As a member of a new generation, which has experienced fashion in the age of blogs, social media, and peer review, Chen feels it's time to break down fashion's barriers. "My long–term goal is to rethink the model of a fashion magazine. I think when most people think of a fashion magazine they think of something that's very... Continue reading at 'Fast Company'
