Elsbeth van Paridon is founder of The China Temper, a print and digital publication which “offers a gritty slash grungy look at contemporary China through a Fashion-focused lens.” Aside from her work with The China Temper, Elsbeth serves as an editorial consultant at the Beijing Review, an editor at WeAr Global Magazine, and a contributor to SupChina and RADII China. We take a look at contemporary China through the lens of fashion and culture; we discuss the new thinking around fashion and individuality among China’s younger generations; we discuss China’s fashion scene as it is today and how it differs from other major fashion mecca’s like New York; we talk about China’s fashion icons, as well as exploring China’s urban underground scene and the future of fashion in China. Enjoy!
