On Travel Channel Tonight at 9:45

Watch the Travel Channel (旅游卫视）tonight at 9:45, Beijing time, to see a profile of me. Here is the trailer and you should be able to watch it live here, though this doesn’t seem to work on my machine.

Duan Yanling is the host of “Cheers for Creativity” (创享2018 in Chinese), a program featuring profiles of designers, editors and other creative types.

Vacation

I am now on a well-known island chain southeast of Florida with my parents and infrequent internet access. Regular programming will return soon. My apologies for the paucity of posts.

The Wealthiest Town on Earth

Some readers have commented that my posts of Beijing street fashion have been less frequent in recent months. Thanks to my valued collaborator in this blog, Suzy, this hasn’t brought down the number of photos appearing here by too much.

In fact, these days I spend a good portion of my time outside of Beijing and am often outside of China as well. A recent trip that I found particularly interesting was to Huaxi, in Jiangsu province. Huaxi was celebrating its 50th anniversary as a village and invited over ten-thousand people for the party.

Here is a night view from my room of the “village”. This is how I imagined Chinese cities would look when I was little.

Huaxi even bosts its own version of Tiananmen. They did not reproduce the portrait of Chairman Mao. I suggested to several locals that the architect of the Huaxi dream, Wu Renbao, ought to be on the village’s Tiananmen.

My Weibo

If you want Stylites in Chinese, I suggest following my Weibo Microblog. If you’re not aware, Sina’s Weibo is China’s twitter. I update there about five times a day on a whole range of topics.

In Newsweek提到了我在Newsweek

Newsweek Beijing Bureau chief Melinda Liu mentioned Stylites and me in her latest piece called “Chinese Fashion Empire”, which gives a nice overview of the development from Mao Suits to Diane Von Furstenberg.

Thanks to CHART Contemporary for putting me in touch with Melinda.Melinda Liu这偏文章“Chinese Fashion Kingdom”在美国Newsweek 提到我。 她采访我的时候我讲了关于中国时尚界最近的个性化。我的意思是现在中国时尚消费者现在已经不是名牌簇拥者。非常感谢Chart Contemporary的安排。

刚到了附罗丽达州。在这里的沙滩旁边会住一段时间。这周我会写点关于我今年在北京关注到的几个潮流。

On Crossover

Yesterday, I appeared with designer Candy Lin of Candy and Caviar on CCTV9’s “Crossover” with Eyee Hsu. There to offer my insights on Candy’s designs and the fashion world, I was exhausted since it was filmed on the morning after the Lacoste party. Perhaps finding that I wasn’t a particularly brilliant commentator, they decided midway to use me as a model. So watch to the end.
