Beijing Fashion – Eclectic Inconsistency
 Eclectic in the sense of ensembles
pieced together by garments from a
diverse range of :
 Colors
 Fabrications
 Seasons
 Inconsistent as seen from person to
person. There was no overall sense of
Beijing fashion, when compared to
the American “Prep” look, for
example. The inconsistency was
Beijing’s fashion.
 Located in North Eastern China, the
climate of Beijing is dry and hot
during the summer months.

Shanghai Fashion – International Conservative
& Anti-fit
 International: Shanghai fashion is
heavily influenced by its position as a
highly international city. Having a
history with France, Germany and the
U.K, Shanghai has developed a flavor of
European style.
 Conservative: From personal
experience, Shanghai men and women
are more conservative in dress and
their approach.
 Anti-fit: The anti-fit trend is also very
popular for the Shanghainese. Clothes
employ many pleats, drop crotches, and
draping.
 Located in China’s Central East,
Shanghai’s climate is hot and humid
during the summer months.

Hong Kong Fashion – Manhattan
 You may chuckle upon viewing my
description of Hong Kong fashion;
however, it is such an international
city that its style is very much like
Manhattan.
 Numerous trends with very
individualistic interpretations.
 Bohemian, Vintage Levi’s, Ivy
League, are all notable
 Located in Southern China, Hong
Kong’s climate is hot and humid.
