Scene & Heard: Beijing Finally Gets an Abercrombie & Fitch
Yes, you can move to China – but no, you can never escape your past.
Your teenage past, that is, when girls skinnier than you and dudes
fitter than you showed off their conventionally attractive bodies by
sporting the international symbol for ‘douchebag,’ Abercrombie &
Fitch apparel. The brand’s new shop in Taikoo Li has decidedly fewer
floor-to-ceiling photos of nearly-nude models than its American cousins –
but hey, maybe that’s just because they’re trying to sell winter coats
right now. Bizarrely, Ningbo, Tianjin, Nanjing and Qingdao all got their
A&F shops before us – maybe Beijing really is a city of hipsters.
