4 | september 2016 | www.thatsmags.com Editor's Note ow into its 14th edition, our annual That’s Shanghai Food & Drink Awards was held last month at Fusion. As always, the Nparty was attended by hundreds of Shanghai’s F&B elite to celebrate the great work they’ve been doing over the past year… and what a blast we had. The big winners of 2016? Mr & Mrs Bund (Restaurant of the Year),

september The Nest (Bar of the Year) and Le Baron (Club of the Year). No big surprises there, really. They’re awesome. They’re consistent. There’s always great fun to be had. As for the new kids on the block? Baoism, The Parrot and Elevator took home top prizes in their respective categories for newbies. In our Mad Men-themed cover story you’ll see the full list of all the winners and photos from the awards ceremony at Fusion. See if your favorites made the cut starting on p50. Speaking of the theme, avid readers of That’s Shanghai will know that we always do a playful photo shoot inspired famous movies or TV shows with familiar faces in Shanghai’s F&B circle on the cover of our September issue. Ever wonder how these photo shoots are created? In the Life & Style section, I’ve put together a little behind the scenes feature (p28) on how we imposed the looks of Mad Men characters on Paul Eschbach, Mark Klingspon, Yao Lu, Anna Bautista and Camden Hauge.

On the second floor of the apartment is a guestroom, and the couple uses it as a TV room when they don’t have visitors.

Compared to their previous apartment on Yongjia Lu, the couple prefers their current neighborhood near Jiaotong University for how quiet it is. “When it’s not too hot, we can sleep with the windows open and we don’t hear anything except for the sounds of birds chirping in the morning,” Tegetthoff tells us.

When Liu and Tegetthoff first moved in, the only piece of furniture in the apartment was the white couch. Over the past year, the couple have slowly decorated their place with things they found in antique shops in Shanghai and Beijing, Taobao, IKEA and second hand items from expats who are moving away. Liu says, “It was mostly Kira [who did the decorations]; we now have more stuff than the previous tenants with three kids!”

The spacious rooftop terrace is their favorite spot in the house, where they often host barbecue parties with friends. It also holds a special meaning for them, as this is the place where Liu proposed to Tegetthoff last year. “The entire terrace was covered with candles, and Brad Turley from Goga came over to cook us a 12-course dinner,” Tegetthoff says. “I’m always going to be attached to this apartment because of that.”

Beara Beara Vintage Leather Bags from London

By Dominic Ngai

- ravel writer Jake Bullough was living in Bolivia when he encoun tered a local family who had been making and selling leather bags in a small shop for many years. Fascinated by their craftsmanship and hard work, Bullough began supplying the family with his own designs to produce, and this collaboration eventually turned into the operation model for his successful line of vintage Tleather bags, Beara Beara, in September 2012. Since then, the London-based brand has gained international recognition with endorsements from celebrities like Taylor Swift, - and it was time for Bullough to expand. For him, choosing Shanghai- as the first Beara Beara location outside of the UK was an easy deci sion: “It’s a city full of creative, industrious, worldly, cultured, styl ish and modern people. [There’s no] better place to showcase the brand than in one of the coolest cities in the world.” Located in an alleyway just off Madang Lu near Xintiandi, the walls of the Beara Beara showroom are neatly covered with briefcases, backpacks, satchels- and handbags, all handmade from cowhide from lowland ar eas of Bolivia. Prices range from RMB700-3,000 per item. The old- school Santa Anna brown leather satchel – which comes in two sizes (RMB1,500 or RMB1,600) – is the brand’s bestseller after - Taylor Swift was seen sporting it multiple times on her 2012 con cert tour around the world. For now, Bullough is happy with the pace of Beara Beara’s growth but he’s also looking to expand to cities like Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Melbourne, New York and San Francisco when the time is right.

www.thatsmags.com | september 2016 | 27 Food & Drink Awards Cover Shoot: The Making of Words by Dominic Ngai, Photos by Mario Grey and Betty Richardson

28 | september 2016 | www.thatsmags.com Every year, the September issue of That’s Shanghai is all about our annual Food & Drink Awards, which has been celebrating the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, clubs and F&B personalities for 14 years.

The cover of this issue is always a playful take on the posters or scenes from an iconic movie and TV show, replaced with familiar faces from Shanghai’s F&B circle. Having toyed with A Clockwork Orange, Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs in recent years, our team decided on the Emmy Award-winning American period drama series, Mad Men, as our theme for 2016.

Over a few Old Fashioned-filled brainstorming sessions, we came up with our game plan and important elements for executing the shoot: the location, the ‘models,’ hair and make-up and costumes. LOCATION LONG BAR, WALDORF ASTORIA

As many of the scenes from Mad Men featuring multiple cast members occur in high-end New York bars and restaurants, Long Bar at the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund immediately came to mind as the perfect spot to recreate the timeless glamor that serves as the backbone of the show. - The building that houses the Bund-side luxury hotel was originally the Shanghai Club – an exclu sive British gentlemen’s club frequented by the city’s rich and famous when it opened in 1910. More than a century later, The Long Bar’s (which was the most famous feature of the Shanghai Club) extravagance remains in tact, and the city’s glorious charms live on in a room lined with a dark wood bar counter and alcohol cabinets, leather furniture, vintage lamps amd - historical photos of the building and Shanghai – all accompanied by soothing smooth jazz and a sym phony of clinking cocktail or wine glasses every night.> 2 Zhongshan dong Yi lu, by guangdong lu 中山东一路2号上海外滩华尔道夫酒店, 近广东路 (6322 9988)

“Betty Draper was almost a Stepford wife – immaculate makeup, flawless hair, coiffed to perfection. For Camden, styl- ist Eason went for exactly that: back- combing for volume, a curling iron to create those signature Betty Draper locks, and smoothing over the hair to ensure there wasn’t a strand out of place, just like the impeccable Mrs. Draper,” Heaphy explains. Camden’s makeup mirrors that poised hairdo as well: “It’s important to keep a clean look, flawless skin with a strong brow and sharp liquid eyeliner.”

“For Anna's makeup, we used bold lipstick and slightly dark- er eyes to show the more seductive and less demure side of the Joan character.”

anna bautista

Though both Betty and Joan are from the same era, they have completely different personalities, which are reflected in their styling choices. “Unlike Betty, the character of Joan is more liberal, playful… and more seductive. Anton played with one of Joan’s famous styles – a partial beehive to show that stern and professional side that her character so famously plays in the series – but leaves it playful enough to show another side of her. To get that signature look, Anton backcombed, curled and gave a polished look to smooth things out,” Heaphy says.

In the Restaurants Awards at Baci (“Nali?” again), M on the Bund picked up three and Ashanti Dome two. 2004 One award ceremony this time, in the Ambrosia garden on Fenyang.

You could say that Kevin Chen and Jiang Yongyue are the dream team in China when it comes to educational startups.

Chen and Jiang tell us what made this experience different than the rest.

Why did you choose Shanghai? We didn’t consciously decide on Shanghai as a place to create our startup; we were both already here. Shanghai is an exciting, dynamic and international city where many world cultures come together. For a company that seeks to connect people around the world, it’s a great place to be.

What was the inspiration for your business? There are so many people who fail to learn a language because they never use the language.

Why did you decide to co-found your company? Making an idea come to life is a daunting task, and it helps to have a partner to share that risk and responsibility. Doing a startup in China is even tougher as a foreigner, so it helps to have a Chinese partner. Since our job is connecting people internationally, it helps to have both local and foreign perspectives.

What makes your startup unique? italki is unusual in that we’re a company based in China that serves a global user base, whereas most companies that come to or start in China are focused on the Chinese market.
