Glorious : In Search of China's New Elites
Levin, Dan
Glorious : In Search of China's New Elites / Writer: Dan Levin. Editors: John Millichap and Jonathan Browning - Hong Kong; 3030 Press; 2018
Jonathan Browning is a Hassocks, England-based photographer who recently turned a personal project of his into a published book. Between 2014 and 2016, Jonathan traveled around China and photographed the growing social elite in the country – the young, rich, and cosmopolitan. His published book, Glorious! In Search of China’s New Elites, is a series of more than 70 images featuring the young and affluent subjects at home, at work, and out on the town. What emerges is a snapshot of a social class caught in the process of defining itself. In its choice of fashions, its taste in interior design and its social habits, it is a community whose self-image is still a highly variegated mix of traditional Chinese and international designer brands, reconfigured in a country still coming to terms with its status as a 21st-century superpower.
