Fur Hat – Lane Crawford Party

fur-hat

In the dead of winter, hatless Beijingers wearing heavy quilted coats swear hats are not stylish, and snicker when foreigners repeat the old “30% of body heat” thing. Hopefully, Yao Yao’s example can prove that cranial warmth can be chic. This picture didn’t actually appear in That’s Beijing. In fact, they didn’t use most of my shots of females from the Lane Crawford Party, preferring the males.
