One commentIn the past 2 days I have been sourcing and researching all sorts in a mahoosive market in Guangzhou, a city 2 hours drive away north from HongKong. There you could find anything from belts to buttons, from fur trims to any type of fabric, from earings to zips etc…You wouldn’t know where to start from and that is just one market in that city. There’re a lot other ones specializing specific product areas.
In the middle of sourcing among all the car horns, human noises, walked pass a man and I loved his back pack so much that I had to run after him to take this shaky photo. His double denim also looks very spot on. Guys who want to try ‘double-denim’ take note here – boxy waistcoat and roll-up above-knee denim shorts is such a good combo by avoid looking too much denim on you !!

One commentIt is beyond your imagaination that not only movie stars and singers got their own perfumes out, but the editor at large is actually becoming Laaaaarge! Anna Dello Russo, editor at large for Vogue Nippon, is rumored (or possibly even confirmed) to launch her own perfume before Christmas 2010.
With bottle shaped as a golden heel, some critics point out the bottle design is a little tacky and put doubt towards the campaign which is featuring a blurry black and white image of the editor. I think it’s a very fashion insider’s thing.
Anna is a true celebrity within fashion industry and the name of her perfume ’Beyond’ even resembles very well to her own character. Her style is truly beyond, who has the balls to wear a ‘Wowzer’ cocktail dress at 9am in the morning during Fashion Weeks?!
Fashion photographer and blogger Tommy Ton from Jak & Jil has a long-term admiration to Anna and was even invited to her spectacular apartment in Milan.
If you have a look of Anna’s apartment, you would then realize the gold shoe bottle actually is a reflection of her true Italian Renaissance style. Editorialista is BEYOND the fashionistas!

No commentsThis time the dark angel is blogger Susie Bubble. I’ve spotted her on the bus and was instantly drawn to her long line sheered shirt with long side splits. She played really well with different hem lengths by teaming the shirt with a pair of black cycling shorts. The black and navy colour blocking jacket was in a boxy shape, which is contrasted to the soft sheerness of the shirt. And to finish all a pair of chunky heel boots are essential additions! Gold studs and buckles were highlighted on the boots which gives a little touch of military. I tried very hard to hold myself back for not asking for a front shot.

No commentsI went to the Margiela Exhibition at Somerset House on past Saturday and I got to say it’s probably the best fashion exhibition I’ve ever been to. The exhibition breaks the normal rules for a fashion exhibition by using lots of mirrors, lightings and multi-media. I will blog about it in another entry with detailed photos.
And naturally there’re a bunch of well-dressed people there. And here I want to show you…well naturally…their backs.

No commentsIt’s very refreshing to see a girl working out an unusual colour palatte for a roasting summer day instead of having normal bright summer dips.
Fantastic electric blue with tan accessories! My gf and I had to follow her for 2 blocks to take a clear photo to show the amazing back strap detail of the dress. (difficult coz hair always in the way) But thank god she was towards the same cocktail bar we heading to. Otherwise she might freak out ha?!

I spotted this girl at a bookstore the other day while she was looking through different fashion glossies. What I liked about her outfit was how effortless it looked, but at the same time very “put together” – an over-sized denim shirt, a pair of 3/4-length tights worn with black ballerina flats and the hair put up in a chignon – simple and cute.

2 commentsI have been settling in lovely Stoke Newington for 3 weeks so far and one of my Sunday exercises is getting myself to the nearby Dalston Kingsland mall for food shopping and people watching. Dalston Kingsland shopping centre is a real mix, you get one side full of big black ladies in their colourful traditional dresses and the other side a flood of skinny jeans, ripped, distressed and studded. But it doesn’t mean it’s not a harmony. This vibrant area is such a contrast to West London where I lived in the past 4 and half years, however, it still gives me a warmed-up feeling.
Before entering the mall I spotted this girl in front of me in a pair of chunky heel boots and patchwork sued fring jacket. Leopard pattern chiffon shirt peak out of her jacket sleeves which gives more depth to the outfit. Sheered fabric tones down the hard western feel of the jacket.
Then at fish section inside of the Sainsburys this couple look interesting. The girl’s swing shape trench coat was equally delicious as her tote which is in navy canvas and brown leather. Tabs slightly placed off the shoulder, centre back pleats carefully folded and closed with another 3 tabs, good quality of D-rings—-all of these tell me this must be thoughtful designer piece.
My sight suddenly got lid up when this colourful girl stopped in front of me. Photographic prints on her nylon jacket accompanied with an equally loud printed sporty shorts. The print symphony still carries on with pink leopard tights and nude-aqua pumps. She wins, I favour her look most.
All the clash of prints are carefully mixed together, I couldn’t help but had to break my rule of ‘I love you back’ and asked her for a photo of front.
Turn around to the coffee section, I bumped into this lovely girl with a chain-mail slouch bag, which I was surprised it was actually from Topshop! The whole dark angle-school girl look is very AW10 Proenza Schouler-ish!
Ok…I guess I’m definitely settled in this area now, will you come shopping at Kingland’s Sainsburys too??

One commentOn my way to town today I’ve spotted an amazing bag slouched on a girl’s back right in front of me. It’s heavily washed and so comfortably hanged there. I couldn’t help but ask her where she got it. I’m always a no-shyer when comes to a great designed product. She answered in a humble voice ‘Alexander Wang’ —- simple as that. She then told me it’s from 4 seasons ago. I told her I’m a big Wang fan. We exchanged a smile —- I know we understood each other.

2 commentsI have recently visited London Graduates Fashion Week and been asked by press people twice to take photos of my outfits. Mum’s white shirt———Vintage grey hoodie——–and my first Alexander Wang purchase ‘mix stripe skorts’———Anglomania jelly platform sandals.
Talking of this purchase…I have super-luckly found it while in Shanghai in a very small boutique. As you may all know Alexander Wang is very much promoting China’s high-end manufacturing. Most of his products are made in China. Therefore, it would be really lucky to find some unique originals leaking out on the market and that would be definitely a fate if you could spot one!!

One commentI often go to Eger, right opposite my office, to get my daily fix of coffee from Steam. Lately this seems to be the best place for people watching. The other day I saw this stylish femme in the queue at the coffee bar:
You can never go wrong with a trench coat. What I really liked about her coat was the ruched sleeve details, and also the fitted, slim silhouette – very Burberry Prorsum. Later on that day, a friend and I popped by Zara and we spotted the same coat there.
They had several other very similar trench coats too in a variety of shades and colours, and the prices weren’t that bad either. The different styles cost somewhere between approximately 77 and 99 GBP, a great bargain in other words.
