Yo! I know it's a bit too late to post CFDA red carpet moment. But still, I need to share these with you guys.

I WANT TO CONGRATULATE MY FAVE DESIGNER, MARC JACOBS (HE GOT HIS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD from CFDA, fyi). You're such a great inspiration :) I hope we can work together someday.

I don't hate Lady Gaga or love her. But lately she's trying sooooooo hard. And she came to the event with this huge platform shoes and if you watched her speech (can find it on youtube), she had trouble with her walk. You weren't born this way, Gaga.

Slow it down

I know, i know i'm such a sucker for soft flowy drapery stuff. So, what I'm trying to cover for this post is actually my faves from this 2012 Resort collection (so far).

Juan Carlos Obando

Badgley Mischka

Elie Tahari

Which one is your fave? I'll be posting another set of Resort collection that I like. Til then, XX

I'm (not) Dead

2011-06-10T00:50:00.004+08:00

YES, I'm back, people! I'm not dead. I'm just too busy eating cupcakes and stiletto shopping.

So without further ado,

Undoubtedly, Vogue Paris stole everybody's attention this June with their 'Paradise Bleu' but my heart felt for Harper's Bazaar Turkey with their crimson red-theme editorial.

Enjoy.

Good to be back to blogosphere. :D

Anyway, IT fair is coming up in Singapore. I'm planning to get myself a tripod (so I can start to post my WIWT). Any good reckon? Just drop me an email or whatever.

The Brunch

2010-12-07T23:29:00.004+08:00

So what does fashion students do during holiday?

Last weekend I went to Holland Village to attend birthday parties/christmas brunch with my schoolmates.

The theme is color shock which took me 2 days to think (and decide) of what to wear because the only colorful item I have so far is my shoes collection.

Posing with grace(left) and ina (right)

We had this delish Italian raisin bread served with virgin olive oil (and scent of pear i guess, it was delicious anyway)

My appetizer, baked salmon with greens

Too bad I didn't snap my main course, it was fettucine with chicken in tomato and basil sauce.

And when it comes to dessert, I must say, HEAVEN! It melted in my mouth. I had layers of caramelized chocolate cake.

Time for some "Jak and Jil"

It must be hard for the boys to go colorful for this party. But hey, it didn't look that bad right?

I love Ast's new mulberry bag.

Er's vintage Chanel bag. We all love the color!

I wore loose pink top, ina's purple skirt, zara flat shoes and some accessories from everywhere

Last but not least, cupcakes from next store. Lovely!

p.s: i need a new haircut.

India

2010-12-03T23:22:00.005+08:00

So yeah, I finished sorting out pics from my India trip. Enjoy

I sprained my ankle while I was walking towards the India Gate (below). It was amazing. The gate is like Merlion in Singapore or National Monument of Indonesia in Jakarta.

India 101: Don't ever buy any street food in India unless you want to get skinnier faster (diarrhea)

Well my purpose visiting India is to do fabric sourcing for my final year collection next year. I went to this particular place who sell real leather (sheep, cows, and crocodile!!) but too bad, the place was really really small and oh, they don't have aircon, so imagine sardines packed in a tin can.

There was a festival while I was in India which I can't remember the name of that festival, but the rich gave free food for the poor. It was so packed and jammed, because they held it in particular road. That road was so packed with so-called parade.

They dyed the fabrics on the street!!

Souvenirs from India

So here comes the most exciting part from my trip to India. I will let y'all to see it yourself. Enjoy

Taj Mahal is located in Agra. It took me 5 hours to reach there. It was an amazing place to visit. I cannot stop saying awwwwww and omg, because, it is really beautiful.

I will definitely going back to India.

Am I Interrupting?

2010-11-25T19:07:00.005+08:00

School has just started. I'm busy buzzing around my new classroom. I don't have the mood to update my blog. Life seems so boring lately.

Enjoy this editorial from Vogue Portugal, September 2010.

This is Ashley Smith, personally, I don't like (hate) her teeth gap. Well, its not as pleasing-to-the-eyes as Lara's or Abbey's but, what do you guys think?

Le Meilleur est Encore à Venir

2010-08-03T22:22:00.002+08:00

I am so fed up with internet connection in Indonesia. I've tried couple of times to log in my blog account and uploaded some pictures but it just failed. :(:(

As I promised before, I took some interesting images (heavy) from my previous Diploma Graduation showcase.

Long rack, full of clothes, this spot was meant to display our (my fellow designers and I) clothes.

Wall of Fame, from my fellow fashion management students.

My fellow fashion textile friend, Ashlee. She was inspired by Comme des Garcons, pretty cool, huh

Some samples from fashion textile students.

Now, move on to Animation.

My friend Glenn from Animation did a great job on his claymation (? lol i dunno how to call this)

I don't know who did this, but hey, pretty cool huh?

Next, interior.

