Chinatown Pretty

Chinatown Pretty is a project by Andria Lo and Valerie Luu that celebrate the ingenuity, flair, and beauty of seniors living in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Going through the collection of photos and interviews we are reminded of our own grandmother who wore her bold floral dress shirt, a red sweater and a puffy vest with such joy and confidence. Like our grandmother, the energy and true enjoyment of life that these individuals radiate is something to live up to. These nainais (grandmas) and Yeyes (grandpas) sporting hand-knit sweaters, a bundle of vegetables, and a DIY mentality are truly the original hipsters of San Francisco.
