" We don't eat during Fashion Week, we pretend to. " - Part 2

Part Two 

Marc-Antoine Barrois

These couturiers had an amazing collection, very very sleek pieces with sombre tones that upped the "glam" factor! Their oversized pieces were like a mash-up between Gucci's Spring '13 line and the Maison Martin Margiela x H&M collection , to die for! ( loving the shirt in the 6th picture! ) 

On Aura Tout Vu

FABULOUS CENTAURS. This collection was largely influenced by the love for transforming visions to visuals by the team and they did an amazing job with it. With huge flames, wild and hypnotic beats, along with a plethora of special effects, this show "stole the show" , even the press release gave me chills!                                      

     

     Once apon a time... a chimeric kingdom

Enchanted White, jewelled black, bright red exploded

Once apon a time...Queens

Of a flaming day, from magical past, from heroic future, with erupted beauty, which anarchic love, from oneric night,enigmatic rocker... Queen of our dreams

Once apon a time, On Aura Tout Vu

10 years, 20 collections.... an anniversary of fel en aiguille (from thread to needle)

 -The On Aura Tout Vu Press Release

One of the best shows, and a great end to Fide Fashion Weeks ! I think that this being held in Singapore, it has reiterated our place on the map as a true fashion haven. I really love how some of us really appreciated this occasion and attended it (even if not in full), and hats off to the fabulous Mr. Boey for putting together such an amazing event!

Till the next post, here's me sending all my readers some love! 

" We don't eat during Fashion Week, we pretend to. " - Part 1

Fide Fashion Week, hosted at The Shoppes at the Marina Bay Sands late last month, was probably the highlight event 2012. Featuring dozens of designers, both aspiring and renown , old and young, Fide was an amazing platform for these talented maestros to showcase their work.

With the well-respected fashion editor Suze Menkes as the guest-of-honour, & the youthful and bubbly face of Style Network, Jeannie Mai, as the head correspondent , Fide Fashion Week was the epitome of all things French, Asian & Japanese Couture!
I managed to attend some shows, in-between my exams and soaked in the sights of some lovely couture pieces, have a look!

Thomas Wee

Stunning shades of burgundy, wine and chic black for his collection. It's effortless yet classy & one of Asia's Next Top Model's judges, the fabulous Mr. Danial Boey, loved the first look so much he tweaked it a little and pulled it off! But try as I might, I couldn't find a single photo on the Net of him :( MOVING ON NOW. 

Alexis Mabille 

Well known for his intricate and delicate designs, Alexis Mabille held true to his trademarks. The cohesive designs had Asian influences but still remained largely French, imbibed from his childhood days in Lyon, France ! Well, what else could we expect from someone who designed exquisite fine jewellery for John Galliano during his apprenticeship at Dior!

Julien Fournié

As you might've guessed from Mr. Julien's expressions, his latest collection has "FUN" written all over it ! Carefree and fabulous, his couture pieces steer away from safer, stereotypical darker hues and is interpreted in a different, more unique manner! 

Part Two will be up soon, till then! 

Street style ; infinite pleasure.

She's rocking it!

Casual Sunday stroll.

Neon? Psht, that's a breeze. 

Street style is fascinating.

Lana x H&M

LANA x H&M

Its been no secret that the Queen of alternative pop music has clawed her way to clinch the spot of becoming the new face of H&M AW'12 collection. Sharp cheekbones, rosy cheeks, dreamy eyes and with a lip-pout to remember , Lana embodies regality and fits the mould better than any other.

H&M envisioned " a modern and feminine woman with a soft attitude" for their AW12 line and I feel like Lana did way more than to just put her face on their brand, she took it up and made it hers. Each shot, and each article of clothing is very much, Lana Del Rey. Soft cashmere and tweed tops harmonised with pleather bottoms, what more could effortlessly insinuate her influence ?

Her music, is amazing. She filled the market gap with something we didn't notice was missing. She was fresh, yet there was something unique and vintage to her album. As I listened to Born To Die, & her new album, Born To Die: Paradise Edition ( she's one of the few artists I'd personally wait in a queue for ) , her soft and archaic vocals imbibed these feelings( & chills) I never knew I inhibited and she introduced different perspectives in which, I now, view and judge myself and other people. A very talented person, not only in her music, but in fashion too! Word has it, she was offered 5 modelling contracts within a month of her music video release of Video Games too! Way to go, LDR!
