Maybe Its Fashion

Bla Bla Blahhh Updates

2010-06-23T13:03:00.000-07:00

1. Yes yes, just when I decided to get myself a fedora..... the fashion world must announce that HATS are the new "in" "fad" "it" "must-have" items at the Resort '11 shows.

2. Gosh I was just having a casual talk with a friend this afternoon about - TANNING - and the horrendous machines with their disturbing bright blue lamps. Heck its like stuffing yourself into an oven which looks like a coffin (ironic isn't it). So while updating myself on the world a while ago, I stumbled across this: Tanning addiction is now considered a medical disorder. HOHOHO well I mean its nothing new that excessive tanning can lead to melanoma (skin cancer) but now they're saying it can develop into dependence! Yes, along with alcoholism and ilicit drug usage, we can now add TANNING in as well :D

3. Mariah Carey (love her) has just recently launched 3 of her new fragrances (again?!) called Mine Again, Ribbon and Honey in collaboration with Estee Lauder. Its been inspired by different types of candy pops and lollies. Aw M, please no more fragrances..... rejuv your voice and get back to your former glory - IN MUSIC, NOT MERCHANDISE! - cuz right now you do sound like you've been drinking your own parfums ~ but I'll still love yah :P

4. SALES YES BLOODY SALES IS ON!
EMPTY YOUR WALLETS, WEAR YOUR PLATINUM/WTV-FREAKIN-COLOUR-IT-IS CARD OUT! p.s. just make sure you pay your debts after the indulgence :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hmmm.... that's all for now I guess - wish me luck for my final exam paper which is TODAY WTF!?@#

SALES

2010-06-23T12:51:00.000-07:00

Oh gosh here we go again..... its mid year and time to forage the discount bins for cheap thrills :P Shit - tis' the season when my bank account haemorrhages like its got ebola ~!! And Topman Online must have their bloody 1/2 price sale around this time of my adversity or more like poverty XP Anyways most of the sizes are gone (damn) but they've still got pretty decent spoils leftover. Check it out by clicking the image link below:

Oh My, Gucci..... OMG

2010-06-19T08:09:00.000-07:00

Behold, the Gucci Fall/Winter 2010 handbag collection..... snooze..... Looks like they've paid a visit to wrinkleville and dullsland for inspiration -.- I'm not saying all the bags there are terrible but the majority of it seems somewhat skewed towards the "unimaginative" vintage look. (okay the mean persona of my bipolarity just said I have to age in order to tote them..... that was mean!~) Its tough love from me, Gucci *sobs*

I'm sure her studded Birkin will come in handy if ever she's in Malaysia for a holiday -.- it'll give the snatch thieves a nice whooping on their arse. Other stupendous lady-defence fashion items include:

Givenchy's previous season sandals

Christian Siriano's piece would deliver a lethal stab to potential mugger's 'nads

Sweet dreams and good body armour

Madge's eye-gouging JPG boobie dress

Chainmail (by Dolce&Gabbana) and robotic outfit on Beyonce is sure to give her body the optimum guard :D

But I reckon nothing can beat this:

The Durian. I HEART THIS FRUIT.
Ladies, Imma make this into a bag one day and worry no more of your safety XP
gosh I think the smell itself would deter someone from even actually stepping within 100m of the bearer :D

Armadillove.

2010-06-07T13:51:00.000-07:00

Yeah its a couple months late but heck, its bloody out of this world and will never date/Genius McQueen. Marvelous yet freaky as hell, and I'm pretty sure the same goes to wearing it but when its Gaga-worthy, you know its stupendiculous!~

and so is the creature.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but I reckon this, the awesome pangolin would make a fab muse/inspiration for new designs :D

Hiatus Over

A declaration to the end of my moratorium on this blog.

Some drawings made a while ago.....

Leonadisse Diamante necklace attached dress

and Silk Smoke (silk dress-pants with gradient sequins)

In Right Now..... (Update)

2009-08-15T08:26:00.000-07:00

An evaluation brings to a conclusion that:

Florals
Metallics
Embellishments
Stripes
Gradients
Lace

are the current trends in fashion.

Anyways, due to the heck load of assignments and other stuff, this blog has been neglected yet again. So its about time again for an UPDATE (again from the Fall 09' Couture):

Armani Privé - gorgeous, stunning, sleek and clean. extensive use of contrast, black and metallics.

