Review “If you’ve ever strolled through a Chinatown coveting a 90-year-old woman’s dazzlingly creative outfit, you’re not alone. The new photography collection Chinatown Pretty features glam portraits of—and stirring stories of resilience from—trend-setting seniors in San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Vancouver. These stylish poh pohs (grandmas) and gung gungs (grandpas) will teach you how to stay strong during tough times—and pair leopard print with gingham.” — O, the Oprah Magazine “These photos of Chinatown fashion prove age has nothing to do with style.” — Buzzfeed “This book is an utter delight. Bay Area locals Valerie and Andria photographed extremely stylish seniors across six different Chinatowns. The stories and outfits are lovely and inspiring.” — The Glitter Guide About the Author Valerie Luu is a writer and one-half of the Vietnamese pop-up restaurant Rice Paper Scissors.
