" 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!

Long absences suck right?

SO. Been over a month from my last post, my procrastination is getting the better of me! So many things have happened over the last month, for example, Margiela x H&M ! I mean how amazing is the collection right!? Here are some snaps from the preview of the collection!

Candy Wrapper Clutches! I got the silver one, retailing at $79.90 !

Mirror ball leggings and the most unique duvet coat, with which you will roast yourself in Singapore HAHA 

Belt Jacket, weird and wonderful . 

Fusion of two jackets , or so it's called! Wear it, I give thou a dare. 

The deconstructed biker jacket, too cool for school! Love how it extends past the wrists!

Horizontally worn dress, INGENIOUS .

Faceless watch and belt, $39.90 & $79.90 respectively! I only got the watch though HAHA sadly, my spending has a limiting factor : my bank balance :(

That was just a tiny part of the collection, I'd ask you to run to your nearest H&M outlet and grab it all but I'm pretty sure they're sold out! Well, moving on, another interesting event over the month was , of course, the Victorias Secret Fashion Show 2012! Pictures below!!

Amazing is what the show was, with Rihanna, Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber who performed at the show! So here's me, signing off, wishing I was Karlie Kloss ! My next post will cover Fide Fashion Week held at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, till then!
Much love, xoxo

AdR x H&M

Have you got your fashion shower yet?
Much love, xoxo

FASHIONHAUL

First, let me tell you how fabulous the J.W Anderson x Topshop launch party was.. IT WAS FABULOUS.  They sadly didn't have much though :( And even when there were pieces that I wanted, they didn't fit my 11" waist! Depressed, I headed for some shopping the day after and this was what I managed to get!

Alternate Monochrome Shirt from Rag&Bone

Rings from Mugler & Comme des Garçons

Red Faux Snakeskin Clutch from 3.1 Phillip Lim

I'm a happy fashion camper now! Much love, xoxo

Vivienne Westwood S/S 2013

The house of Vivienne Westwood has always embraced the weird-yet-wonderful side of fashion & the designer kept true to her roots as she designed this S/S 2013 collection. However, the designer seems to have overdone her ragged and tattered cuts a tad too much, don't you think? The pieces are unique & intriguing, but as a whole collection, it just does NOT work!
Have a look and leave your comments below!
PS: I love the floral jumpsuit at 07:15 & the details of the dress at 01:14 <3

Much love, xoxo
