At Tod’s Party, 798

I didn’t make the eagerly awaited “Italian Dream” Tod’s party, because I had organized my own party, but Suzy was there to photograph there for Stylites. A high-profile event held at fashion square at 798, actresses Zhou Xun and Marisa Tomei were there as well as Tod’s CEO and founder Diego Della Valle. Broadwayworld.com has pictures of the celebrity attendees and the WSJ Magazine has an interesting on Mr. Della Valle and Tod’s in Asia.

这应该是tod’s到现在在中国最大的活动吧？这次活动在798的时装广场。这次我没发去因为做了自己的活动，但suzy帮我派了几张照片。

Denim Director

Kan Deng, the Creative Director/Fashion Director at Grazia, switches up the ties and the sport coats, but he has been keeping to a denim shirt the last few times I have seen him. Kan’s styles were picked up when he was in Paris, too.

《红秀》的创意总监兼创意总监邓堪最近都会换领带和外套但每次都会穿件牛仔衫。巴黎的一个网站也派过堪。

By the City Wall

Before the Phillip Lim show at Dongbianmen, this man seems like someone with power, money or both. In China, it is rare to see such people wearing so many colors.

Also, Stylites coverage of the Phillip Lim 3.1 fifth anniversary events was just mentioned in this piece on Jing Daily, which also explains more of the reason for the presence of this designer here in Beijing. Here is another piece from the Jing Daily on the rise of Chinese American designers.

After Comme des Garçons

There are quite a few editors from China here at Paris Fashion Week Men’s Spring-Summer 2011. Tang Le is a fashion editor at Men’s Bazaar (《芭莎男士》) was at Kris Van Assche and Comme des Garçons. I met him again at the Lacoste party for the Li Xiaofeng polos at the Musée des Arts et Métiers. His favorite show at fashion week was Louis Vuitton.

More Men at agnès b.

Designer Xander Zhou (周翔宇) thought the agnès b. show as good. His avant-garde designs blur gender, geographic, and subcultural lines in startling ways, but it is rare that I see a piece from him that I can imagine on my own back.

设计师周翔宇觉得agnès b.的时装秀不错。他的前卫设计以惊人的方式模糊了性别，地域，以及亚文化的线条，但少见的是这次我看他穿的那件无衬 里的现代感十足的真丝男装便服我便想像自己穿上是什么样子。

Smokers at Versace

The Versace SS ’10 show was held in a former factory at 798, which was also the venue for much of Beijing Fashion Week. The reception brought out Beijing’s most stylish editors, stylists, PR executives, and creatives and most of them lit up. It seems the relationship between fashion, champagne and cigarettes is international and enduring.

Here are an actress and a director.

Justin represents Y3 and other brands in China.

The green machines are the centerpiece of this venue.

Boyz at Vogue Night Out

Xander Zhou (周翔宇) was one of a huge crowd of celebrities attending fashion for Anna Wintour’s Fashion’s Night Out. All eyes have been on this young fashion designer since he guest edited the August “Gay China” issue of media sorceress Hong Huang’s (洪晃) fashion magazine “ILOOK” (more at Gayographic and China Hush). Though there have been many smaller gay-friendly publications opening and closing over the last decade, this was the first time a mainstream magazine made nature’s bachelors and their role in fashion the focus of an issue. I met Xander last at a fabric store in Muxiyuan.

Also at the Vogue party in the basement of the World Trade Center was Beijing brit-rock band Super VC (at a Burberry event). There were huge crowds and droves of celebrities making more stylites photos during the after-party up at Aria difficult.

Vivienne Westwood Socks at Dita Opening

sultry babe-6

Love this, mainly because they seem like a chic version of the notorious nylon pop socks, favored by so many in this city – though the wearers seem to become older and older as the youth become generally hipper. The hated skin-colored pop socks are also often paired with strappy footwear, typically of the plastic variety.

They were sighted on this editor (I am not allowed to mention the names and publications of others in the magazine business) at the opening party for Beijing’s first Dita shop at Huamao. Most of the glasses on sale are made in Japan as part of collaboration between Dita and the venerable brand Masunaga. Read more on Dita at High Snobiety.

Chaoyangmen Subway Station Blues

I just encountered Adam, a rather remarkable fellow who will be blessing Xicheng district with his gentle but quirky charm for the next two weeks. He is a Wushu practitioner who is, rather amazingly, just back from teaching this Chinese martial art in Shanxi. Fluent in Persian, French and English, this LA-born half-Iranian has become quite good at Chinese after just a month in this country.

The all blue, all linen (besides the gator shoes) ensemble includes a sport coat from Armani and trousers from Comme des Garçons.

A Pleasant Editor

Also at the Bulgari party, Shanghaiese Lina Deng is Associate Publisher and Editorial Director at Chinese Marie Claire, which must be the most “intelligent” fashion magazine available for women. She has a more appealing demeaner than many of the top editors at other major fashion magazines. She is wearing an Alexander Mcqueen dress and a very unique necklace, though I forget the brand.