Chanel - the usual (actually rather.....erk.....) tweed monocolour set (jacket + skirt) and some rather pretty dresses. Not a fan of the veil cap.

Givenchy had a rather interesting approach, employing lots of Middle Eastern and West Asian inspired cues. *Although the third one looks like what you can easily get from any clothing store in Little India.....

Just one for the moment. Sorry for the hiatus :P

Once upon a time in PAC2171 lecture

2009-04-18T04:32:00.000-07:00

Dreadfully bored, or perhaps sheer laziness? Anyways, decided doodling on my lab report was the best so.....

Random doodling from yesterday..... 2 variations of the dress but the bottom was the original. Dress name is the title of this post.

I (heart) New York Part 3

2009-03-29T19:21:00.001-07:00

Michael Kors, darn his collection is huge.....

Hervé Léger (for Max Azria), for the edg-ier NYC girls

Carolina Hererra, again, the use of metallics; and wool trenches.

Diane Von Furstenberg, clean collection, although the beanies and bags look like floor mats and mops.

Derek Lam, not bad although I don't condone the overuse of fur.....

Nanette Lapore, vibrant and earthy?

Badgley Mischka, New York's Dolce & Gabbana..... quite an attractive collection; use of satin, metallics and ornaments are nice.

Narciso Rodriguez, casual but semi-formal. (Jason Wu's mentor)

Jason Wu; the up and coming (designed Michelle Obama's dress for the inaugration ball)

Shoes. Lets get some Shoes.

2009-03-24T17:34:00.000-07:00

From the fantastic to the sadistic, this year's Fall Collection shoes is an entertaining one. Most of them feature themed heels which is the "in thing" right now.

The awesomes (had to change the arrangement due to bloody Blogger...... pain in the ass):

Karl Lagerfeld stole my curved heel design for Chanel's collection.....

Dolce & Gabbana's wedges with embellishments are not bad but the tall wedges and use of same coloured material makes it rather dull.

Marc Jacob's Fall 09' runway shoes inspired by clogs. Honestly, his in store collections are way better

Bottega Veneta.

Prada. These mohawk heels were the only decent ones out of the overly ruggard collection.

The metal sole and heels of Stella McCartney's collection just means business. I love it.

The awesome studded shoes from Givenchy.

John Galliano's spectacularly outrageous Russian-Balkan folklore inspired shoes.

and his Christian Dior line is also edgy. Throw in the curved heels with metal embellishment, stunning.

Marc Davis (not to be confused with Marc Jacobs) with his pretty bowtie heel shoes and boots for Louis Vuitton. Matches well with Marc Jacob's LV handbags too.

Christian Louboutin's trademark red soles for 3.1 Phillip Lim. Simple, elegant and classy.

The ?????s:

Olivier Theyskens heeless shoes for Nina Ricci's Fall 2009 collection is just..... INSANE. (the dress on the first one's a looker though)

Alexander McQueen's platforms are just..... "captivatingly" garish. Total fuglyfest.

I (heart) New York Part 2

2009-03-24T17:24:00.000-07:00

3. Marc Jacobs, as usual, never fails to put up a collection which blends vibrant colours, character and playfulness, with a hint of business in it.

4. Zac Posen; of coats, trenches and metallics.

5. Abaeté by Laura Poretzky, sleek and Chanel-esque.

Next post will be on shoes :D Followed by New York Part 3.

I (heart) New York Part 1

2009-03-23T03:06:00.000-07:00

Just a few of my favourites from the NY Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week (RTW, Fall 09'):

1. Catherine Malandrino is just simply stunning.

2. Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano. Never fails to impress with clean slates and a slight tinge of flamboyance.

And his shoe.....he created the ultimate fashion/weapon tool for the women in today's perillous world, "killer" looks:

Part 2 will be up shortly.

Collection from the Bygone Era

2009-03-21T03:17:00.000-07:00

Something which I came out with early last year. Ready-to-wear.

On one note, this Marc Jacobs dress from the 2009 Fall Collection (NY) is very déjà vu.....

And then I wonder why this Zac Posen trench (Fall 2009, NYC) looks uncannily similar to the one in my blog header..... (sans the dress inside)

Next: My top favourites and the best of the trash from the NY Fashion Week (Feb 09')
