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.

Here is anther well-dressed fellow that I met in 798.  He is standing in front of the legendary “tank” that hosts so many fashion events.

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.

这位设计师是在七匹狼秀之后碰到的。这里有那个秀的图片。

Visiting from HK, Jimmy is one of the top designers of Izzue, a falgship brand for Hong Kong’s massive I.T. group.  Izzue is expanding rapidly in China, and has outlets in Thailand, Malaysia, Macau, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia.

Jimmy is know for his often gothic-influenced, edgy, very androgynous designs for both men and women.  London, where he studied fashion, is also a key influence.  We will have a longer interview with Jimmy here next time he comes to Beijing.

Jimmy是Izzue主要的设计师之一。

Hermès’ J’aime mon Carre made the brand seem less stodgy and silk scarves appear less the province of the aged.  I have indeed met many younger girls who think Hermès scarves make them look middle-aged, so they were right to launch this initiative.

这个女孩是给爱马仕工作的。我见过不少年轻女孩觉得爱马仕丝巾应该只是中年女人系的。爱马仕这个活动是为了教年轻人怎么系，同时也可以让中国青年人知道爱马仕是个很特别的品牌。我觉得这个活动很成功还比别的活动更好玩，更轻松。我个人现在确实更愿意买爱马仕丝巾和领带。

The party for men’s Leon （男人风尚）provided a nice barrage of sartorially-incliined Beijing men.  More to follow.

Angy does public relations for Kappa, working frequently with my friend Kevin Tallon, the top creative there.

This past week, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were in Shanghai for the last party in a world tour to promote a new series of tee-shirts that celebrate 25 years of Naomi Campbell in the modelling business.  Always one of the more internet-conscious fashion brands, Dolce and Gabbana invited stylites to photograph the invent.  Unfortunately, I had obligations in Beijing, so I wasn’t able to make it down.  Stylites contributors Tomasz Sajewicz and Pheobe Wu attended the event on my behalf.

Swide has more photos from the event and here is more on the special edition teeshirts.
