Above is the second Porcelain Polo – to be worn by a woman – created by Artist Li Xiaofeng for the fifth Holiday Collector’s Series of Lacoste. This fusion of traditional Chinese culture, Chinese contemporary art and global fashion isa one-of-a-kind piece made from over 300 porcelain shards. The two porcelain polos must be the most valuable redesign yet of the of the classic pique cotton polo by brand founder René Lacoste. This earlier entry has photos of the first Porcelain Polo and here is the cotton version being be sold around the world in a limited edition of 20,000. The motifs on the Porcelain Polos comment on the concepts of logo, commercialization, and East and West, two poles that this project promises to bring closer.

Made from feathers found on Pleasant Beach, New Jersey and a silk bow, this hat from Elisabeth Koch Millinery is dramatic indeed, especially on actress Li BingBing. She is also wearing Elisabeth’s creations on the October cover of Harper’s Bazaar and on quite a few internal spreads. One-of-a-kind, the hat debuted in late September and sells for RMB 2250. Every single hat is made entirely by Elisabeth, who supplies local expatriates as well as the nonconformist wives of industrialists, government officials and wily magnates. Her hats are borrowed by magazines for photo shoots just about every week.

“Everything superfluous has to go. Only the essential has to remain.”
That is the quote on the back of this pair of navy N.D.C. Made by Hand boat shoes, which do manage feature a bit of ornamentation in the form of the quote itself and the yacht motif etched on the sole. Still, these classics would be as at home worn with lobster print shorts on deck off the coast of Nantucket as they would be paired with slim khakis enjoying a cocktail on a rooftop bar overlooking the hutongs. They are as comfortable as booties, so don’t worry about taking a long stroll after that drink.
