Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Try google fashion + artist + phnom penh, get showroom adresses & names, yippeee.

Em Riem comes to mind, but it looks like his X-Em Gallery has closed. Extravagonzo fashionisto.

Khmers aren't what I'd call "stylish" yet. Some are of course (to a western eye), but it's not at all like what you'd see downtown or in a trendy neighbourhood of any major city, where left and right you'd see trendy people. Your best bet is in the evenings or in malls, as Khmers also don't walk on sidewalks. Some teens are starting to have their own style though, so are the 20s crowd. For the most part though, you'll be waiting a long time with your camera at the ready.

There are plenty of stylish people around, you won't find too many wandering around the markets and riverside foreigner hangouts though - try some restaurants/ cafes/ clubs in better areas.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
