Ruffled, not too.


ruffles are tricky
and i'm very picky
too much i'd drown.
worse, i'll resemble a clown
not enough, lacks the flair
worse, nobody cares
but all that is subjective
what matter is this
dressing must flatter
not make you a disaster!

The voice of this (fashion) generation

Put this in the magazine: There’s nothing more to be said about music. I’m the f—ing end-all, be-all of music. I know what I’m doing. I did 808s in three weeks. I got it. It’s on cruise control. . . . Man, we talked about music for God knows how long! Now let’s talk about how my f—ing sweater didn’t come back right from Korea. That’s what’s interesting me.


Citing Marc Jacobs as his idol, Kanye West is ready to leave music world and conquer the fashion world... Absurd, it may seem. But how much of it is true? Can his ego carry him towards the whole transition? Are we losing a music talent but gaining another fashion re-inventor? I find it hard to swallow just as the news of Joaquin Phoenix's decision to stop being an actor to become a rapper. Do you support their decisions to cross over? Will they succeed?


Truth be told, he has been meddling in fashion for quite some time now. Blogging (sans words) about fashion in his blog, collaborated with Louis Vuitton for a line of sneakers, a frequent at Fashion Week front row and own line; Pastelle **. He also announced his intention of becoming a fashion intern.


Read Kanye's interview in Details mag *here*.


** Dazed Digital reported that Pastelle will be launching a womenswear line and upcoming jewellery collaboration with Takashi Murakami.


Could he be the voice of this fashion generation?

Want of the Year ( reprise )

Oh yea, so I bought THE BAG. ( Topshop )

Yes, I was shopping alone and there wasn't anyone to save me.
Oh apparently I totally blanked out about having a shopping partner that day :P
Why didn't she stop me? Oh because we both have ( somewhat ) equally good taste :)

Regrets?
No.

I am using it everyday ( well, almost ) and loving it.

Also seen here.

Laundry Day 020209


Nichii

A bondage you wanna get...

For many years, one wardrobe staple for ladies is that very little black dress made famous by Audrey Hepburn. It's almost a sin, if you do not own one.
Moving forward, with more empowerment in women, I believe it does change the way we dress. If I had to put a dress to mark the new decade - It totally had to be THAT iconic dress, better known as “bandage dress.”
Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2008
Banded together seamlessly to show true female form and tease everyone with wearer's curvy silhouette. Some liken it to be art, a collectible. A dress for modern day women.It's also the likes of many beautiful ladies - Kate Bosworth, Keira Knightly, Beyoncé Knowles and Victoria Beckham.
Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2008

This season exceeds my personal expectation. A bit sexier, a bit edgier, a bit more alluring. Spring 2009 collection has shown more variation of sombre colors (i like), multi tones of same color palette, almost made it look androgynous. Of course there's color, considering that it's the spring collection, but not my personal faves. There's more, a new range of bandage swimsuits.

Here are some of my favourites from the Spring 2009 show.I believe this is not simply a fad but a fashion statement to stay.
