ALEC STRANG- MARVELLED AT HOW HIS 2D WORKS CAN BE TURNED INTO 3D...VERY INSPIRING

TO PUGH OR NOT TO PUGH

http://fashionista.com/2010/03/gareth-pugh-for-alexander-mcqueen-smart-move-or-too-soon/

Though not an extreme big fan of Alexander McQueen,  he is always one of the few designers that I will always scan thru the collection whenever the change of the season. Since his death, I have always reckon that if his label would to be continued, who will be his successor and i have ever since reckoned it will be Gareth Pugh. True enough, the speculations on the internet pointed all directions to him. Well, even though it is just a speculation, I feel that he may be able to sustain the house..probably with his own injection of style.


henceforth...to PUGH or NOT to PUGH.....? that is definitely the PPR's question.:)

MY MENTOR'S ILLUSTRATION

I considered myself very fortunate to have Thomas Wee as my mentor when I first started in this industry. He had thought me the art of beauty instead of vulgarity in design, minimalism instead of excess and also the usage of colours that God has blessed the earth with. 

Most important of all, he had taught me the art of eliminating details away from design and yet still able to call out the shape and  form. That is truly design at its highest form. 

Last but not least, this premier designer from singapore has the most gifted hand in Fashion Illustration which I wouldlike  to share with those who simply appreciates.. BEAUTY.

VIKTOR & ROLF AW2010

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAEc6Lo0ZGA

I have always love how Viktor & Rolf  translate their concepts into their collection. Again this Fall, they have another breakthrough picking up where their Babushka collection of more than ten years ago left off.
This time, they adopted Kristen McMenamy from the 90s supermodel league and how they assisted her to 'shed' off the 'excess & bulky' layered outfits, 'passing off' to the newer generation of models, reworked using just the drawstring concept. How brilliant!

Take my hats off...

I've really got to take my hats off Ms Miuccia Prada...how can anyone make a plain looking print and make it looks delectably attractive

Menswear AW2010

http://cyanatrendland.com/2010/02/01/paris-fashion-week-fw-2010-runway-review/

...looks like it's gonna be an almost non-colour AW2010....the palette of muted greys, camels and cognac...will possibly be my new black:)

This fall sees an obvious change in silhouette from the hedi-slimane-qued into something more relaxed and comfortable without feeling a single bit of boredom(see Lanvin, Ann Dem and Kris Van Asche)

my personal fave are definitely from Lanvin's new look(a little more constructed than previous seasons), Yves Saint Laurent- which Stefano Pilati has been advocating the relaxed pants since last fall..last but not least Kris Van Asche, the designer for Dior Homme, un-designing what his predecessor had created.

Agonist Perfums

http://cyanatrendland.com/2010/02/22/agonist-perfums/

What attracts me are the designs of the bottle... from the phallical ones to those with some touches of surrealism which is my favourite...however i'd digressed...anyone asked about how it smell?

RODARTE AW2010

What started pretty well for this label...seems to sizzle off through the seasons...showing signs of running out of ideas or probably trying a little too hard...it is pretty painful to see the following few designs which I find it difficult to comprehend..

& the following pictures are some very weak derivatives of CDG silhouettes.

...nuff said...

anyone's guess?

Now.....this may just change my perception of the brand.....anyone's guess on the brand of this sneaker??.---------------------> CROCS!!

FENTON USA

It had never dawn upon me that fashion jewellery will be my cuppa of tea...till it becomes part of my work of late. hereby, let me introduce LBD's best friend...some creative designs from FENTON USA :)

Ute Ploier

There are so many new names in the fashion industry but not many stood out. This designer, with a rather low profile, whom had caught my attention of late; I noticed that her collection had grown from strength to strength especially her menswear, a path not many female designer treads..some big power house...pse hire her:)

p.s raf simons was her mentor and professor
