Flea Marketer

Yesterday, despite the strong winds, a horde of hip retro kids migrated to northeastern Beijing for a vintage flea market.  The setting was the yard around 2 Kolegas, one of the city’s best known rock bars located in a former drive-in movie theater that never made it commercially.

Charmmy is fashion design student who also sells vintage clothes at markets like this and on Taobao shops for men and women.

The Man-like Machine

There is a certain thingamajig at 798 that often appears in my photos, so I thought I would give it a post of its own.  It does kind of look like two people.

Here are Jeffrey and Nik nearby it.

GQ Editor Dan Cui is considered by many in the field to be one of the most talented editors of a men’s magazine. We also ran into him at the Burberry event back in April. He is wearing a coat by Dries van Noten.

The Xander Zhou show was really the occasion for the boys to strut their stuff.

A fashion designer,  Zhang Huishan is a devoted Yohji Yamamoto fan. He was lucky enough to get his hands on this coat during a sample sale.  This coat was also on the runway in black, naturally.

Hong Kong brand Joyce just opened its biggest store yet in the mall at the Summit Wing of the Beijing’s World Trade Center.

In the crowd of revelers was Jian Cui, who has transferred out of magazines and into online fashion retail.

There are so many of those pre-tied “strap-on” bow ties going around these days.  I think Men’s Leon editor Ricky might be the first person I’ve seen in Beijing who knows how to tie a real bow tie.

Boys at Izzue

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!

Izzue‘s Fall/Winter 2011 fashion show that was held this friday in 798 started with a great soundtrack and ended with a bang. Beijing’s local Indie stars Queen Sea Big Shark played a rocking set that had all the hipsters dancing or a at least tapping their feet.

Candy Strand Skirt

A Stylites post was recently featured on a tumblr called Wearing the pants that collects pictures of women wearing menswear-inspired outfits. For women, such styles have long been fashionable, whereas the man-skirt still turns heads and seems a bit provocative. Also at the David Ubl event, fashion designer Xiao Qiao’s colourful number was created by a friend of his.

This past Saturday, German designer David Ubl presented his summer collection at Beijing rooftop terrace bar The Beach. Unfortunately due to rainy weather, the show was transferred inside. This did not stop the city’s fashion folk from dressing up as their usual chic selves. Here is Chictopia Designer Qing Yang who already appeared on Stylites during this summer’s festival season.
