Stylites

A New Style Icon?一个新的Style Icon?

If Weibo (China’s twitter) is any gauge, the real style icon of the Lane Crawford x Opening Ceremony event this past Saturday was less Chloë Sevigny than aspiring actress Xin Yuan.  I posted this photo on Weibo on Sunday and it has already been passed on (@ed) 103 times.  This is, of course, just one of many photos circulating on Weibo of this young actress.  Her dress is designed by a Beijing-based brand called Chictopia.

Not in Burberry没有穿Burberry

I know there has been quite a lot here about Burberry, but it was the biggest event in the brand’s longish history and we had two people from Stylites taking photos.  The FT has a nice sum-up.  Burberry brought Keane, Prada brought the Petshop Boys a couple months ago.  Next, I hope some fashion brand will fly David Bowie out.  He is rather more important for fashion.

Anyway, let’s see who wasn’t wearing Burberry.  Above is GQ Fashion Editor Fashion Editor Dan Cui a high-collared shirt and a dotted Dior Homme jacket.

Photographer Sunny chose a “replica” Hermès scarf.  Her main purpose in coming to the event was seeing her favourite singer, Hong Kong star Eason Chan.  I wasn’t able to determine how many replicas of Burberry items there were at the event.

In Burberry


Photos:Suzy

Many people were wearing the latest threads from Burberry. The Vogue EIC Angelica Cheung was wearing the exact same coat that night.

Many items seemed to be from the now available Spring 2011 collection, the theme of which was “heritage biker”. For this collection, designer Christopher Bailey was inspired by biker gear created by Thomas Burberry in the early 1900s. We will try to find out how many of these items are purchased at the full Mainland price.  For the time being, have a look at this piece our friends at JingDaily have on the price discrepancy between the Mainland and abroad.

It wasn’t just the usual fashion people: there were hipsters too. The grand event celebrating the opening of Burberry’s new flagship was at a venue not frequently used for fashion parties, Beijing Television Centre.  Featured was the British band Keane, performing for the first time in China. Jing Daily has more analysis on the digital component of the event.  You can see the video from the event just below.  This was the first time that Stylites featured live live streaming of an event. Here are Yitrends creator Alice McInerney and Polish radio Tomasz Sajewicz.

Purple Labeler

If I were doing this blog in NYC, I might not take a picture of this fellow.  However, it Beijing I have never seen anyone, Chinese foreign, dressed this way.  He is wearing a Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit and tie.  Very nice, though a pocket square might not hurt.

如果在纽约做这样的博客不一定会拍他,但在北京从来没见过穿这样服装的人 - 不管是外国人还是中国人。
