BY S.E. SMITH

If you’ve been in the city long enough, chances are you’ve noticed an increasing number of willowy individuals strutting the streets. Each week, another wave of foreigners breaks over Guangzhou, leaving behind more and more lean and lissome bodies in its swash. Though many wouldn’t think of the City of Flowers as host to the beautiful and stem-like, Guangzhou has a sizeable expat model community – blossoming in fact. Harder than finding a four-leaf clover is a model that has the time to talk, and extracting their age is nigh on impossible. Not to be deterred, That’s PRD sought out some of the city’s in vogue inhabitants to learn about the beautiful and the beastly parts of their profession.

Laszlo Huiber Tomas

Born and raised in Germany by a Macedonian mother and a father from Slovenia, Tomas is one of the more veteran models working in Guangzhou today. A former pro basketball player for German team the Weissenhorn Youngstars, the multi-linguist’s biggest dream was to play in the NBA. Since going full time with modeling four years back, Tomas has worked with some pretty big names, including Jia Jingwen in a jewelry advertisement and Zhang Dongjian for a Sinoer clothing commercial. He is even set to appear alongside Chow Yun-fat in an upcoming movie.

In total, he has been modeling for eight years,Tomas working first the arrived camera in Guangzhou in Italy, Taiwan, back America,in 2010 and India has and been all across China. Guangzhou is a draw to overseas models, according to Tomas, because “it’s a huge market and the pay is quite decent.” In countries where the economy isn’t strong, unstable Italy for example, there may be “the chance to hit top brands and the pay is more, but you work way less and the cost of living is higher, so there isn’t a chance to save money like in China.” As to what exactly a model can pull in over here, Tomas, like everyone in the local industry, is tightlipped.

But not everyone is working that well. Some countries like you more, some countries like you less.

As a general rule, the sermon of 'less is more' is a fail-free approach to stylish but credible dressing. Yet, sometimes, it’s the details that really make an outfit work. The bits and pieces that finish a look can completely change the accent of something you’ve had for years and deliver a quick fashion fix to an otherwise uninspiring closet. The key is about creating contrasts – team some color pop clutch pouches with a pair of crisp white block heels, or tone down a neon tee with a leather belt in neutral tan. Summer is the perfect time to experiment – sunny days call for bright hues and eye-popping touches, funky jewelry and hip sunglasses. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the hottest accessories to rock this season. Tip your cap (or fedora) to the months ahead with these must-haves.

There Are No Rules Patricia Kopatchinskaja, the rogue violinist who goes her own way

BY Tom Lee

ritics are not always kind to Patricia Kopatchinskaja. Her furi- ous interpretations of hallowed classical pieces, coupled with her penchantC for controversial cadenzas, have led some journalists to dub her a disrespect- ful, hysterical egoist. These few, however, are her passionate performances absolutely riv- increasinglyeting, a fact reinforced outweighed just by last those month, who whenfind Kopatchinskaja added to her trophy cabinet her most prestigious accolade yet: the Royal Philharmonic Society’s award for the best instrumentalist of the year. Here, she chats to us about spirituality, exhaustion and why she frightens concert organizers.

You’ve been variously described as ‘explosive,’ ‘manic’ and ‘courageous,’ a sort of musical warrior. When you are preparing for a performance, does it feel a bit like going into battle? Battle is probably the wrong word, this sounds too aggressive to me. I rather feel a duty to give the music everything I have. Not only my temperament, also my humor, my tenderness and love. With all this I want to reach and even transgress the ‘normal’ limits.

BY Van Fan

Curated by Marko Daniel, the 8th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale is currently underway. Daniel, who also works on public programs for London’s Tate Modern, has selected pieces around the theme of ‘social sculpture.’ A concept originally developed by the late German artist and theorist Joseph Beuys, it expands the notion of sculpture from material objects to social relationships, building a “social organism as a work of art” by engendering relational and participatory artworks. Here, we’ve picked some of the highlights.
