Do you remember this summer in Shanghai?

The beauty and the grace of Du Juan

A super chinese model. Du Juan made her runway debut in Spring 2006 walking for Valentino, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli and Chanel. In 2005 she became the first Asian cover-model of Vogue Paris and since this happened she was feautured for many adv campaing such as Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Swarovski, Yvs St. Laurent. Style.com declared her one of the top ten models to watch for the fall 2006 and she became one of the most acclamed chinese models, gracing in the cover of the premier issue of Vogue China.

Largely absent from Europe in recent seasons, Du Juan spends her time between NYC and her native Shanghai (two cities that I love!!). We hope Due will come back soon in our catwalks!

Wondering about fashion

Daria Werbowy is once again featured in the Fall/Winter 2010/11 H&M's ad campaign. 

I saw these immages first in Shanghai. They were all over: bus stops, subway stations, walls. 

When I am in Milan I am thinking at H&M as a great place where you can find easy, funny, strange and cheap things. But, when I had the chance to move in the other part of the world, suddently I've understood that H&M is a global phenomenon. They work on reasearch, they analize people and they are great in doing it.

After my first trip in Asia, I am thinking even better at the fashion field. In these latest years so many things are changing and I am discovering many new aspects. Is fashion really changing?

I believe that we should reflect on the worldwide trends. As we can see with the blogging reality, things are changing so faster. 

As I am some kind of romantic, I love all the poetic aspects of fashion: which means creativity first of all. But economy counts on everything and as we saw in the previous years it has been dominant. Does economy kill creativity?  For sure, not at the beginning of something then, later, maybe yes.

I am a fashion lover, not only because I want to "possess" beautiful things and my new challenge is now try to understand and analize my beloved sector.  A worldwide reaserch, because fashion is everywhere!

Carrousel de la Mode: almoust ready for China

Carrousel de la Mode in China.

My amazing journey to Asia is coming soon, few working days and my holidays will begin.

Yesterday I made the itinerary: Venice - Istanbul - Beijing - Suzhou - Shanghai - Hangzhou - Guilin - Hong Kong - Macao - Beijing - Istanbul - Venice.

Is gonna be an amazing trip. I will discover so many new things and I will open my mind.

The modern China vs the old China.

Big cities vs countryside.

I am sure I will learn many things that will help me.

So, -7...can't wait for it!
