LIFE WITH
FEI CHANG
Fei Chang (@xoxofei) is the quintessential modern woman-about-town. Though she was born in Taipei, she had an international upbringing, having lived in some of the most iconic cities of the world: Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, the list goes on. Her multicultural upbringing has instilled in her an insatiable desire to travel, and she can frequently be seen jet-setting around the world to yet another exotic location. We aren't ashamed to admit that we live variously through her Instagram updates.
Her fast-paced life has also made her a magnet for fashion, and she has quickly become one of Asia's best-dressed women. She launched her website, xoxoFei, in 2014, aimed at curating a "lifestyle that is at once luxurious, thoughtful and as effortless as possible." She inspires her readers to live, eat and shop better; in a nutshell, she inspires you to try to enjoy life as much as possible. Now, that's something that we here at PI'A can get behind.

Having lived and worked in the Madison Avenue area of New York City, what better woman to give us her insider knowledge of where to eat, play and shop than Fei? She let's us in on all of her Madison Avenue secrets below.
EAT
ELEVEN MADISON PARK
11 Madison Avenue, New York, NY10010, United States.
"After all these years, Eleven Madison Park still offers the most exquisite tasting menu in New York, by chef Daniel Humm. It's situated in one of the most beautiful Art Deco buildings in the city. Great for a power lunch or a real treat for a special night out."
RETREAT
NEW YORK EDITION HOTEL
5 Madison Avenue, New York, NY10010, United States.
"The New York Edition Hotel is a beautiful new hotel by Ian Schrager in the former MetLife Clock Tower. It combines chic yet comfortable interiors with a modernist touch and a beautiful crowd."
EXPLORE
MADISON SQUARE PARK
Madison Avenue, New York, NY10010, United States.
"Madison Square Park is a small but lovely park that's always bustling with activity. Not only is the original Shake Shack here, but some of the best culinary stars in New York come together twice a year here for Mad. Sq. Eats, a biannual popup food market. And with the addition of Teresita Fernandez's hanging mirrored sculptures that provide a visually stunning canopy over the park, it's one of my favourite places to take a leisurely stroll, walk my dog, or just take a breather from the city."
SHOP
EATALY
200 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY10010, United States.
"A hop and a skip away from the park and the beautiful Flatiron Building is my favourite Italian marketplace, Eataly. I could get pleasantly lost in here for ages."
WEAR
THE 'MADISON' BLOUSE
A classic blouse with a rounded cape style overlay at the back. The perfect top for the Madison Avenue girl who's hungry for design, with a bit of difference. Stride down Madison and feel your cape pick up the breeze in the 'Madison' Blouse.
