SFF makes way for AFF!!

When we were first told last year that there won't be any Singapore Fashion Festival for this year and next, everyone were outraged. I personally, had mixed feelings. I kinda felt sad that I can find no more excuses to take a whole week's break from work to watch gorgeous models strutting their stuff covered in lavish designer wear. Having said that, all the while that I attended the shows, I wanted so badly to see the much bigger and lavish names to be showcased. Like last year, Calvin Klein was considered huge and it was the so called grand finale for Singapore Fashion Week 2008. While it was absolutely fabulous, I wanted more. More spectacular shows, more eclectic designers, more model behaviour, more glib tongue fashionistas.

Well, I asked for more and more is what we will be getting. It was officially announced last weekend through the press that the Audi Fashion Festival will replace the Singapore Fashion Festival. The fashion week will be held from the 6th of May to the 10th of May 2009. This five day event will have Christian Lacroix opening the event while Vivienne Westwood will be closing the week with her Anglomania collection. Now that we have all these European designers gracing our runways, let's hope that we will have an equally great show from our local designers as well.

The schedule is not up yet, but I just cannot wait to see who else is showing besidess Westwood, Lacroix, Ashley Isham and Gareth Pugh. I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

Gisele on Harper's Bazaar

Gisele Bundchen is on the cover of the latest Harper's Bazaar looking stunning as always.


This will be my favourite shot of her in the magazine!



So, time to stock your table with the new issue!

Jonas-ilistic

Now, as if the Jonas brothers ain't everywhere and can't get anywhere without having young virgin girls screaming their hearts out, they just have got to create a new clothing line. They are THE last people who I would expect to come out with a clothing line. I never find them stylish in the first place. I am definitely having my doubts. Perhaps, its just one of those publicity stunts.

But, anyway. If you are a big fan of them (unlike me!) you can expect their line out at all stores that carry the Disney merchandise including Kmart, Sears and Walmart. The kinda line that they will be doing? Well, just check out what they always wear. Pretty innocent for young kids. So, at least we won't have our kids trying to bare it all, aye?

On Vacation

I have been on a vacation and I shall be back soon! In the mean time, you can always drop some comments or things that you wanna know about or hope to find.

Take care and til then, stay fashionably fabulous!

A whole day of masculinity!

Christopher Shannon

The London Fashion Week closed the show with a tribute to men! Yes, the whole day was devoted to menswear from a handful of catwalk shows to a few showcases involving 13 designers. I think its about time that they acknowledge the immense talents in the men's fashion world.

Some were relatively conventional, some were outrageous and some were fashion forward. So take a look and have a taste of it!

Sibling.

The pink embroidered sweater by Sibling is my favourite, its fun, its modern and its pretty classic too! Love it!


Tim Soar


Topman

So, which do you prefer? Over the top drama or minimalist approach?

OMG! Groped and happy bout it?

A friend of mine found these insanely horrendous bra and started forwarding around! OMG! They are funny but so freaky! Like sexual harassment freaky! Take a look!




Sheesh! I was about to say who the hell wears that but then these are taken from real people! I bet they love being groped! Gross!

He for Mango

Mango, the Spain-based retailer, who is also pretty popular for its very affordable wear here in Singapore, has collaborated with Adam Lippes to come up with a limited edition line called, Adam for HE.



The collection focuses on basics, from airy, lightweight t-shirts to striped knits and cotton woven suits. The silhouettes are said to have similarities with the ADAM by Adam Lippes collection such as the high armholes for shirts and shorter shorts.



Not to worry, though, it being a collection for Mango, all of its limited pieces are going off at less than USD200, thats about SGD250 to 260 for us. Except for the leather jacket and trenchcoat with are about 400 buckaroos!



You can definitely get all this affordable fashion only at the Shaw House outlet in Orchard if you are in Singapore! They are all in stores now!
