However, Kocoon sets itself apart from the pack, specifically because it lacks the outrageously girly frills and frou-frou nonsense that the average Beijing nail bar is synonymous with. Natural light seeps through every part of the lounge, with natural wood and abundant greenery sectioning off individual areas. There are 12 spa stations, where you can indulge in all manner of hand and foot treatments, although reservations are recommended for the two private spa rooms (for treatments, massages and facials). The attention to detail is astonishing, with magazines available in a variety of languages, and various teas, coffees, smoothies and cocktails on offer for you to sip during pampering. We highly recommend the milk and honey foot spa (RMB 188/50 min), which uses premium Cuccio products. Kocoon is a haven from the kitsch and glitter that pervades so much of everyday life in the capital, and officially opens at the end of October. Halla Mohieddeen MUST HAVE Bye Bye Disco Daily 11am-10pm. 38-2 Nanluogu Xiang, Dongcheng District (6402 5581) 东城区南罗鼓9巷38-2号 Birkenstock Davos Clogs Fill this autumn with comfort, warmth, and color with the new Birkenstock Davos felt clogs (RMB 699). Available in an array of colors, the lightweight slipper combines soft and breathable felt material with the original Birken cushion footbed. Fiona Zhang Daily 9am-10pm. 220, 2/F, APM Mall, Wangfujing Dajie, Chaoyang District (6526 3303) 朝阳区王府井大f3街新东安市场2层220号商铺 126 that’smags the 2005 Beijinger October 2008 Sept. www./ thatsbj.com www.thebeijinger.com The ‘80s may have been the decade that taste forgot, but it’s being celebrated in all its dubious glory at Bye Bye Disco. Forget the newrevival pap that’s being “revived” by fast-fashion chains - the ultimate in ‘80s clothing hangs on the rack. The genuine Fei Yue sneakers (made in China, made in the Me Decade, and yours for the bargain price of RMB 69) are delightful, and the dresses (from RMB 170 upwards) look so toe-curlingly awful, you simply can’t resist. The clothing and accessories will please fans of ‘80s naffness, but there’s still plenty available for those who take more pride in their appearance. The oldschool games (RMB 35) are collectors’ items, and the other pieces of ‘80s trinketry are simply divine. A haven for fans of the past, Bye Bye Disco is ‘80s to the core and devotees of kitsch and retro will flock in droves. Halla Mohieddeen PHOTOS: JUDY ZHOU AND COURTESY OF BIRKENSTOCK FASHION & BEAUTY I t’s all over... yet again. The Olympics came to an end, but the blow was softened slightly by the Paralympics. But now that they’re over and done with as well, how will we cope? Retail therapy, of course, especially as you can now own a piece of Beijing Olympic history. Savvy volunteers have been making the most of the collective post-Olympic depression and have been selling off their official uniforms. Yes, those ubiquitous blue-and-white swirly Beijing Volunteer T-shirts are now collectors’ items, and bidding is fierce. We were slightly taken aback, when surfing the classifieds on the Beijinger website, to discover that the starting price for said items is around RMB 1,400 for a T-shirt, or RMB 2,000 for a complete set. Depends how much you want those volunteer uniforms. For those who don’t have thousands of spare RMB kicking about, take heart in the knowledge that less-than-genuine versions are also available, and are much cheaper. In other T-shirt news, hutong hipsters NLGX have launched their new fall collection. The new designs include tributes to the traditional Beijing trikes that tool around town, alongside re-vamped versions of old favorites such as the “bu chai” and “China Chick” logos (RMB 90). However, this seems to be the most affordable stuff available this fall. While wandering around town, noting all the shops and malls that are shortly due to open, we couldn’t help but notice that you need fairly deep pockets to make the most of them. The new Intime Lotte mall at Wangfujing is clearly pitching to the billionaire market, with high-end brands fitting out most of the building. The glistening Giorgio Armani at the Yintai Center will open fairly soon. It all looks very pretty, but not a lot of use to people like yours truly who can’t even afford the carrier bags there. And finally Lane Crawford is starting to stock the new fall/winter lines for top brands such as Yves Saint Laurent and the like. Gorgeous threads indeed, but again, a tad on the pricey side. Still, we’re not going to moan too much about Lane Crawford since they’re also appealing to the high street as well. We were squealing with excitement at the news that Lane Crawford will start stocking the Kate Moss for Top Shop collection from November. This one will probably sell out fairly quickly, but for those who do get there in time, expect to find the floaty