In our latest English language episodes of 《Good Morning, VOGUE China》Vogue China Editor-in-Chief, Margaret Zhang, and VOGUE Business China Associate Editorial Director, Yiling Pan, kick off a world-tour conversation around Fashion Month, taking a VOGUE China lens to New York, London, Milan, Paris and Shanghai.

Our first stop is New York Fashion Week, which has been quiet for a few seasons from a China perspective. Even so, New York has always been a hotbed of fashion innovation tied to community and subculture. In this episode, we have speak to friends, O.G. fashion disruptors and hard-and-fast New Yorkers, Marc Jacobs and Anna Sui, to distill the essence of New York and the evolution of its fashion scene.

Meanwhile, Alexander Wang stands on the shoulders of Marc and Anna's fashion revolution, and was one of the early Asian-American designers to build such an international reputation out of the Lower East Side. Wang returns to China for the first time since the pandemic and sits down with Margaret and Yiling to reflect on his career to date.
