This Mexican necklace made of diamond-shaped purple crystals belongs to Joyce Wang.

Among the new generation of Chinese Canadians, self-fashioning practices are no longer about “conformity” but about “individuality”. These women do not desire to fit in and adapt to mainstream Western society but to bring their unique taste, aesthetics, and lived experiences into the new cultural environment. In the context of globalization, women like Joyce, who lives in the contemporary diaspora, collect fashionable clothing and accessories from all over the world to communicate their desire to be seen as multicultural beings – open-minded, global citizens.
