For the past 30 years the ladies of Columbus Park have gathered daily to practice luk tung kuen, a specialist Chinese form of exercise. Alexa Karolinski and the design duo Zoe Latta and Mike Eckhaus were initially looking for tai chi talent to star in a fashion film for Latta and Eckhaus’s burgeoning fashion label—Eckhaus Latta—when they stumbled upon the band of Chinese seniors and became mesmerized by their elegant routine. For these beautiful old ladies who meet every morning it’s a routine in their daily lives, it’s part of their identities.
