New York Fashion Week SS 2013....Wang Xiao

Chinese model Wang Xiao, after Costello Tagliapietra, NYC, September 2012.

Recreate Wang Xiao's retro-cool-Western look (kind of):

Denim shirt (I couldn't find any shirts quite as blingy as Wang's but I am sure you could find similar in vintage shops or otherwise perform a little DIY metal studding on a plain denim shirt). Wit & Wisdom studded denim shirt, Topshop Moto Indigo stud denim shirt, Textile Elizabeth and James Austin shirt, Joe's Jeans Sidonie denim shirt, Wrangler denim Western shirt, Current/Elliott The Perfect Shirt or Torn by Ronny Kobo Lola fringe shirt

London Fashion Week SS 2013....Wang

Super stylish (and fun and happy!) Chinese model Wang Xiao (Wilhelmina), Somerset House, London, September 2012.

*I think I may have messed up Wang Xiao's name and should be saying Xiao instead of Wang as her first name?!

London Fashion Week AW 2012/13...Wang

Chinese model Wang Xiao (Wilhelmina), after Simone Rocha, London, February 2012.

Love Wang's off-duty style: she has such a sense of fun topped off with an incredible hairstyle! 

I just purchased the new edition of Lula magazine yesterday - Wang has a beautiful editorial shot by Damon Heath and styled by Leith Clark in the issue.

London Fashion Week AW 2012....Backstage at Margaret Howell

Backstage at Margaret Howell, London, Sunday 19 February 2012.

Low ponytails pulled effortlessly to one side under pom pom topped Tam o' Shanter's and low-riding beanies, freshly cut slices of crimson streaked blood orange and wedges of crisp winter apples, sleepy eyed models sipping welcome cups of freshly brewed coffee (show start time is 9am), boxes of brown and black preppy penny loafers, utilitarian canvas backpacks, refined twinsets, knee-length gently pleated skirts and mannish blazers (evoking images of the young Mitford sisters in the 1930's), heavy wool military-inspired coats.....and one Paddington Bear navy knee-length duffel coat, flushed rosy cheeks (a brisk walk in the country on a winter's day perhaps?), wool pants with front pockets and track-pant hems, tales of acting and photographs (we loved seeing you back on the runway this season Dorothea Barth Jorgensen).....These Are a Few of My Favourite Things from backstage at Margaret Howell AW 2012.
