NYC Fashion Week

What amazes me is how similar the fashion set here in NYC seems to be to the one in Beijing, both in dress and in personality. The styles are as global as the affectations. I think the surprising thing is less that the NYC people are the way they are, but that the Beijing people have so rapidly studied. I would imagine that just five years ago, Beijing had a much smaller fashion scene.
