Pollution masks A rather disgustingly polluted winter in Beijing, Shanghai, Harbin, etc. meant pollution masks suddenly got a lot of attention from folks fretting about the state of their lungs. Riding the concern, a number of anti-pollution mask companies decided to give the Bane look a makeover, churning out stylish numbers featuring prints, patterns and tongue-in-cheek logos. The upper echelons of fashion followed suit, with swanky, crystal-embedded masks sported on the runways of a number of Chinese designers. If you’re looking for the must-have accessory of 2014, this is it.

16 December 2014 / www.thatsmags.com APEC couture APEC, which was held in Beijing last month, is a platform to discuss major international issues. But we also like to look at it as an annual opportunity to bring some fashion talk into politics. Honoring a tradition started in 1993, heads of state taking part in the meeting spend a whole day decked out in the traditional dress of the host nation for a photo op – which can say a lot about a politician’s style creds. Some years the connection to tradition seems a bit more, well, tenuous. Donning maroon silk Chinese jackets inspired by a Chinese men’s shirt called changpao, Presidents Xi, Obama, Putin et al all looked like they were part of an elite Star Trek convention, not an economic summit. Not a strong look. Yet people loved it, and once again it was Taobao to the rescue with copycat versions flooding the site for RMB170- 1,000. Live long and prosper, world leaders.

Walking cabbages At the beginning of May, the headline 'China’s Depressed Youth Keep Cabbages as Pets' quickly made the rounds around the globe (must have been a pretty slow news day, but hey). According to the story, the green vegetables were being taken for walks by teens around the country as a way to get over depression and loneliness. The first youngsters to start the ‘trend’ were spotted at Beijing’s Midi Festival (where, to tell the truth, cabbages are pretty abundant). Interviewed by a few reporters, a Chinese psychiatrist said: “The idea is simple – you feel as lonely and as simple as a cabbage, so you begin to act like one and befriend one.” Similarly, a teenager caught with their green pet was quoted as saying: “I have more interest for my cabbage than I do for my parents. I feel it understands me.” Right… Anyway, That Jaycee Chan look… in the span of two days, the news was Mainly known for being Jackie Chan’s son (we all gotta start somewhere), Jaycee Chan was dismissed as fake (you don’t say?).

Placenta please Nothing hits the spot quite like some savory human placenta. Despite being made illegal in 2005, three Causeway Bay medicinal shops in Hong Kong were found stocking bags of human birth sacks in August. Even more in demand, of course, are the Hong Kong establishments that make biscuits from dehydrated, ground placenta. We went to Taobao and found that the word 'placenta' (taipan) was actually not allowed as a search term. However, when we searched 'placenta Addictive noodles capsules,' four commodities showed up: three A noodle shop owner in Shaanxi Province from Japan (RMB1,500-2,500/box) with was detained in September for adding opium no description indicating if the placenta in poppies to his noodles, in a cunning attempt to question was human or otherwise.

Because there traces of drugs came from the noodles he had are no other ways to get nutrients or iron, devoured early in the morning. He then got apparently. his entire family to eat at the same restaurant and take urine tests (umm… let’s not even bother), which confirmed his theory. Sadly for Sherlock Liu, he was still detained for 15 days on drug charges. The restaurant owner later admitted that he had purchased 2 kilograms of poppy shells for RMB600, and found out that sprinkling them into his dishes saw customers returning faster than he could say Xanadu. Until, you know, they realized they were being drugged.

by Jocelyn Richards

ou may know the qipao as that skintight cocoon of a dress that only seems to fit the slenderest figure – and that’s before lunch. Sure, the modern qipao packs its fair share of intimidation into each snug thread, yet historically, the dress was not meant to daunt the female physique but flatter it. A Y mathematically sound design proven to idealize each and every curve of a woman, the qipao can be striking on any body type if tailored correctly. Timeless and intricate, a traditional customized qipao requires no less than 24 physical measurements before it can be crafted correctly.

DECEMBER 29 Russian National Orchestra The Russian National Orchestra (RNO) was founded in 1990 by pianist and conductor Mikhail Pletnev and today is widely recognized as one of the world’s top orchestras. Of its debut at the BBC Proms in London, The Evening Standard wrote, “They played with such captivating beauty that the audience gave an involuntary sigh of pleasure.” The RNO is also described as “a living symbol of the best in Russian art” (Miami Herald), “as close to perfect as one could hope for” (Trinity Mirror), and “astoundingly virtuosic” (Glasgow Herald).
