Margaret Zhang

You may know Margaret Zhang as the new editor-in-chief of Vogue China—at the age of 27, she’s the youngest EIC to ever helm the title. In addition to being a fashion icon, this Australian-born Chinese multi-hyphenate is also a talented filmmaker with a unique eye. I recently watched her short film I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE. In this dreamy, highly stylized short film, two outsiders alone in Tokyo—and two avatars treading carefully in a Japanese chat room—embark on an unlikely search for identity through the modern, distorted lens of the projected self. This fun, gorgeous, and at times disorienting short blurs the thin line between physical reality and digital reality, exploring the desire to feel connected and loved in both spaces. Go watch!
