Continuing to blog for Benetton’s “It’s My Time” campaign, I just wrote about the trend toward China retro and Bye Bye Disco, the shop on Nanluoguxiang started by the New Pants keyboardist Pang Kuan (庞宽) and girlfriend Pei Pei (孙配配), who was on Stylites earlier.

For it’s casting campaign It’s My Time (in which Stylites is a partner), Benetton is doing a casting event on Mar 6 and 7 at the named-sans-irony  Shanghai Super Brand Mall.  If you are in Shanghai at the time, stop by.  More information in Chinese on douban.com. Or you can send an email with contact information and picture to this email: castingbenetton@googlemail.com.

I’m blogging now for the Benetton It’s My Time Campaign, which seems in line with what I do on Stylites. Like them, my focus may begin with fashion, but the broader goal is always about telling stories of people here in Beijing.

My blogging with them over the next month or so will give some of the people appearing on Stylites a new place to express their styles, viewpoints and aspirations. However, my first entry is on something a bit different.  I decided to discuss the top ten trends for 2010 and beyond.  Everyone has to try their hand at the whole forecasting thing once in a while.  Among my trends are “hip holidays” and “iconoclastic simplicity” but please check out the rest here.
