"Chinatown Pretty" features beautiful portraits and heartwarming stories of trend-setting seniors across six Chinatowns. Andria Lo and Valerie Luu have been interviewing and photographing Chinatown's most fashionable elders on their blog and Instagram, Chinatown Pretty, since 2014. Chinatown Pretty is a signature style worn by pòh pohs (grandmas) and gùng gungs (grandpas) everywhere—but it's also a life philosophy, mixing resourcefulness, creativity, and a knack for finding joy even in difficult circumstances.

Stunning

This book had absolutely beautiful photographs. A lovely and respectful tribute to the many different personalities in Chinatown. I loved reading everyone's story, and seeing their creativity and zest for the beauty in life. #ChinatownPretty #NetGalley

wonderful!

Oh my gosh, I loved this book! I was looking forward to it as a photography book, I've admired senior East Asian fashion for years, but this is so much more than just photography. The histories of the Chinatowns, the stories of the poh pohs and gung gungs, the life and joy throughout the book is wonderful and engaging and so interesting. I enjoyed this so much! I have a good start on being a poh poh hou leng (pretty grandma); this is my new aspiration in life, and I hope I can make the real poh poh hou lengs proud. #ChinatownPretty #NetGalley

Wonderful Photographs and Stories

I just loved this book. One of my favorite places is Chinatown in Chicago so I was glad to see it included. The book is filled with beautiful photographs of stylish seniors but I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed reading about them. Enjoy this fun book
