No commentsWith Milan switching to Paris, the annual twice fashion week is closing to an end again. I’ve recently seen this image in London Metro newspaper and couldn’t help but scan it and share it here. Because it really makes me think again.
The pink and white stripy T-shirt and over-washed jeans. It all seems very familiar and reminds me of Italian designer duo DSquare2′s collection (which you have a peek below here.)
But when I read on, the story was quite shocking - Children and old people had to edge along a narrow cliff-side path to collect water as drought grips their village. They live in one of the worst-hit areas of China, where almost all the crops have failed as streams have dried up. And they are forced to make daily trips along the perilous track to find drinking water in caves!!
While some of us are raving about what to wear next season, some other human beings in the world are worrying about food and fresh water… This makes me think again, but we can’t help with the buzz of newness flashing over every single season, can we?!

No commentsNYFW has been nearly a week and close to its ending. Accessories wise the first I noticed ever was of course Alexander Wang’s ‘Gang’ (that’s what he calls his girls this season). The super pointy pump looks very striking and crying out to fetch everyone’s attention. After having a decade of semi round toes and semi pointy toes, I was not sure at the beginning how to accept it, also because they also look quite painful!
But soon later, I started to notice that there’s a whole group of designers joining the trend of nineties-ish pointy shoes! And believe or not, if you’re a kool kid in NYFW showbiz, then your models would be rocking a pair of pointy shoes.
Altuzarra’s pointy shoes are less motorcycle themed as Wang’s and a bit more of a power lady look.
Daryl K’s pointy shoe boots are more rock n roll
Duro Olowu’s metallic pointy pumps are very pretty lady tasteful!
Thakoon and Peter Som’s collections are also included with semi pointy shoes. Now I realized most of the kool kids from NYFW are definitely at top of the new trend waves…yes bring back a bit of 90s and bring back some sharpness from those olden days!

No commentsPeople in East London know this bar very well, but for those who are not in East London, this bar is a great place to meet up with people for beers, cocktails and brilliant true Italian pizzas. They do sometimes change their art-displays from time to time and recently it’s this psychedelic print. The wallpaper looks insane while you get different images when you filter out other layers by using the different colour filters hanging at the side walls. So go wild and get drunk!!
