Katrina is a nice girl here in Beijing to visit friends. She is from Wuhan originally, if I remember correctly, and she is now living in Shanghai. Her comments on Beijing were quite positive, particularly regarding the area around Houhai and Nanluoguxiang – the trendy sections of the old city.
Katrina是个很善良的女孩子，从上海到北京来看朋友。如果我没记错，她的老家在武汉。她觉得北京很好，尤其是后海和南锣鼓巷附近 - 老城是最时髦的地区。
Mr. Zhao said he comes from a small town in Yunnan. He just arrived in Beijing and plans to live here for a while. I asked him if his style is influenced by minority peoples. He said that it probably wasn’t. He is mainly going for the Bohemian look, adding that the important thing is to understand yourself and find an appropriate style. People shouldn’t imitate others or what they see in the magazines. I agree with this.
赵先生说他来自云南的一个小城市．他刚到了北京，打算在这里长期住。我问过他：“你的风格是不是带点少数民族的特色？”他说“不一定。主要的是波西米娅的。”他还加了：“最重要的是了解自己，找一个适合自己的风格。不要模仿别人或者杂志里的模特。”我很赞成他这个看法。
A fashion design student at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, she intends to design womenswear of the “mix and match” style - currently a popular focus. I was disappointed that she doesn’t make clothing or wear her own designs, so far relying on shops in Xidan and the Zoo.
这个在北京服装学院学时装设计的学生想设计“混搭”风格的女装-现在时尚界的一个主流趋势。我有点失望因为她还没穿自己做的或者设计的衣服。到目前为止，她还是在大家去的西单和动物园买她穿的衣服。
A real man of the “backstreet” getting a start on summer styles with a little ventilation around the waist, Chen Dong, originally from Xinjiang, is the singer for the band DEFY. He describes his style as rockability and enjoys all fashion items that evoke the ‘60s London. His blazer is Dior Homme and he bought on Taobao, China’s leading online consumer site. His jeans and shoes are also Dior Homme from Taobao. Mr. Chen admits that all of these items are counterfeit, but says he does not have nearly enough money to buy the real thing. He would be willing to purchase second-hand jeans and leather products, including boots, since items used to be higher quality.
一个真正的从“后街”来的男人已经提早开始为夏日风格做准备—给腰部通通风。陈栋的老家在新疆，是乐队的歌手。他用rockability来形容自己的风格，喜欢所有60年代的伦敦时尚风格。他穿的Dior Homme西服是在淘宝上买的。淘宝是中国最大的个人网上交易社区。他的牛仔裤和鞋子也是的，同样是从淘宝上买的。他承认这些东西都是盗版的，但他没钱买正版的。他愿意买二手的牛仔裤和皮具，包括牛仔裤，因为以前生产的东西质量更好
I’ve always had a thing for girls in masks. Maybe it is because I am half Middle Eastern. Masks just make girls look so mysterious. From Chiba, a suburb of Tokyo, Tomumi lives in the hutongs of Beijing and studying at the Central Drama Academy, which she chose because she knew there would be few foreign students thus enabling her to learn Chinese more easily. She much prefers Beijing to Shanghai because Beijing has so much history. She describes Shanghai as a modern city just like Tokyo, but without the great shopping. Returning home in a few months, she will see her Chinese boyfriend, now studying in Tokyo.
我一直喜欢戴口罩的女孩子。可能是因为我是半个中东人。口罩就是让女孩子看起来很神秘！从千葉県，东京的一个教区，Tomumi[忘了问她日语名字的汉字怎么写]住北京胡同，在中央戏剧学院学习，选了这个大学因为她知道外国人少所以她能好好学习中文。跟上海比她更喜欢北京因为北京有怎么丰富的历史。她说上海是个很现代的城市，跟东京没什么太大的区别，就是在东京逛街更好。她等几个月回家，能见到她的现在东京留学的中国男朋友。
Former Beijing party animal, Brett Model was up for the weekend from Macao where he’s a manager at Wynn.
白瑞以前是北京的Party Animal, 现在在永利澳门酒店当经理。上个月他回北京度周末。
Keeping the overall style simple, Brett Model goes for neat details that express his personality. One leg says “everything is in chaos” while the other is “all is prosperous”. Underneath all of his suit collars are former ties instead of the usual felt.
他的个人风格比较简单，但他喜欢用一些独特的细节体现自己的个性。他的一条裤腿上绣的是“天下大乱”，另一条裤腿上绣的是“形势大好”。他所有的西服领子后面用的都是旧领带，而不是一般裁缝会用的毛毡。
This cute young Qingdao girls studies set design at the Beijing Drama Academy. Her home in Beijing is on Beijing’s Chaodou hutong - like me， she lives in a old-style, one-story home. She thinks her school is the most fashionable one in the city. She describes her style as “luanda” or random mixing of different styles.
这个可爱的女孩子是青岛人，在中央戏剧学院学习舞台美术。她在北京的家在炒豆胡同-跟我一样住在平房里。她觉得自己的学校是北京最时尚的大学。她喜欢的穿衣风格是“乱搭”。
