love street snaps, it’s great someone paid attention to our fuzhou’s hollywood. nothing in the picture I’d wear though, but very fond of grandpa’s old blue suit.

There has been quite a change in fashion in Nanjing as well. I remember as late as 2006 most men and women were wearing the “countryside” look and young kids were the only ones to wear “jeans & t-shirts”.

Now there is all sorts of fashion being worn by all ages and I actually think about 50-60% of Nanjingese are out of the “countryside” look and into polos, jeans, sundresses, and various types of fashionable footwear.

With the exception of the latter portraits, I only have one thing to say about their current fashion sense for the first four: “很土“。

Thanks for sharing the Fuzhou fashion shots.
I really liked the red gogo dress on the yellow scooter – quite a difference from my Toronto bike gear of gore-tex in winter, and reflective light colours in summer.

Ben, This is fascinating, thanks for sharing. A look at the adaptation and reinterpretation of fashion; I especially love the flag purse.

i’d just like to comment on ur blog posts on ur previous stay in fujian province…it’s so interesting!! I’ve never heard of a foreigner staying for such a long period in fuqing and even fujian province and i love ur experience write-ups there…we have quite alot of fuqing ppl here in Australia too…as u said, many come on student visas and then work illegally and never go to school or rarely…its become so common for fuqing ppl to become involved in crime,etc that apparently the australian immigration department now has a more stringent set of rules when issuing visas to just fuqing ppl!

i love ur journey into the remote areas of China too and its given me insight into rural Chinese life..thanks..hope u blog more about ur experiences in China in the future shld u ever return there:-)
