Yao Xiao is a familiar site everywhere from pillowfight flashmobs to the ultra-posh Ace Hotel. A rising young illustrator, Yao captures New York life (whether street life or night life) with a lightening fast pen. In our interview below, we talk about the Chinese art scene, style, and hiding in the corners at parties.
Ace Hotel is definitely the place to stay if you ever find yourself in Portland, Seattle, Palm Springs or New York City. Their offbeat, nouveau-bohemian interior design has been attracting artists, designers, geeks with style & international jet setters — you know, people just like you — since 1999. The New York City location has morphed into something beyond just a place to rest your head.
