Kat Don and Dan Touff met in Beijing in 2001 while studying Chinese at Tsinghua. This is the kind of Beijing couple that naturally oozes comfort in having lived abroad for many years and they sport an internationally-chic wardrobe to match. Kat, going on her fourth year in Beijing, frequents what she calls “private boutiques based out of people’s homes” which sell the latest designer pieces bought at sample sales in Hong Kong. She’s not giving away her secret contacts, she tells us these places operate strictly “by word of mouth.” Other Beijing shopping gems Kat adores include the Eyeglasses Market near Panjiayuan and the boutique shops in Nali Mall. For guy fashion finds, Dan uses his local tailor for business attire, Tailor Ma. He also finds cool threads at Zara. In this shot, he is sporting the lust-worthy, rasta-inspired Adidas jacket bought at the new flagship store in The Village at Sanlitun, along with sporty cherry Nike kicks from Deal near Gulou. The most fashionable things these two lovebirds sport? Newly acquired engagement rings—the hottest accessory for a couple approaching their next chapter in life. Congratulations to the capital’s “it” couple, and thanks for being so fashionably adorable together.
