McQ SS16

2015-09-23T10:10:00.000+01:00

McQ Spring summer 2016 was revealed in series of lo-fi shorts, reconstructed frames digitally for the first time in the history of the eclectic brand. To capture its youthful, irreverent spirit of the brand's identity, McQ invited three creatives - Lea Colombo, Jack Davison and Sharna Osbourne to reinterpret the collection through their own specialise communication channels. The presentation happened down the Crypt of Spitalfield's Christ Church, 2 decades after the late Lee Alexander McQueen showed his AW1996 collection there.

Firstly, I do personally apologise for my almost a year absence. Recently moved location from London to Hong Kong, finding the new places, adapting and hunting down its culture core.

Secondly, I hate to put you all up with that Winter Update haha therefore I've re-edit the last post so those pricepoints won't disturb your reading.

Thirdly, let's catchup with the happening across Hong Kong past months from March.

Art Night Hong Kong, happened on a Thursday before Art Basel opening on Sunday. Series of galleries downtown (Central, Admiralty, Sheung Wan, Mid-Levels) opened up their door till late hours to allow those who weren't able to make the normal office hours opening.
