Beijing wifi, clothes and consumerismPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, February 21, 2008 11:13 AM
 • Beijing Boyce (a blog by a 'somewhat young China hand on the local drinking scene') is currently doing a winter wireless roundup: a review of Beijing restaurants and cafés that offer good wifi connections as well as decent food and drinks. • Stylites is a photo blog featuring well-dressed denizens of Beijing and explanations of their clothing. The blog gives one a little hope for sartorial progress in the capital. • Buy Buy Beijing describes itself as a 'collection of interviews and conversations with people in China about what they buy and sell.' Each interview includes a photo and short transcript. |

Comments on Beijing wifi, clothes and consumerism
If satorial progress is a spandau-ballet style combination of miltary jackets and knee length boots (on men), then, yes, beijing has hope
ps. love that Buy Buy Beijing site - random brilliance. an effortless portrayal of life in beijing.
"Stylites" is an unabashed ripoff of longtime fashion blog "The Sartorialist" (link).
That said, I guess the fashionistas of China now have their own little site to comment upon others' dress.
Why Sartorialist and not any one of the hundreds of other similar street style sites operating in cities throughout the world?
Good point Nels. The first street style site I became aware of was a section of Japanese design portal Shift who started publishing street fashion photos about ten years ago.
