At the Tennis Club

At the Lacoste SS ’11 preview, a fashion editor probably checking the location for the next media event. PR company Adventi again found an interesting venue, an indoor tennis court that was entered through an air-lock.

这次Lacoste的2011春夏新品预览又是在一个很有意思的场地:博德维网球俱乐部。

Fellows at Y-3 Opening

Adidas/Yohji Yamamoto collaboration brand Y-3 just opened at new boutique in Beijing’s most visited and highest rent shopping mall, Shin-Kong Place. Beijing’s fashion editors, particularly the boys, were out in their cutting-edge best.

Editor and Stylist

And what a cute pair they are! Ingrid is an editor at a major fashion magazine and Paul is a stylist at Beijing’s premier multi-brand fashion boutique. I was happy to see quite a few “fashion types” at La Ville en Rouge, our party celebrating the launch of Tally Beck Contemporary’s gallery in NYC.

Gender-Bending, at Theory

At the opening of the new Theory flagship in Sanlitun Village, North, this editor is engaging in what might be called “pragmatic” gender bending – in contrast to conceptual or subversive gender bending. Perhaps pragmatic is not the ideal word.

在美国希尔瑞在三里屯北的开幕式,这个编辑搞的是一种”实用主义“的性别弯曲 – 不是一种很概念行的或者非主流的性别弯曲。

Denim Director

Kan Deng, the Creative Director/Fashion Director at Grazia, switches up the ties and the sport coats, but he has been keeping to a denim shirt the last few times I have seen him. Kan’s styles were picked up when he was in Paris, too.

《红秀》的创意总监兼创意总监邓堪最近都会换领带和外套但每次都会穿件牛仔衫。巴黎的一个网站也派过堪。

More stories on the Phillip Lim show at Dongbianmen from Style.com and stylelist.com. These websites really have names like mine.

Velvet Slippers

Queenie of the Jungle

Cat has been so unbelievably popular in Beijing in the last year. I even commissioned a leopard print dress shirt, that I wear with a repp tie and suit, just to attempt to keep up with the trend. Here is Time Out editor Queenie, prowling through the jungle that is Beijing. Can she be dominant here?

Another Party at Vega’s

The last party was the media event. This time the hipster masses came to celebrate the opening of Vega Wang’s shop.

And here is designer Zhang Chi ready for the return of heavy heat. Beijing has been in the mid-thirties again.
