32 October 2013 // www.thatsmags.com Cheap Monday

If you follow fashion news, you may have noticed that grunge is back. That bold, badass style that was all the rage in the 90s experienced a huge revival on last year’s fall/winter catwalks – only, this time around it has been given a polish for grown-up women. Rolling with the trend, Cheap Monday’s au- tumnal collection for both him and her is a commercial take on the look and its youthful iconoclasm. Aptly called “Artificial Grunge,” the line takes a cue from the crisp Seattle weather, circa 1992 – featuring mesh, layer- worthy button downs, mono- chromatic lines and graphic contrasts – for a range that’s strong and sturdy. RMB150- 1,100. // Mixtra K11, Unit B118, B1/F, 300 Huaihai Zhong Lu, by Huangpi Nan Lu 淮海中路300 号B1楼B118, 近黄陂南路 threeSociety

Contemporary and highly wearable, threeSociety is fast becoming one of Shanghai’s most exciting menswear labels. Particularly popular with the dapper dudes out there, its range offers clean, minimal looks highly suitable to be layered and styled for different situations, with slim-cut silhouettes and a carefully considered neutral color palette that don’t follow fleeting trends. For fall/winter, slim pants, double-breasted coats, cropped jackets, tailored shirts and jumpers and linear suits all make an appearance, with leather details added here and there (a sleeve, a collar) for extra drama. Deep wintery hues prevail throughout the collection, but a few bright pops of color in the shape of a cheerful jumper or a modish bowtie will no doubt draw the eyes of a style-conscious man. RMB399-1,695. // 157 Jinxian Lu, by Maoming Nan Lu 进贤路157号, 近茂名南路 (6217 8182, threesociety.com)

fiber in the luxury fashion market and educate consumers to it. Yak down fiber is highly compara- ble to cashmere; it’s extremely warm and very soft and yet we don’t see it in department stores alongside wool, alpaca and cashmere. That, of course, is due to the fact that 80 percent of the fiber is found in western China, an area that is not well connected to the rest of the world. Chinese textile factories are not known to be the most innovative, so they have never really pushed yak down nor presented it to the global industry.

That’s what we’re striving to change with Shokay. The more we treat yak down as a luxury and noble fiber, the more it will become viable and accepted among fashion makers and consumers. Shokay co-founder Carol Chyau sporting some yak stuff at the brand's showroom

56 October 2013 // www.thatsmags.com Copycat towns

Sometimes, photo studios just don’t cut it when it comes to recreating the Weddings by Ling Weddings olden days.

Looking for a more ‘authentic’ location? Worry not. China’s fake European towns can help you fulfill all of your medieval, Victorian or Renaissance dreams.

Often built as tourist attractions, these cities are perfect replicas of Old World villages, offering unparalleled settings for staged photo ops.

Near Shanghai, in Songjiang District, Thames Town is as close to a traditional English village as you could possibly wish. Complete with Tudor buildings, cobbled streets and a Gothic church – but also a Winston Churchill statue and red telephone booths – the satellite suburb acts as a gigantic outdoor studio. On any given day Chinese couples in their fancy duds flock en masse for a dreamy (and highly cheesy) session with the camera.

If old England doesn’t do it for you, Tianducheng, near Hangzhou, is a Paris clone, complete with an Eiffel Tower. More into a snowy, Tyrolese background? Mosey out to Guangdong, where a replica of the entire Austrian alpine village of Hallstatt will no doubt recreate that idyllic hilly vibe you’re after.

Known in Beijing for snapping up historical buildings from as far back as the Ming Dynasty and turning them into deluxe hotel and restaurant spots, this first JE venture in Shanghai exudes more Gallic charms.

Originally used as the French Consulate in 1914, no expense has been spared to turn this stunning acquisition – the largest French villa in Shanghai, covering more than 5,000 sqm – into a series of sumptuous meeting, relaxation and dining rooms with lavish trappings, beautiful colors and high-end cuisine.

Draped in the hush of luxury, French restaurant Villandry channels the building’s history. Aside from the veneer of gloved waiters, antique furniture and white linen napkins, the kitchen is presided over by Executive Chef Vincent Ren – a Taiwan native who was the first Chinese graduate from the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute. After stints in various Michelin-starred restaurants in France, Ren returned to his native soil in 1996 Everything, from appetizer to dessert, is given artistic flourish and has been working to further the development of French cuisine in Asia ever since. cake (RMB58) is enlivened with The gratin onion soup offers all of the dots of syrup all shades of the His training in Old World arts rainbow.

In many Western countries, the use of large-scale photographic mammography screening significantly improves early diagnosis, but because the body density structure of Chinese females differs, the large area X-rays are not appropriate. Presently, there is no nationally established breast cancer screening program, but non-profits like the CBCF are working to raise awareness and fund research to help advance treatment procedures.
