Dear Summer

While the waves crash the open wide sea,
i'm still dry in the hot summer sun,

close my eyes and dreaming,
where it all begun.

Dear myself and my followers,

After searching I met my journal again, not much of a journal, but a blog where i ve shared my interests/thoughts. I've left my blog when i moved to Amsterdam for personal reasons, but eventually nostalgia took over my brain. So, already 3months with my beloved family and it feels great! Feeling more confident and happy, i will restart it for my own good sake. I didn't pick one particuliar day to do this, but pass through the internet and coincidentally my long-in account appeared on the screen. One of my undiscovered talents is writing. Not like a professional journalist, but developing my writing skills. But where should i (re)begin with...

Begin April i first met Hong Kong. The big city, consisting of islands, has lot to offer: from the streets buzz to the silent skycrapers. In between the smell of a drainy weather in which i was @ wrong period. But enjoyed the fastmoving cars, lovely HK people, popular dim sum and inevitable tourists, not weird, but loveable ^^. Even in that big mass, there are some special kinds. i m talking about the fashionistas. As a empire of the British colony, some HK people hire the western fashion into this economic industrial island and make it there own. I'm fascinated by those human beings who are not afraid to stand out the normal.

Already known that art can be adapted into fashion or even transformed. That's how Sharon Golan, a female student from the Bezalel Academy fo Art and Design in Israel, came up with an idea of several plastic art pieces and 4 stretcher to built a 'fashionable' pair of shoes in your own design. Thinking whether this pair it's wearable, at least it's original

The Boutiq show was held in the Dylan Hotel, Amsterdam. Three designers took part Francisco van Benthum, Jeroen van Tuyl and Unconditional by Philip Stevens. As a dressmaker i worked for the latter backstage. The collection was inspired by the marine and lingerie. After the show there's a small afterparty, but it was all fun

In the beginning it was difficult to find the building where the exposition named 'Amber' being held. After couple minutes of searching and looking, i took a glimpse at someone's sunbathing on a chair. He lent a way to the entry where i asked at the desk my collegue to volunteer instead doing internship in Ede which was my first intention. In 1 room of many on the first floor, others volunteers like me discussed about how we 'll do the shift and breaks. After a brief talk, i and some other ladies were about to get the official 'Amber' tee edition '11, put our stuff in a locker and off we go. through a maze inside outside the coördinator put me on one spot in order to give the visitors the right direction. My second lovely spot was outside in case of passing people with car or bike. about 6pm we were off duty and went back to the volunteer's office where we get treated with candybars and leftover bread. Some volunteers came in for the guided tour as we (the ones who guided) turned into visitors. the exposition could begin...

Inner beauty is the theme of Sergio Lopez' gallery that's shown in San Francisco. Only curved woman figures, almost real humans are portraited. Sergio let them go nude to express their beauty and vulnerability from deep within' to the outside. It's getting more melancholic by putting those roses to get us in the mood and to understand them.

If there's a gucci cat on the catwalk, there must be one on the streets. The high waisted pants and the plain blouse refines the sixties. The colorblocking gives the modern touch. Completed with its era glasses, the glittering block heels and the golden chain belt, this looks reminds us of the Gucci S/S'11

This may be ur worst fear, but in fact it's a composition of three female bodies. From a paper drawing, Craig Tracy from New Orleans has copied the drawing to his models. This work cause the awareness for the extinction of the tiger in south China

Drapering

2011-04-20T04:14:00.000-07:00

For his S/S'11, Haider Ackermann got his inspiration from Japan's kimono. With such a dedication again this collection's shown the sophistication and the kraftwork he owns. The first look on the runway said enough how sophisticated and precisely he's worked in the desconstructed leather jacket. From now on every look followed in the beautiful drapering. While the plain bottoms (half knee skirt, short pants, or a long narrow skirt) revealed less or more skin, we all focused on the tops, sometimes in glimmering colored tops, fastened with a kimono-like belt in Ackermann's way.

i ve attended the Arnhem Fashion Week in Arnhem, Holland and these r the video's i've made. Took place in a mansion-restaurant, but the catwalk was shown in a tiny little room, so u could imagine how hot is in the room with all the spotlights, i've been smart to stay outside the lines

While he was bookshopping in Essex, fashion scout Cesar Perin's mentioned him on the streets. Scooped by Prada at a young age, he's now a promising new talent in the model industry.

Before becoming an art photographer, Allan Teger's teached academic counseling at the University of Pennsylvania and volunteered as a drug counselor in Philadelphia. During the sessions, he was fascinated in the psychedelic world we'd lived in the 70's. So he's read books by Ram Dass, Carl Rogers. Castenada, Huxley, Watts and others, occasionally with his students. After some knowledge, he became consciencely minded and unconsciencely arted. Something like 'The world where we live in has 2 sides' takes part in his photography. Look at his following humorous, yet amazing works