tea dresses, sharp tailored jackets, and quirky prints that Moss is famed for. Elbows at the ready, girls... Halla Mohieddeen PRODUCT FOCUS Scent-imental Times Your signature perfume is your soul mate W ith such a wide variety of great brands available, choosing your signature scent isn’t easy. Perfumes are designed to blend with your body’s natural fragrance to create a unique scent that you can call your own. The best way to start is by testing the perfumes on your skin. Most people opt for the back of their wrists. Let the perfume linger, then try and identify the various different layers of scent that develop. Fiona Zhang Sweet Years Daily 10am-10pm, A501, The Malls at Oriental Plaza, 1 Dongchang’an Jie, Dongcheng District (8518 6749) 东城区东长安街1号东方新天地1层A501 MaxMara Le Parfum Perfume – RMB 898/90ml In contrast to the feminine bottle, the fragrance within is best described as masculine. It starts with nutmeg and a musky scent, before being softened by light jasmine and Moroccan rose floral heart notes, and a sweet woody base. FASHION & BEAUTY PHOTOS: JUDY ZHOU AND COURTESY OF LANCOME, MAXMARA, SISLEY What options are available to sportsmen who’ve retired? Punditry? Endorsements of lean-fat grilling machines? Or starting your own fashion label? Well, it worked for Li Ning, and seemed tempting enough for Paolo Maldini and Christian Vieri to follow suit after the Italians’ respective football careers came to an end in 2003. They founded the brand Sweet Years, a successful streetwear label which is now available in Beijing’s Oriental Plaza. The Italian influence is immediately apparent, with the chic brand logo peppering the flattering outfits, decor of the store, and the Italian scooter in the window. We didn’t spot any football shirts on our visit, but were drawn to the pink bikini, with bowknot detail (RMB 1,200), and unisex hat with its golden chain adornment (RMB 895). A 30-percent off summer sale is currently in place on all products. Fiona Zhang Lancôme Magnifique Perfume – RMB 920/75ml This seductive perfume comes presented in an alluring ruby-red bottle. Inspired by all things Indian, the scent is characterized by spicy saffron and woody florals, and a blend of vetiver and sandalwood. This heady perfume is ideal for fall and winter, and best worn during the evening. Loro Piana Daily 10am-10pm. L117-119, 1/F, CCP Luxury Walk, 81 Jianguo Lu, Chaoyang District (5979 9823) 朝阳区建国路81号华贸购物中心1层L117-119 Summer’s over, and as winter approaches, it’s time to wrap up warm. If down jackets and polyester wool blends aren’t really your thing, it’s worth investing in cashmere. And if you’re going to splash out on this most luxurious of fabrics, you might as well go the whole hog. A purveyor of high-end clothing and accessories for both men and women, Loro Piana also happens to be one of the world’s leading cashmere suppliers. In-store you’ll find a selection of classic, stylish and subtly luxurious ready-to-wear garments, along with accessories, and leather goods for the home. We fell in love with the snug snowy white cashmere cardigan-cum-jacket, with a thick knobbly knit (RMB 26,800), and the jaw-droppingly beautiful (and expensive) brown vicuna wool blanket (RMB 70,000). Fiona Zhang Sisley Eau du Soir Limited Edition Perfume – RMB 1,780/100ml (at Lane Crawford) Eau du Soir is full of rich contrasts – the fragrance starts by releasing a balance of citric top notes followed by sensual floral and musky undertones. This is a limited edition scent, with an elaborate bottle, and a gilded, matte 18k gold stopper. www.thebeijinger.com October 2008 / the Beijinger www. thatsbj.com Sept. 2005 127 that’smags 1 DESIGNERS WE LOVE … 2 3 FASHION & BEAUTY 4 128 that’smags the 2005 Beijinger October 2008 Sept. www./ thatsbj.com www.thebeijinger.com MA KE by Fiona Zhang and Halla Mohieddeen S ustainability and eco-awareness may be in vogue, but precious few designers operate with this ethos as standard. Changchun-born Ma Ke, however, holds sustainability integral to all that she creates. A graduate of the Suzhou Institute of Silk Textile Technology, she held her debut fashion show in 1995, before launching her ready-to-wear women’s collection (Exception de Mixmind, www.mixmind.com) in 1996 and was invited to Paris to showcase her designs during the China Culture Week. More recently, in 2007, she was voted Asian Designer of the Year in Elle magazine, and was invited to Paris once more where she showed offerings from her couture label Wuyong (which translates as “useless”). The Wuyong label inspired Jia Zhangke’s award-winning documentary Useless, which focuses on mass-produced clothing. This year has been another good one for Ma. Her Wuyong collection has traveled from London’s V&A museum to the Paris Haute Couture Week, making her the fi rst Chinese designer in history to be invited