Gaga’s Little Brother
On Weibo (China’s Twitter), he is being compared to Lady Gaga and is even described being as her little brother.
Revealing All
Right before the Chi Zhang show, I imagine she was alerting a friend regarding the humidity, huge number of spectators, or extreme styles.
Leaving the Tank
This big former chemical tank at 798 has hosted numerous events including those for Tod’s and Mont Blanc. Exiting it after the Chi Zhang show is Super VC bassist Zhen Yang, a regular on Stylites.
The Face of Change
Things are happening so fast in China today – or at least that is the cliché.
On Topic
Bazaar stylist Anan dressed appropriately for the Zhang Chi show, which was help in the converted chemical tank in 798 area. She stands in front of it.
Unmasked
Now without a gas mask, here is one of the models from the Chi Zhang show last night.
Colors of Intro

Here is my last batch of photos from Intro.
For me, this is retro. It reminds me of the the sort of image one might have seen three years ago on the cover of a report by some hip consultancy on consumption patterns in trends of youth in China. I guess it is the short, dyed hair that does it, plus the slightly inscrutable confidence.
Shark Attack
The singer Queen Sea Big Shark, she was just shot by renowned photographer Mario Testino for a profile likely to appear in the September issue of US Vogue. As you may have heard, there was an unprecedentedly huge delegation from that magazine in town last week interviewing, photographing, and generally making a footprint here in China. China is going to be one of the main themes for Vogue’s thickest issue of 2011.
Onesie-ish Suits

I wouldn’t have quite expected this trend.

Music events like Intro give the fashion crowd the perfect occasion to strut their stuff.

A Sunny Intro

Both days at Intro Music Festival were very sunny and warm. Everyone was out in their attention-grabbing shades.
At Wuhao
Here is PR executive Tina at Wuhao, which may have the very most attractive setting of any concept shop in the world.
Big Red Coat
She studies fashion design here in Beijing.
Dramatic Designer
This young fashion designer is wearing his own creations.
The Workman
He is a photographer who just graduated from university.
Final From Strawberry
Okay, I realize it has taken me nearly two weeks to put up all the photos from Strawberry. This should be the last batch.
Dots and Flowers
Just as solids – especially black – is the norm at fashion parties, polka dots, floral prints and other patterns predominate at music festivals.
Grand old Flag
But some just chose more patriotic patterns. Actually she had not considered the reference to the American flag until I mentioned it. Most commentators on Weibo also said that it would not have struck them though one mentioned that it is easier to draw inspiration from fashions of recent decades of America’s history than China’s. As I understand it, wearing the Chinese flag is not allowed.
A Red Strawberry
I know it was over a week ago, but I still have a huge trove of un-posted Strawberry Festival photos that I think are quite interesting. The love of red was very evident on this occasion.
