Tina Chow

[angelfish]

Yeah, her eyes manage to be haunting, lively, eerie, and beautiful all rolled into one...As if she's daring you to look and also daring you to not look. Tina truly cements the notion that presence + style reign supreme over clothing alone.

very well said!! couldnt agree more

China looks a lot like her.

I cried reading the "Lost Angel" article in New York magazine. It really stays with you. Thanks for sharing it with us

It's quite saddening that this thread is dead. Are there ore of her pictures?

WHAT I’M WEARING NOW A cream Jasmin Shokrian dress, Louboutin shoes and a woven bamboo cuff with amethyst pebbles inside that my mother, Tina Chow, designed. With jewelry, I either do it or I don’t. I’m not into little rings and necklaces.

STYLE ICON My grandmother — the way she dresses is so effortless and chic. The other day she had on a simple gray men’s cardigan that she’d had for 35 years, and she looked great. I always ask myself, “Would my grandmother think this is very strange?”

FAVORITE ITEMS My mother’s jewelry. The longer I live with it, the more I appreciate the workmanship.

Excerpts from Nytimes.com Style section slideshow "Pulse". There's more on the website from China Chow.

There is a book in the library of my town showing a selection of her favourite garments, among some incredible Balenciaga, Alaia, Cardin, Dior pieces...

She's such an inspiration, and she reminds of a lot of Joan Chen in Twin Peaks

I wish I could add a piece by her into my collection, but I'm afraid the price is becoming sky-high every year...It's almost like high jewelry piece..

My mother was friends with Tina back in the day, when she hung out with Antonio Lopez's crew.
Tina was her maid of honor at her wedding, but after several years they kind of lost contact with one another.
Here are some pics of my parents wedding reception in London at Mr. Chow's.
From L to R: Tina Chow, my grandmother Helen Merrill, my dad Alan Merrill, my mom Cathee Dahmen, and Michael Chow. London, 1977.
