Star Professionals

_-2-22

These two public relations executives show what us that there is nothing stuffy or square about being a young professional in Beijing today. Sometimes I feel an injection of some stuffiness or traditionalism of some type (I guess it’s not traditionalism here) would feel fresh in this environment. In all likelihood, they are even more fashion-forward and sexy than their colleagues who work in the New York or London branches of the same company, which I think was Hill and Knowlton or perhaps one of the other daughters of WPP. For the gentleman, I would prefer a longer jacket and perhaps the color navy, but black and short are the way to go these days in Beijing. If you are young, why not wear a shorter jacket? Altogether a sassy and appealing pair.