to the event. “Luxury that can be bought does not nourish men; they need simplicity, the beauty of a tree, light, an exchange between beings” – Ma Ke DESIGN CONCEPT Ma Ke’s defi ning characteristic is that she rejects many of the principles so often associated with her industry, namely the rampant consumerism associated with fast fashion. Instead, she emphasizes quality, artisan techniques, and artistic expression, demonstrated by the fact that she only works with artisans who use handlooms. This way she is creating objects, which are “the bearers of values for the future.” The ready-to-wear collection, Exception de Mixmind, features this intricate craftsmanship, and uses sustainable fabrics like cotton and flax, which give the clothes a casual-looking feel and an artistic look. Indeed, art takes precedence over functionality, particularly in the Wuyong collections. Some critics describe her work as “anti-fashion,” but this esoteric, conceptual style fits perfectly with haute couture, which has long celebrated art and beauty rather than day-to-day practicality. 6 CATWALK REPORT FASHION & BEAUTY The Wuyong collection took the Paris Haute Couture week by storm. While little of it would appear to be, for want of a better word, wearable, there is much to be admired nonetheless. The clothing has a sculptural quality, with the elaborate, voluminous shapes. There is mud-like texture which comes from Ma Ke burying the fabrics in earth to “let nature add the fi nishing touches,” leaving an intriguing coloring and pattern. Whilst this collection is best considered as a work of art, rather than a simple fashion show, she uses her art to question usefulness, and hint towards a return to more earthy pursuits. 5 Photos: Wuyong "Luxurious Qin Pin" (1, 2, 4); Wuyong "The Earth" (3, 5, 6) www.thebeijinger.com October 2008 / the Beijinger www. thatsbj.com Sept. 2005 129 that’smags Hats – Japan Style A perfect pair, these two would fit in on any trendy street in Asia. They capture the current fascination with hats on boys. This kind of hat actually looks better on Asian guys, so I think this style will remain. They even do a good job making casual look louche. Vintage, At Last It’s finally happening. An appreciation of vintage and secondhand items is slowly creeping into first-tier cities on the Mainland. Initially, it was leather bags and jackets, but some of the more fashion-forward types are also going for dresses (this one, a print of ducks, was purchased in Amsterdam), jeans, and other items that were just made better before. Simple Animals A single, very well-designed beast is replacing the cartoony creatures that used to adorn T-shirts. Animals will no doubt appreciate the increase in respect shown through more accurate depictions using better fabrics. No one deserves it more than the panda. A SUMMARY OF THE SUMMERY Reviewing the style of Beijing’s trendy young things FASHION & BEAUTY text and photos by Nels Frye Trucker Hats and Baggy Jeans The innocent expression and ethnic shoes she crafted by hand should make her invulnerable to criticism, but the trucker hat and boyish, baggy jeans place her squarely in a global underclass of that’smags the Beijinger October 2005 www./from thatsbj.com girls lookingSept. cute in styles stolen thugs. 2008 130 On Every Trend One probably wouldn’t even notice this person but she is packing just as many current trends into her outfit as she has accessories and articles of clothing. The big LV bag (Asia’s emblem of class), the camo print belt, the stacked, skinny jeans and waistcoat www.thebeijinger.com (ubiquitous this summer), all of which place this pretty thing firmly in this moment. Skulls Vanity and mortality are not favored topics for hip young urbanites of hyper-optimistic Beijing, but then the skull has been co-opted globally by clever marketers and made a symbol of our unapologetic materialism. Even this latest creative rendition of the skull seems a bit dead. Boots and Shorts You’re surprised to see this picture. We all recognize this, but didn’t think it would appear in any kind of style page meant to appeal to foreigners. The fact is that this is one of the most representative looks in Beijing of the transition from summer to fall. After leaving this city, this image will remain etched in your memory forever. Ahmadinejad Collar The man just has a huge influence on everything from world events to fashion, from Beirut to Beijing. New England mothers used to clip off the top buttons of casual shirts to make sure their little boys wouldn’t look nerdy, but the poise of Mr. President, with a little bit of help from the runway shows of his pals at Prada, has associated the look with a stylish firmness and a confident rejection of needless ornamentation. Braces and Skinny Jeans Did anyone notice that Converses – symbol of freethinking