China’ s Vintage Lookbooker: Juliette Xiao
With an eye that conjures up a colonial Shanghainese past, Juliette Xiao’s style is purposefully constructed. It is a succinct mixture of nostalgia and thoughtful spiritedness. East and west seem to mix and coalesce in her garments, with allusions to traditional Chinese art, Qi-Paos and western influences. As Lookbook gawkers click the hype button, they’ll be pleased to know that many of the looks shown are on sale online. Xiao is co-founder of Mime Vintage, an e-tail store that has sold clothes on Ebay, Taobao and Etsy. A native Shanghaier who currently resides in Hong Kong, I managed to spend some time with her to find out what makes her tick, the story behind her striking style and what it means to be vintage in an uber-materialistic China.
