ZhangPasi Duo. Boy in the black Bow Tie and Girl in the Bunny Ears.
I think fashion bloggers have unconsciously bridged the gap between what has always seemed untouchable and created a fashion language everyone can understand.
This week I caught up with ZhangPasi, the Sydney “brother & sister” blogging duo, Warren Pasi, Boy in the black Bow Tie and Cissy Zhang, Girl in the Bunny Ears. If you were at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Sydney this year you may have seen them front row yourself!
We chatted about all things fashion and the importance of the emerging and ever changing role of the fashion blogger and other style influencers. We dreamed a little about building meaningful and beneficial collaborations between designers, bloggers, creative teams, and industry professionals in order to bridge the gap between industry and consumers. I think we are beginning to see the importance of breaking down some barriers and having an open and honest conversation about the state of the industry and what we can all do to create a more prosperous one. For Australian fashion to thrive again it is essential that we support our local Australian industry by purchasing and proudly wearing their designs. Anyone that knows me is aware that I believe we have the best designers in the world …
It was wonderful to connect with fashion enthusiasts who love the Australian fashion industry almost as much as I do.
Welcome to our little revolution.

What inspired you to be fashion bloggers?

I would always be flipping through Vogue looking at the editorials and one day decided to create my own to be creative and show my personal work to the world.

I really just fell into fashion blogging after studying fashion design.

How did you come to work together as the ZhangPasi duo?
CZ & WP
We actually met at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2014. Although our blogging personas are brother and sister, we are not actually related! We did our first collaboration in late 2014, wearing Lobelia Couture and Vivienne Westwood and a pair of bunny ears each. It was such a great shoot. Every time we worked together, we were completely in sync and had the same vision for our blogs. We decided to become a blogging duo in March 2015.
