Beijing-based stylist Lucia Liu is a familiar face on the front-row circuit, first as a magazine mainstay (Harper’s Bazaar and T Magazine in China) and now as the founder of creative platform, the Ballroom. Here, Liu tells us all about how she makes it through fashion week — from what she’ll be wearing to the can’t-live-without-them essentials.

First fashion memory…
They’re memories from my childhood — people from different ethnicities in my hometown (Si Chuan, China) wearing traditional ethnic outfits with very bright colors and prints, and chunky silver jewelry.

And most memorable fashion-week moment…
The magical moment when the looks, the set, the music and the girls all come together to create a scene where everything works together.

My fashion-week essentials…
During fashion week, wearing suitable clothes is as essential as looking great. Whatever I choose will have to accompany me throughout the day, from show to show; therefore, comfortable shoes with a good height are a must-have.

My go-to fashion-week look…
I like looks that are quite unisex while playing with details.

And footwear of choice…
Platform and chunky heels.

And what’s in my bag…
You can always find lipsticks and a portable battery.

Between shows you’ll usually find me…
In the park. :)
