hina’s fashion scene is changing. Fast. Although status symbols still trump sartorial savvy all too often with the country’s newly minted, logo-saturated luxury retail market, a creative awakening has started out over the last C few years, flourishing into an almighty call to arms. China and Shanghai fashion weeks, held this month, are a snapshot of the industry’s strengths. Both events have become increasingly more relevant since launching over a decade ago, promoting a passion for originality and propelling a growing cluster of home-grown designers into the international spotlight. On a more organic level, the recent proliferation of street style blogs and other forms of fashion-oriented social media has inspired new excitement in fashion across the country. More people are embracing the artistry of dressing and taking risks with what they wear. With this resurgence in mind, we’ve put together some of the budding talents shaping the nation’s fashion world and helping to change the way we think of Chinese style and, why not, Chinese cool.

uangzhou is now home to the largest community of Africans in all of Asia. Since the first Africans started coming to the city in the 1990s, chasing a Chinese dream of prosperity that they could not find in their native continent, the population has exploded. A recent study put the number of African citizens in Guangzhou at 200,000, around 10 percent of whom are thought to reside here legally while the Grest are made up of transient visitors and illegal immigrants. People from countries like Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal have traditionally arrived in South China to buy goods to sell at a profit back home, bringing with them a wealth of culture that is suffusing Guangzhou with new foods and styles that are becoming part of the fabric of the city. Meanwhile, more and more Chinese are traveling to Africa to participate in the many PRC-funded projects that are transforming the infrastructures of Angola, Kenya and several other nations. This month, we take a broad look at how the Sino-African exchange is changing Guangzhou, and Africa, forever.

In the process, Guangzhou is becoming something new, expanding the minds and sensibilities of ‘locals’ and questioning the very definition of the word. What may have started as a search for trade and riches has become something far more substantial. Some estimates now put the number of Africans in Guangzhou at between 200,000 and 300,000, the majority of which (according to 2013 polls on GDTV’s Face Time) are from Nigeria, Ghana, Mali, Guinea and Senegal, in that order. But this number is nothing more than an educated guess. Chinese media reported a conserva- tive 20,000 registered Africans in 2008, but it is widely acknowledged in both state-owned and independent news outlets that the actual figure is much higher. A great number of Africans are transient, staying for periods as short as a few The Chinese days and as long as a few months, while others are residing in the city illegally. Counting people from Africa crossing the borders into China is also problematic, as Dream many are entering and exiting repeatedly within a brief period.

From the humble starches, nuts and leaves that form the basis of so many diets to grand banquet dishes such as goat head, meat stew and grilled fish, African food is a celebration of their continent. Although it is still woefully under-represented on the world culinary scene, Guangzhou appears to have its fair share of eateries (more than 40 of them) due to the proliferation of the African community. But finding an eatery for a dose of bona fide, time-honored fare of fufu and jollof rice cooked by the loving hands of a native is challenging. In the heart of Little Africa, also known as Guangyuan Xi Lu, we slithered in and out of messy alleys and basements crammed with cheap Chinese commodities, only to arrive at elusive caverns of homemade, no-frills, no-stars gastronomy. Even the menus stumped us, with variations on dish names such as shaky, sharkey, shaki PPS, wookey and our favorite of them all, keta school boys. Sounds delicious, no? Bring along a hearty appetite and your sense of adventure for an authentic feast.
