FGI-LA Spring 2008 Runway Panel Discussion

Although I live in Shanghai, I was recently in Los Angeles to visit several clients. While in town I managed to fight off my jetlag while attending the FGI-LA Spring 2008 Panel Discussion.

My extra effort paid off and I was able to enjoy a lively and informative discussion on the state of fashion in LA from their panelists who included Henri Meyers- EM Productions, Cristina Ehrlich- Stylist and Designer of Miss Davenport, Juan Carlos… Continue

Evisu Cube Gallery 10/9/07 Shanghai

Each artist is given a small 3-D space and some Evisu fabric to make an art project with. The show will be open November 9th with an auction of the artwork in order to benefit a Chinese charity.

Unfortunately, I had to remove your previous listing telling members of the group about your company. You had written "Just want to introduce myself to anyone that joins this group. I do sourcing in China and Egypt for cotton t shirts. I also know many screen printers in Los Angeles." Please join the new group and add back your listing. The printing fashion group. Sorry for the inconvenience.
