Blue skies, white clouds, and a beach. A line of beautiful women wearing swimwear parade on the stage, with judges and honored guests below stage. Did you think this was a beauty pageant? Actually, it is a matchmaking event for the rich and powerful.
Yesterday, this matchmaking event organized for the rich and powerful was held at the East Lake beach. All of the males who attended were required to have over 30 million yuan in assets or over 1 million yuan in annual income, and must also spend 99,999 yuan for an entrance ticket to the matchmaking event. Females were free to enter without registration fees, and must pass through rounds of selection before they can enter the final evening dinner cruise.
In case you couldn't tell by the covers, W magazine's July issue is all about music and of course, fashion.
To play up their theme du mois, the mag rounded up some name designers and asked them to dish on their musical muses, some of which are kinda surprising.
Here are some HIGHlights from the spread:

"I was captivated by her eccentric style and her willingness to dare. She embodies the cinematic allure and seductive power that is its essence."Burberry's Christoper Bailey on George Craig:
"For me, George embodies the modern British look."Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa on Esperanza Spalding:
