Chinatown Pretty
Ingram. Meet Valerie Luu & Andria Lo!
Chinatown Pretty features beautiful portraits and heartwarming stories of trend-setting seniors across six Chinatowns. The book shares nuggets of philosophical wisdom and personal stories about immigration and Chinese-American culture.
Andria Lo and Valerie Luu have been interviewing and photographing Chinatown's most fashionable elders on their blog and Instagram, Chinatown Pretty, since 2014. Chinatown Pretty is a signature style worn by pòh pohs (grandmas) and gùng gungs (grandpas) everywhere--but it's also a life philosophy, mixing resourcefulness, creativity, and a knack for finding joy even in difficult circumstances.
Photos span Chinatowns in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Vancouver.
The style is a mix of modern and vintage, high and low, handmade and store bought clothing.
This is a celebration of Chinese American culture, active old-age, and creative style.
