, it always seemed a bit inconsistent that fashion types aren’t more on the right.

A New Style Icon?一个新的Style Icon?

If Weibo (China’s twitter) is any gauge, the real style icon of the Lane Crawford x Opening Ceremony event this past Saturday was less Chloë Sevigny than aspiring actress Xin Yuan. I posted this photo on Weibo on Sunday and it has already been passed on (@ed) 103 times. This is, of course, just one of many photos circulating on Weibo of this young actress. Her dress is designed by a Beijing-based brand called Chictopia.

Not in Burberry没有穿Burberry


Photos and Text：Suzy

I know there has been quite a lot here about Burberry, but it was the biggest event in the brand’s longish history and we had two people from Stylites taking photos. The FT has a nice sum-up. Burberry brought Keane, Prada brought the Petshop Boys a couple months ago. Next, I hope some fashion brand will fly David Bowie out. He is rather more important for fashion.

Anyway, let’s see who wasn’t wearing Burberry. Above is GQ Fashion Editor Fashion Editor Dan Cui a high-collared shirt and a dotted Dior Homme jacket.

Photographer Sunny chose a “replica” Hermès scarf. Her main purpose in coming to the event was seeing her favourite singer, Hong Kong star Eason Chan. I wasn’t able to determine how many replicas of Burberry items there were at the event.

In Burberry


Photos：Suzy

Many people were wearing the latest threads from Burberry. The Vogue EIC Angelica Cheung was wearing the exact same coat that night.

Many items seemed to be from the now available Spring 2011 collection, the theme of which was “heritage biker”. For this collection, designer Christopher Bailey was inspired by biker gear created by Thomas Burberry in the early 1900s. We will try to find out how many of these items are purchased at the full Mainland price. For the time being, have a look at this piece our friends at JingDaily have on the price discrepancy between the Mainland and abroad.

Photographed above at the Burberry event, ghostly actress Fan Bingbing leads off a Jing Daily list of China’s growing number of “A-list” style icons garnering international attention for their dress sense. Not one of these brand enveloped individuals has been on Stylites as it turns out.

It wasn’t just the usual fashion people: there were hipsters too. The grand event celebrating the opening of Burberry’s new flagship was at a venue not frequently used for fashion parties, Beijing Television Centre. Featured was the British band Keane, performing for the first time in China. Jing Daily has more analysis on the digital component of the event. You can see the video from the event just below. This was the first time that Stylites featured live live streaming of an event. Here are Yitrends creator Alice McInerney and Polish radio Tomasz Sajewicz.
