The Style Director of Harper’s Bazaar China extolls the signature style of Beijing…and Chloe Sevigny.


I love my job because…

As a stylist, you have many ideas and inspirations that blend into a “new” idea. You have to be open-minded.

My go-to style is…
Accessories.

In this photo I am wearing…
Tory Burch’s Faith Dress*, a bomber jacket from Opening Ceremony, a Maison Martin Margiela necklace, COS socks and Peter Pilotto shoes.

This look epitomizes…
Ladylike with a bit of sporty. The plastic heels give a modern twist to the look.

Beijing style is…
A mix of influences, from European street style as well as Japan and South Korea.

Best piece of fashion advice I ever received was…
Don’t just be pretty; be beautiful from the inside-out.

My style icon is…
Chloë Sevigny. I love all the independent movies she’s been in and the very unique style she has.

Most stylish movie…
Never Let Me Go by Mark Romanek. It has very stylish lighting, and I love the ending where the wind blows the leaves.

My ideal day in Beijing…
Spotting a new place (e.g. a book shop or a cafe). This applies anywhere, actually.

My sign is…
Aquarius.
