Standing outside a café in downtown Chengdu, one woman is engaged in her own personal photo shoot, shimmying and pivoting to ensure that the sunlight catches her translucent skirt. She has no reason to feel self-conscious; after all, she’s not the only one peacocking next to the glass-fronted designer megastores in Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li.

The setting’s appeal lies not just in the blue-chip shopping, but in the chance to tout one’s personal style. Set against a gleaming backdrop, sidewalks playing the role of runways, these Chengdunese women won’t mind if you stare. They’ll just smile, and keep shooting.
