Since 2016, Ruoyi Jiang has been a leader within the retail space of her Chinatown community, seeking to beat xenophobia through accessibility and education. The quintessential boutique retail space Chop Suey Club<\/a> on Hester Street highlights new, modernly fresh designs from young Chinese creatives like Fengyi Tan, Yueqi Qi, Percy Lau, and artist John Yuyi. Through Chop Suey Club, Jiang helps curate unique, yet essential pieces that range from the fashion on your back to the lifestyle items in the kitchen. The storefront’s online presence also seeks to inform audiences about the cultural significance of historic images, important leaders and key pieces within Chinese culture like jade, lantern festivals, mahjong<\/em> and more. We spoke to Jiang about how she first started in fashion, how the past year under lockdown has been for her business, and how the Chinatown community quickly came together and persevered. <\/p>\n
