NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Chinatown

Every Wednesday, Critical Mass pops into a neighborhood and finds its most stylish residents.

This week, we explored Center City's Chinatown, that world within another world just a few blocks away from Critical Mass headquarters. Edgy asymmetrical hairdos, pashmina shawls and high-top boots over skinny jeans were all the rage. And while the language barrier was sometimes hard to maneuver, the residents' classy styles read loud and clear. Lucy C. was our first catch, and boy do we wish she would've kept that precious parasol over her head for a second longer ' before we could ask her any questions, a bird crapped on her head.
