A fashion blogger of Chinese origin born in Denver, Colorado first started her blog with a review of the ten best in the “Big Four” fashion weeks Spring/Summer 2010 in January, 2010. In the following month, she set up a fan page on Facebook reaching more than 4,000 followers today. Miao has lived a kind of nomadic lifestyle between Hong Kong and Taiwan, Taiwan and Perth, Perth and Europe and so on since she was a child. Her multicultural background has exposed her to various lifestyles and different attitudes towards fashion yet even strengthened her motherland ties and her pride in being Chinese. Having worked in visual merchandising and marketing for the brands such as Ralph Lauren and TSE New York, Miao was trained to have a good eye on fashion and luxury goods. She doesn’t believe fashion as an individual entity, it has got to be linked up with history and culture. Miao is especially keen on the design inspired by oriental aesthetics. She sees it kind of her mission to bring any talented Chinese/Asian designers to the world’s attention.
Realizing the blogging market is so over-saturated, which means fashion bloggers from all over the world are doing more or less the same thing. Miao, being conscious of her Chinese heritage, tends to make her blog unique and genuine by specializing herself in oriental-inspired fashion with eastern motifs cross-fertilizing western styles which brings an exotic feel to it. While most bloggers are keeping an eye on the traditional “Big Four” fashion cities in the West and craving for the latest news about Karl Lagerfeld, Miao is exploring the emerging fashion markets in the East and helps spread the word about the best up-and-coming designers from China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, etc. On top of that, La Mode by GV Miao provides a platform for fashionistas to comment on their favorite oriental/ethnic/folklore designs and express their views on fashion of an oriental theme. Followers are also welcome to leave words about what they think “orientalism” may possibly mean, and what necessary elements should be there to make it oriental fashion. Miao, in addition to being a keen admirer of the glitz and glamour of oriental style, celebrates antique and vintage fashion in her blog. What makes each historical piece special and appealing is the story behind them. It is indeed an interesting experience to feel like having gone through a nostalgia phase when blogging about vintage.

More goodies yet to come!
While all eyes are on the “Big Four” (#BigFour) #fashion weeks, let’s take a break and shift our attention to Asia’s biggest #fashion event – Hong Kong Fashion Week (#HKFW) Fall/Winter 2013 and its concurrent World Boutique, Hong Kong (#HKWorldBoutique) featuring more than 1,800 exhibitors from all over the world which was finished last month through my lens. Many shots were immediately uploaded to my #Instagram and #Twitter, but it’s never too late to share them again with my overseas #Tumblr fans here (in case you haven’t followed me yet on #Instagram or #Twitter, what are you waiting for? :P). The theme for Hong Kong Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2013 was inspired by the spectacular runway stage. The entrance was decorated with a theatrical dramatic installation. Beautifully dressed people popped out here and there to make sure they stole the spotlight. I made two necessary trips to visit the debut #Fashion #Jewellery Feast showcasing some of the most potential #jewelry brands including #Biarro (Hong Kong based) and #MariaFrancescaPepe (the UK based) by Aroxta.com and Che Che New York’s most fantastically designed booth. More shots are to be shared separately, stay!
