One always wonders whether certain stripes or checks can be put in the same outfit. I never even consider putting two different polka dot patterns together, but it seems to work here.

Here again is Ro from the sweetest designer pair in Beijing.
Happy Birthday to my Mother
I know that she checks here regularly and will see this. I thank her for that as well as the other support she has provided me throughout my life.
For All Ages
This editor is from the magazine 1626, which focuses on readers in the age range of 16 to 26. I might be doing a column for them in the near future.
I have another friend who is the publisher of 0086 (0086 is the country code for China). He commented that his magazine is for everyone between 0 and 86.
Here’s another editor from that magazine.
Top Five Stylites Viewing Cities
Here is a ranking of the top five cities from which visits to this site originate:
1. Beijing
2. Shanghai
3. Hong Kong
4. New York
5. London
To the Lower Tiers!
While Zara, Uniqlo, and H&M race to dominate Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities that you have heard of, Forbes reports that local fast fashion brands like ME&CITY and URBANEIGHTDAY are expanding even more rapidly in second, third and forth tier cities. Interestingly, these brands are relying on Western “it” celebrities for their marketing. I must confess that I have not been to the shops of any of these brands. I believe there is a ME&CITY in Xidan.

Back in London
Am back in London for a spell and haven’t had a chance to upload the latest pics. I will do so very soon though.

A Top China Blog
Thanks to Jing Daily for including me in its list of the top five China fashion bloggers. Amusing that beyond being the only non-Chinese on this list, I am the only male. This story was picked up by the Business of Fashion and The New York Times Fashion and Style Section.
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.

This must be the most pleasing example of the retro China trend I mentioned in another post. This artist seems like a perfect Bye Bye Disco customer.

25 Top People in China Fashion Industry
Here, from Forbes, is an interesting slide show of the most important figures in the Chinese fashion industry. Xander Zhou is the only one on the list who has been on Stylites. I don’t know if “fashionista” is the right word for most of these people.
