This slightly intimidating duo is studying fashion design.

By the Tanks
This photographer and stylist was out in full grandeur by the various contraptions at 798 during fashion week.
The Front Row at Simon Gao
Well-known actor Li Chen is wearing a suit from the same collection of Simon Gao that he was watching from the front row. The material is 100% silk and the pattern is something of a polka dot, though I am looking forward to having the opportunity to see it up close in the workshop.
The presence of Simon Gao on the Mercedes-Benz China Fashion Week schedule was notable because have not previously been younger, hipper designers represented at the event. The tendency had been for figures like Xander Zhou, Zhang Chi, Vega Wang, etc. to do their own events off-location either during the Week or at other times of the year. Most of the designers that show at China’s premier fashion week are from larger and inevitably far dowdier brands, design schools, or just people who seem to have really good connections with government.
Outside Simon Gao Show
This design student was outside of the Simon Gao show. I am trying to remember the name of that pattern that is on his shirt. I suppose it wouldn’t be categorized as some kind of Arabesque.
At Joyce x ID Event
This filmstar was the first person who caught my eye. This event was one of the first of the many that will be surrounding China Fashion Week this year.
Boys at Izzue
Photos&Text: Suzy
At Izzue FW 2011, the show was terrific, the music great and the ladies very lovely. But the gents were particularly well-dressed. We know that the art of adding a little detail to a suit-and-shirt combo can bring an edge to any outfit, creating personal style. I found some who have developed this sartorial skill almost to perfection and really don’t need much presentation. Enjoy!

Tianjin Textures

Jacy is a fashion design student at the Raffles Design Institute of Tianjin. His earth-coloured combination was true eye candy in a sea of dressy black and colour blocked outfits and high high heels during the Young Designers Fashion show which took place this thursday at Financial Street’s Seasons Place.
More from Ilaria在Ilaria的秀之后
A bit late, but here are some of the pics from the Ilaria show. She is a young lady from Hong Kong working for a major advertising company.
Ilaria’s DesignerIlaria的设计师
Antonio Bandini is the designer for Ilaria. He used to work under Valentino. His coat is from Prada, though I think he fastened the bow-tie on the lapel. Currently there are no plans for an Ilaria menswear collection though China might be a better place if there were. There isn’t really a local brand for boys that is stylish – but not painfully avant-garde like the work of most young designers – in high-quality fabrics and simple cuts.
Despite the name, the brand Ilaria is based in China and founded by a Chinese woman, though the designer is Mr. Bandini, an Italian. Here are pics of the looks that were on show. “>Here are pics of the looks that were on show. The founder of the brand Ms. Ilaria He formerly lived in Italy.
After Septwolves七匹狼之后
This dandyish individual was quite unimpressed by the Septwolves show. Click here for pictures of all the looks. Several editors I spoke with nearby were also very negative, saying if they were going to copy Western shows, the Fujian-based brand should have at least copied well.

On the Red Carpet在红地毯上
After the Septwolves by Daniel Faret show, she works in sales at Bazaar but one suspects she might have worked formerly as a model or perhaps still be doing part time work. Links to pics from that show to come.

The Photographers
Here is one of the photographers at China Fashion Week.
A Well-Covered Fashion Week
Photos: Suzy
Most spectators at China Fashion Week were not as stylish as the average shopper Sanlitun Village let alone the guests at most fashion parties hosted by foreign brands. Most days at 798 or Beijing Hotel, one could hardly spot the up-to-style bloggers, editorialistas or models with fashion accessories straight off the runway – images so familiar in Paris, New York and Milan. Only the number of media, though almost entirely local, approached international levels.
大部分来中国国际时装周的人没有一般在三里屯逛街的人穿得时尚 － 更没法跟在北京参加时尚活动的人比。这个跟纽约、巴黎和米兰的时装周完全不一样。只有媒体人的数量可以跟国外的时装周比。
Model Prefers Berries
Cabbeen’s collection won him the overall award for best designer at this year’s fashion week, and Wang Yutao won it for menswear. Model Sean was in both shows and he says he prefers the Wang Yutao’s collection for Beauty Berry.
