After something of a respite from the cold, snow and freezing air returned to Beijing over the last few days. The puffy coats were out in force again. Here was one of the more colorful examples.

Tourists from Jinan从济南来的游客

This couple that runs a fashion boutique in Jinan, Shandong Province, were in Beijing for Chinese New Year Holiday. Despite warmer weather, the last week has not been terribly stylish in Beijing as the streets have been dominated by tourists.

这对儿山东济南的服装商店老板春节来北京旅游。这个星期潮人特少－到处都是游客。

LifeStyle Photoshoot《品味生活》大片儿


Photo: Teresa Yeh

I felt so bad that Stylites had not yet mentioned BNC, that we did a whole photo shoot for LifeStyle Magazine just using brands from the foremost multi-brand boutique in Beijing focused exclusively on local brands. Editor Eric Gao took the lead on this and the results can be seen in the February issue the magazine. For those who don’t know, LifeStyle is the bilingual publication that I edit.

开篇：

外表堂堂，内心反叛。精神高调，行头低调。商务男犹如黑白企鹅的内心挣扎，无时不被正装束缚于钢筋丛林之中。不愿再继续恪守着装的金科玉律束缚。谁说始作俑者不能是好事？踢开布洛格鞋、丢开条纹西服，让我们一起跨入反叛！

Shop: BNC

I am very late to this one as the New York Times and all the major local publications all covered media mogul Hong Huang’s multi-brand boutique BNC a couple months ago. With the most Chinese independent brands of any shop in the country – over a hundred of them – BNC is currently the number one shopping destination here in Beijing for those into fashion and design. This is a rare example of a shop with very few items that can be found anywhere else.

The knit shirt and bow tie above are by Non.Season. I will post an interview with designer Zhang Di here within the next week.

Beyond all of the fashion, BNC also carries a large variety of nice design knick-knacks, many of which make great gifts. If you are looking for something distinctive from Beijing, this is the ideal destination, especially because it is located right in Sanlitun.

店铺里有很多中国设计师的东西，这件T-shirt和领结就是张迪的设计，是纯羊绒的，领结很有意思！

除了衣服，还有一些家居摆设！
