Hi, I'm Back And I'm Going To Fashion Week! + FRTS + Blogshop Updates

Hello, I'm back again! Hope you missed me. Haha. I guess I didn't have much inspiration or more like I was just lazy to blog for the past couple of weeks. 

*Long post ahead.

Anyway, fashion week is here!!! The Audi Fashion Festival & Blueprint event is starting from today (well, techinically yesterday since its already the 28th) up till the end of the week. It's gonna be a whole week of fashion glitz & glamour! Got tickets for the opening show of AFF by Dsquared² which takes place today, am really looking forward to watching it! I read that Carmen Kass will be opening the Dsquared² show, plus the designers Dean & Dan Caten are coming. Unlike fashion week in Paris, Milan, London & New York where designers of the label usually appear at the end of each show, here in Singapore, we only get to see a selceted few designers who are able to make the appearance (as in international names). Which makes the show more exciting than usual. I read that Henry Holland is also coming. And maybe Mr. Cavalli? Tickets to alot of shows are already sold out (when I last checked), but if you'll like to experience the thrill of watching a real fashion show (you won't regret it, trust me), hurry up and purchase tickets to shows that still have available seats! 

So, did you guys watched the Star Awards* on Sunday? I missed the red carpet segment so didn't really get to see who wore what. I did see some pictures from the event and saw S/S2010 looks from Miu Miu, Burberry & Gucci.

The Miu Miu Spring 2010 collection is one of the most coveted & discussed collection among fashion bloggers this season. Yvonne Lim wears a cat print sequinned top from the collection.

Random fan-girl moment: Godfrey Gao came! And so did Mark Chao. Mel is a new fan of GG! Hilarious. But he is tall, handsome AND hot.

Mel, this is for you=P

Lastly, here's a preview of the new mini collection that'll be up in the shop soon (sometime this week). Thanks M&M (haha, I love initials) who helped me out with the shoot. Love you guys! 

Wow, just realised this post is such a random mix of things. Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to get some pics from fashion week to share on the blog. In the meantime, have a Happy Wednesday!=)

*For everyone who don't live in Singapore, the Star Awards is an annual award ceremony something like the Emmys.

London Fashion Week Spring 2010 Roundup

*Long post ahead*

So, London Fashion Week has just ended. Here are some of the collections I like/kinda like/not feeling (I didn't go through all LFW collections though):

Sass & Bide has to be one of my favourite collections for Spring 2010 so far. I love the combination of the hard and soft elements, the structured metal pieces forming patterns on soft, flowy fabrics bringing out feminitiy with an edge. Especially love the metal ring dress and metal-esque leggings. And those shoes! Fab Fab Fab!

And of course, I love the shinest silver paillette-encrusted coat at Burberry. Haha. The close-up shot is way more breathtaking. Love the knotted draping technique used on almost every possible piece of clothing. Dresses, skirts, jackets, trenchcoats and even pants! Pretty cool stuff.  

Prints and colours, I love love love! Once again, amazing digital prints from Basso & Brooke.

This is the first time I've heard of Australian designer Josh Goot and he's got this whole colours+prints thing going on as well so what do you think? I like it. Nothing exciting silhoutte-wise but his graphic prints (check out those 3D looking prints) are pretty interesting no?  

Love the detailing (triangular metal plates, cut-out sequinned dress, 3D sequinned flowers on dresses & sleeves, ruching, just to name a few) and the futuristic necklaces.

Cute dresses here. Even Alexa Chung is a fan. This whole big bow trend, however, not really feeling much for it. Been seeing too much of that plus the lace rabbit ears lately. 

I know many bloggers have been raving about this collection alot. Could it be the effect of the immense popularity of his recent capsule collection for Topshop (coming soon to Singapore btw)? I really liked Christopher Kane's Resort Collection earlier on but this one, I'm not really feeling entirely. The thigh high slits on not one but both sides? Don't know about that. I much prefer the dresses without the slits like the one in the middle. Not a fan of gingham as well, guess the things I did like were the pleated chiffon and bustier detail on the dresses.

Phew, that was a long one. Eagerly awaiting what Milan & Paris has to offer.
