The sparkling rosé was quite nice.   Madame Figaro editor Zhang Shen was among the glamorous media guests, but she was drinking water out of a champagne flute.  She had to head back to the office after the party.

Astana, Kazakhstan, now has the world’s biggest tent, a city-within-a-city called Khan Shatyr.  To celebrate the completion of this monumental edifice and the new global prominence of Kazakhstan’s frigid, futuristic capital, Stylites’ Liang Cheng interviewed Siko, a fashion student from Astana.

I recently ran into Amy, who is still rather red, but now working for Renren Wang, one of China’s leading social networking sites.

I encountered this lovely young cartoonist on Nanluoguxiang.  She is actually a local Beijinger.

You never know who you will meet walking down the rue Saint-Honoré.  A few paces away from Colette, Beijing-based fashion designer Xander Zhou was on his way back to drinks with friends after hitting Lanvin.  He said he came more to shop than to see fashion week.  The world is small.

The amount of black really shows off the pink to great advantage on this young architectural student.  In her hand is a flier for her boyfriend’s VJ performance.  This is among the first photos that appeared in the new street style section that I am doing for《VOGUE服饰与美容》. See the July issue at newstands now

Gutsy, funky, no-holds-barred Lin Lin seems eternally ready to be on a street style blog.  Expert on all things imaginatively hip, she is creator of Jellymon.  Her skirt in this pic is actually made out of a sweater that she bought in a London thrift store.

Currie Lee opened D-SATA, a store in Beijing, carrying her creations, which include colorful party purses and card holders, made of snake and frog skin, and chunky necklaces made from water buffalo horns, to name a few.  Yu Wu (吴俣) had a discussion with her recently.

YW: Are you a Westerner?

Currie Lee创立自己的品牌D-SATA在北京。第一个店在三里屯。

YW: Currie你算是西方人还是亚洲人？

Who did I encounter at the electronic music festival but this sweet pair of designers?

Amy is a retro kind of girl.  She hopes to live in a courtyard nearby Nanluoguxiang and shops at the secondhand market.  From Qingdao, she studied design in Beijing and now works as a designer at Wanda Place.  I have a pair of red brogues just like hers except in suede.

梵米米在青岛出生，在北京学习设计，现在在做设计师。 她“偏爱具有时光感和魔术师风格的衣物，一般不看牌子 只选单品”。 她一般在外贸店和旧货市场买东西。现在她很想搬到平房住因为她很喜欢北京的老城。

I can’t believe that Zhang Chi has not appeared on Stylites before.  A very Beijing sort of boy from accent to attitude, Zhang Chi went to the UK to study at 16 and later pursued a master’s degree in Milan, Italy, at Istituto Marangoni.  Returning to China in 2010, his collections have shown at China Fashion Week.  One of his main themes is a medieval knight brought up to the 21^st century.  I suspect we will have a more in-depth interview with him here in the near future.

Ziggy is a fashion design student at Qinghua.

Off the normal fashion week schedule was the Robe Di Kappa show. Kevin Tallon from St Martin’s Design Laboratory of London headed the team that created one of the strongest collections of the week from the perspectives of theme consistency, innovation in fabrication and cut, and integrity of design.

Robe Di Kappa 这次时装秀的时间和不在正常的时装周日程上。由Kevin Tallon率领的伦敦圣马丁设计工作室带来的设计是这一周表现力最强的设计之一，主题一致，裁剪和制作上极富创意，设计简洁连贯。
