Notes from an international fashion tracker

Got a nice mention online as an "international fashion tracker" in New York Daily News, in a story that quotes from my blog coverage of designer Zix Guan and Shanghai Fashion Week: nydn.us/JkJ1NB

The story was initially picked up by Agence France Presse (AFP) and distributed to papers and web sites around the world.

My story about Shanghai's place in the fashion universe appears in the paper today, but I'll still be adding a few more pictures and videos over the next few days.
