This design student was outside of the Simon Gao show. I am trying to remember the name of that pattern that is on his shirt. I suppose it wouldn’t be categorized as some kind of Arabesque.

Authentically Beijing?
This is the Beijing I love: welcoming, diverse, cutely bohemian, vibrant, international in its own quirky way, and, of course, smoking. Sure, you might say they are poseurs, but then, I am looking for poseurs. Maybe they are a bit pretentious – but people have been leveling the same accusation at me since I was fifteen – but I would say that they just like to keep their world a little magical. I am drinking ginger ale out of a champagne flute at the moment. Even those who constantly lose themselves in escapist fantasies need to stay sober once in a while.
These two young ladies aren’t haughty or cold, but really quite welcoming in a way. Are they authentic or are they just mimicking the way that hipstresses like them dress in other parts of the world?
Double Check

On a foggy day, at Beixinqiao intersection, I found a rare example of real Beijing street style.

This young student has it all going on. This is the kind of boho Beijinger we’ve all come to love.

Here is an interesting mix of rugged and rugged, cozy, and chic.
Happy in the Mall
Youdi was wandering around the I.T. store in Sanlitun Village North. She is a native Beijinger studying jewelry design in Birmingham and – like most of the Stylites popping up on this site lately – came back to the city during the holidays.
Cat on a Roof
Beijing student Zaylin attended Electric Shadows Film Club’s screening of the American classic Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman last night. The club had been organizing monthly free classic movie streamings on the Bookworm’s rooftop terrace in Sanlitun throughout the summer and will hopefully find an indoor venue during fall and winter.
Pale Green Loli
Roxanne is also at Central St Martins. I particularly like her skirt made from Miao minority embroidery and batik cloth. She found it at Beijing Muxiyuan fabric market.
A Beijing Holiday
Momo studies fashion and textile design at Central St Martins and is back in Beijing for the summer. Some of her collections are here.

After something of a respite from the cold, snow and freezing air returned to Beijing over the last few days. The puffy coats were out in force again. Here was one of the more colorful examples.