and youth – became red this summer? Skinny jeans also became black, and girls studying finance adopted the Brit-rocker style of many of the young blokes, complete with the narrow, red, white and blue braces. R eaders sometimes poke fun at the people appearing on the pages of Stylites, but, at the risk of sounding defensive, the truth is that they are the most interesting and attractive Beijing pedestrians. The goal is usually to find people that stand out rather than those that follow the trends or best represent a period. However, now that the hot months are over, it seemed appropriate to review the trends that characterized Beijing as it enjoyed its moments in the sun. Uniqueness and style remain important, but take a back seat to timeliness for this Stylites. For more on the styles and trends in Beijing, check www.stylites.net – in English and Chinese FASHION & BEAUTY Androgyny Gets Chicer Girls unafraid to look boyish is nothing new; until the ‘80s, unisex dressing was a way of life for girls. But Li Yuchun made it fashionable for young people to escape the confines of cutesiness once again – her disciplines often looked contrived with mullets and shapeless clothes. Recently, though, sex-neutral looks on girls have become more interesting. China Every big brand from Adidas to Nike tried their version of the China shirts for the Olympics and they all became tiresome quickly. For those whose message is to be “I Love China but I can still be cool,” the destination of choice remains Plastered for www.thebeijinger.com T-shirts. Of course, those who value authenticity and style can always opt for a red silk jacket with big dragons. Skater Girls They’ve been growing in number. In Beijing, skating and the styles that are such an important aspect of it were more the province of men, but recently a number of girls are doing the look well. that’smags October 2008 / the Beijinger www. thatsbj.com Sept. 2005 131 TROUSER PRESS A TIME FOR SENTIMENTAL STYLES Nostalgia and the wardrobe of a modern autumnal man by Nels Frye W FASHION & BEAUTY e struggled to look stylish while sweating bolts through the summer. In winter, we stay in or bundle up. Spring is fraught with tension – we dress to strut. Once the season for making war, autumn is made for men, and it bears real sartorial fruits for our sex, with clothes that are comfortable and have a sensitive feel. Bring out the clothes with character – the ones that make us smile, lingering on sweet memories. Wear high-quality, inherited clothing if possible. Burn the floral and other prints with the fallen leaves, and turn to textures like houndstooth, herringbone and bird’s eye. Autumn is for hardy weaves and mature colors. We didn’t relish the thin fabrics of summer anyway. Now the heavy stuff men love emerges: corduroy, tweed, worsted wools, moleskin and flannels. Neutral tones – khaki, browns, grays and beiges – are the meat of autumn’s palette, while muted rusts and maroons are complements. In keeping with this nostalgic season, the looks recall classic eras in menswear; this is the time to visit the vintage shop. Styles from Great Britain and New England match quiet introspection and schoolboy-like erudition. In autumn, spend hours every day sitting under a tree struggling through history tomes like Gibbon or the Spring and Autumn Annals. Such pursuits call for a corduroy suit with leather buttons in brown or hunter green – the trousers and top are perfect as separates – or perhaps a sturdy tweed jacket. A cashmere jumper, easiest to match in beige or light gray, will insulate against gales from the northwest. Once the season for making war, autumn is made for men, and it bears real sartorial fruits 132 that’smags the 2005 Beijinger October 2008 Sept. www./ thatsbj.com www.thebeijinger.com PHOTO: SIMON LIM Accessories are more distinguishing than flashy cuts, and a driving cap or flat cap – called the “tractor cap” in China – has been a favorite for centuries. A slim repp tie or checked wool and cashmere seem perfectly Ivy League or Oxbridge. Scarves are the masters of this poetic season and they can be linen and cotton blends in October, wool in November, and cashmere in early December. Horizontal stripes in lively colors allude to schooldays, but scarves are generally a good place to experiment. The fi rst frost reminds us that forced introversion is approaching; coats will be needed for gatherings beyond the home. A moleskin in camel or navy, hitting just above the knee is good for mid-autumn, while the peacoat is a staple for welcoming winter. Brown or burgundy footwear is choice and brogues, the rage from Tokyo to London, really are a good investment. Autumn is always Beijing’s best time. That melancholic kind of day, when decay seems so romantic, can happen even in this most upbeat and futuristic of cities.
