“Sexy” is hardly the first word that comes to most people’s minds when describing gritty, coal-dusted Beijing. Anna Sophie “Sufei” Loewenberg, however, is not most people. Host and producer of Sexy Beijing (www.sexybeijing.tv), the charismatic Anna Sophie knows how to make Beijing look undeniably sexy. Perhaps it is her classy-cute retro style, which has her wearing her signature cat-eye glasses, fishnets and thrift-store finds. So just where does one find such signature vintage pieces in a city obsessed with flashy trends? "Mega Mega Vintage," she answers without hesitation. Referring to Beijing's "dirt markets" set up at local music festivals, Anna Sophie adds, "Sometimes you have to dig through the dirt pile to find the diamond.” This is where she scooped up the red horse dress that fits her like a glove. With over six million hits on YouTube, Anna Sophie gets a lot of emails and comments regarding Beijing’s fashion culture and has some insightful parting words for every Fashionista: “Never throw anything away if you wear it well. In fact, you're in Beijing, so make three more of the same! I've been wearing at least half of my wardrobe for over a decade.”
