…fine exhibitions. Nike has also been a big sponsor of local art both with commissioning Michael Lau and also opening their 26 Degrees gallery. Numerous events over the last year such as the K-Swiss K-Spray parties have brought acclaimed international street artists to town. As I have noted before, fashion brands are often the new patrons of the arts. Even small potatoes such as the Six Keyz gallery (R.I.P) made a difference, putting on shows that…

…ear volume of people, it was overwhelmed. The lockers, a good plan b, were completely occupied before the show started. At the end of the night, as fans streamed out to retrieve their things, they were greeted with a slow moving line that snaked for over two blocks! It must have taken at least an hour to claim their belongings – not a cool way to end a fun night! To avoid a hassle at the next big event, leave your bags at home, or check with the m…

I had a free day in between checking out the Ferragamo show and an event for the U.K. brand DAKS. I spend my time in Beijing just like H.K. – I go from neighborhood to neighborhood checking things out. One difference between H.K. is that taxis are cheap in Beijing. The only catch is that traffic can be terrible, and taxi drivers don’t know the city very well. After sleeping late I grabbed lunch by myself at Peter’s Tex-Mex, the burrito spot in Ji…
The Alexander McQueen McQ store opening on Wednesday night treated Causeway Bay shoppers to a free live performance. Hong Kong band, “The Yours“ played a short, but rocking set directly on the sidewalk of Paterson Street.

…I saw a new Sony ad campaign today on the MTR (the subway in H.K.). It features a free-hand drawing style that is currently popular with certain Japanese clothing designers. It’s sort of an anti computer-perfect look. It’s more like doodles than graffiti, and it’s meant to be youthful and fun. Of course, I’d prefer to see the trains with graff ads, but it did catch my eye….
