In the 7 years she lived in Beijing, Vega Zaishi Wang (@vegazwang) started her eponymous label and made her name as one of China’s top young fashion designers. But Beijing’s grueling pace of life was taking its toll. She struggled with depression so oppressive she named one of her collections “The Dark Night of the Soul.” So last September, @vegazwang fled to #Xiamen, a coastal city between Hong Kong and Shanghai. She set up a studio in a 4-story mansion in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from the beach. “In Beijing, there was no such thing as work-life balance,” the 32-year-old said. “But here in Xiamen, I can slow down my pace and focus on my collections. I’m much happier here.” And she isn’t alone. @vegazwang is the latest addition to a small but robust community of up-and-coming Chinese #fashion designers who have forgone the glamour of Shanghai and Beijing in favor of Xiamen. Known as the “Xiamen gang,” they’re bringing aesthetics ranging from elevated street wear to high-end fashion to a city not known for its sense of chic.
