  The first few minutes of the Paris streets and building already caught me into it.  I smiled at Owen Wilson's voice over about Paris. Not only I have a thing for Paris but the city just look great through the camera. The movie remind me of 'Somewhere In Time'. When its playing with era, the costume is stunning, not only it's well made, because 20s of Paris is really breath taking.

  Though it doesn't receive many good reviews but it is a nice made movie to my point of view. It's noway to compare with the book for sure. Never there's a movie base on a book can compare to the original creation. The beautiful words in the book was wasted at the first half of the movie, the skipping of times lost the details of the character. I wish they would have voice over or add a

  I  would say this is quite a disappointment. Not only the the cadence is bad that you can't feel the tension, the story telling is also quite messy. It's a bit of this and that, I can't really see the focus. The two thing impressed me are the music by Chemical Brothers (of course it's good.) and the camera move. There are some very interesting long & hand carry shot work so

  London College of Fashion final year show for Fashion Design Technology BA & FDA courses today. Although I made a really bad choice of seat so the photos aren't nice; there are few collection which are eye catching. Here are some of the pieces.   今天是London College of Fashion的年度畢業展，這一場的展是學士和基本課程的合展。以下是其中幾套的展出服裝。

  I've left this behind for a year, and finally, I watched "Confessions". With all those very good comments on Takako Matsu, the performance actually didn't surprise me at all. I guess it's because the role is so different from many of her previous work and she at least portray the character fair enough. The young actors and actress, especially Yukito Nishii. I somehow thought he's the

  Tate Modern Day! Gabriel Orozco exhibition is ending very soon and it's the first day of the brand new exhibition of Joan Miró, no more time wasting, head to Tate Modern today. Orozco's works reflect life with a special point of view, personally prefer the photography series of the yellow scooter. What surprised me is the Miró show; it's a rather big collection and I love the

   I believe most of the people across the world with a true right of using the internet freely should know Ai Weiwei. Ai is a Chinese artist who also brave to speaks out about human right problem of his country, China. Unfortunately, he is now captured by China and lost in contact. This event became an international concern. When China have been hiding many corrupted facts about many

  It's 25th BFI London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival. This year, I chose Gigola, a French lesbian movie set with the night life of Paris in 60s.   The first thought came into my mind is this is not like those French films I watch normally, it somehow giving me the feel of American independent films. Lou Doillon has a special look which really brings the character of Georgia

  Yohji Yammoto, one of the best known Japanese across the world. His first exhibition in London at the V&A, I finally get down there to worship his creations. I can't help to say it was slightly disappointed, not about the display pieces (that is no doubt amazing.); the size of the exhibition room is so much smaller than I expected. I wanted to see tones and tones of Yamamoto's

I can not use enough words to describe how much I like him. It's not just about the wow effect he's bringing to the industry, he really works the look so perfect I just love what ever he's modelling.

  After all these busy time, I can finally sit down, relax and draw. In Paris Fashion Week, Sarah Burton surely proofed that she can handle McQueen legacy. The cutting, ruffle, lace and decorative details are all impressive. I'm in love with the collection!

Ziad Ghanem A/W 2011 catwalk show, this is the show I've been waiting since the start of fashion week. And I got to say, it was everything I was hoping to see and beyond! The opening dress is the best. model was raised and waving the green feather fan, it is one fashion moment, surely everyone agree because we were all screaming for it!   I love his skilful way of using these soft

   When you doing exhibition for A/W fashion, you can actually feel the winter air around you. Though it is very cold in London (nothing like the spring summer season like it should be),  fashion people can always find some fun with it.   The neo Paris hat is such an eye-catching piece for Piers Atkinson's newest collection. Piers even developed this power pack, show you

  This season, despite showing in Somerset House for London Fashion Week, Piers also did his exhibition showcasing the latest collection in Soho, together with photographer Morgan White who also shot his look book for the season. First of all, I should say big big thanks to Nathan from Franny's, not only providing the space for the exhibition, but being really helpful and nice

Today's show is the A/W 11 collection by Ashley Isham, set in On|Off. All models were wearing one of Piers Atkinson special creation for the show. One feminine collection, I'm sure many of the girls love those floaty long trail dress wish such

 When every...couple is so exciting about the so-called romantic Valentine's Day, the only important thing I look forward to in February is actually fashion week. Under a week time, London Fashion Week will be on, and I'm so exciting about it, 'cause I like winter clothes instead of summer. I sort of have a thing about jackets and hats (why do you think I work for the great milliner Piers