I found this model very very interesting. If you look at it closer, It was basically design for a theater in Singapore. It (made of acrylic i guess) was cut into pieces and the designer joined them piece by piece. Very interesting.

close up look

moving on to Design Communication

My fave among all, credit to (i forgot your name). If you look at it closer, you can see that it was made from little dots! It just amazing!

My friend, Max did a good job on his illustration.

and so did Ferdi

Playing with paper and shadow. Uber cool!

and this one made from straws. Pretty cool,huh

OH! One more good news, my friends and I was featured on my school show.

Mine on red circle!

Zoom in and Voila!

Caught Up In The Middle

2010-06-18T21:38:00.000+08:00

HOWDY! I'm terribly sorry for the hiatus. I'm in Indonesia now, for holiday til early of August, so Indonesian bloggers, I'm very much excited to meet y'all. :):)

I miss blogging and blogwalking so much. Been busy preparing the diploma graduation exhibition and helped out my senior with their fashion show. (will post the pictures SOON)

Recent editorial from Harper's Bazaar Spain July-Aug 2010 with Belarusian model Tanya Dziahileva (gosh, I still can't believe that she was born in 1991!)

I feel like going to a beach, Bora Bora anyone?

Recap from Resort 2011

Marc Jacobs, as always, never fail to amuse me with his resort collection.

Sonia Rykiel, parisian chic much?

Gucci (as always neutral color never goes wrong)

Balenciaga (i don't know why but it reminds me of Prada and Marc Jacobs S/S 2010)

3.1 Phillip Lim

"Les randonneurs à Saint-Tropez"

2010-05-13T19:20:00.002+08:00

watch this video first if u haven't seen it. (a must!!!)

the rest of the movie you can find it on youtube, on your right sidebar.

I LOVE Kaisser Karl!!! He's really really, i mean really really genius.

and enjoy Chanel Cruise Collection below.

Only on Chanel 10/11 Cruise Collection (in St. Tropez), we all can see Crystal Renn barefooted while walking on the runway.

up next

Remember the Armadillo heels?

who beats McQueen on designing 10" shoes?

The answer would be Mihai Albu, a Romanian designer, who designed 12" stiletto. We'll see whether Daphne Guinness will be seen wearing one of his designs.

I want one! *finger crossed*

"I have come back to life!"

2010-05-03T22:50:00.004+08:00

it's not officially a month, but yes, almost a month i haven't updated my post. Hectic days, sleepless nights are all over. I'm welcoming and enjoying my holiday. I promise myself to update my blog everyday since I have to stay in Singapore doing nothing for another month.

A news from Nicole Richie with her latest collection Winter Kate by Nicole Richie F/W2010.

I must say, I am impressed (even though some said it's a bit disappointing) I didn't know that she can do design stuff. It's quite cute, no?

up next,

Alana Zimmer by Greg Lotus for Vogue.

isn't this gorgeous? it wows me!

Let's Don't Forget About It

2010-04-10T23:56:00.004+08:00

OMG, sorry for abandoning blog (again!) I'm EXTREMELY busy, as in, i'm doing my final year project, will share with y'all after i finish everything.

Anyway, one of my fave fashion magazines, LULA.

Enjoy their juxtaposition editorial by Kai Z Feng.

I found this from Acne F/W 2011 for all of you who loves DIY, i think it's quite good for inspiration, doesn't it?

Chloe Sevigny wearing Acne Jeans collaborated with Husam El Odeh.

C'est Si Bon

2010-03-14T22:16:00.002+08:00

First of all, no more LiLo in Ungaro show. Woohoo! After her (horrendous) debut in S/S 10 collaborating with label Emmanuel Ungaro and received bad reviews from (what i know, mostly) online articles, the label has decided ditching her politely by saying that "She's not involved in this collection." with no further explanation.

Reviews for Paris fashion week F/W 2010

My heart goes to Chloe! I'm so into grays and camels lately. Enough said for Chloe. Standing applause given to them.

Secondly, Louis Vuitton. Laetitia Casta (I didn't post her pic) opened the show after such a long time not seeing her walking on runways.

Isn't he adorable?

Thirdly, Elie Saab. Nothing much to comment, the collection reminds me of Prada F/W 2008 though.

Last but not least, Valentino.

Lovely!

What's with Carine Roitfeld and Balenciaga? That is the question I've been asking for the past 2 weeks. What is or are the reason(s) Balenciaga banned her from the show?

Question to be answered (of the day) : define FASHIONABLE or STYLISH

Count to 7 and Start singing again

2010-03-04T11:40:00.005+08:00

Err sorry for abandoning my blog, I'm in Indonesia looking for fabrics and some other stuff, and will be leaving tonight. And yes, lately been so quiet, so uninspiring, nothing seems to interest me.

Alyona Osmanova for TANK magazine. Hail to McQueen shoes!

Cheerio!
