Comme des Garçons had a photography exhibit at the I.T. Gallery.  There were numerous fashionistas whose photos I could have taken, but my flash was being uncooperative again and there was also much distracting champagne.  Edie Bao is a reporter for Milk Magazine, and she did name herself after the beauty of Warhol’s Factory.  Like all the other galleries at 798, I.T. is in a former factory.  Was Warhol’s Factory ever a real factory or was it just a large studio?

Rather appropriately, Charley Kan, National Creative Director and Managing Director for MEC China, is wearing a Comme des Garçons hat.  He is in charge of a fashion PR company that is going to be especially busy in the run-up to the Olympics.
