Academy of Art 2013 Graduation Fashion Show Review

Once again, Academy of Art 2013 Graduation Fashion Show packed serious heat of emerging talents last Thursday, May 9 at The Palace of Fine Arts Theater. When I first found out about the venue, I was half-hoping the runway would be outdoor. Wouldn’t that be gorgeous? But then I returned from my fantasy thinking when [...]

March 2013 Japan Trip Teaser: A (Long) Summary

I love traveling even though I don’t get to do it often, especially going overseas to other countries. When you travel less with a mindset of a tourist and more with a mindset of an explorer, the experience simply opens you. It makes you invigorated and inspired, ready to see things both expected and surprising. [...]

UC Davis Threads in Motion Review

UC Davis Fashion and Design Society (FADS) held “Threads in Motion” spring fashion show at SOMArts Cultural Center on April 28, 2013. 15 mini-collections from student designers, consisting of 4-6 looks each were presented on the runway. While I’m happy that the student-run FADS provides the medium and means for these students to take 10 [...]

Silvia Arguello on NBC’s Fashion Star and Her Upcoming Rosa Clandestino Online Shop

Silvia Arguello on NBC’s Fashion Star and Her Upcoming Rosa Clandestino Online Shop

I have been a fan of NBC’s Fashion Star. I think the premise is brilliant and progressive; not only it gives the featured designers a great dose of exposure, it also builds immediate shopping impulse for the featured retailers. Tonight on NBC’s Fashion Star (Season 2, Episode 8), my favorite Silvia Arguello was shockingly eliminated*. [...]

My April (2013 Version)

My April (2013 Version)

My April this year has been really tough on me. Just as soon as we finished immersing in our dream paradise of Japan (those travel posts are coming, I promise), Chris and I had been cumulatively drowning in illness, foot injury, apartment woes, and iMac hard drive issues. The last one hurt a great deal because [...]

Curtsy for Cheay Rochelle’s Fall/Winter 2013 Collection

Curtsy for Cheay Rochelle’s Fall/Winter 2013 Collection

First of all, let me apologize for nearly two months of no blog updates. I will explain that on the next blog post. For now, I want to express my admiration to Cheay Rochelle’s Fall/Winter 2013 Collection, aptly titled Victorian Nobility. The clean lines and tapestry print cleanly brings out the vintage romance feel in [...]

The Future is Fashion Forward

In just a few more hours, I’m going to leave the United States for three weeks. It has been 4 years since I left the United States, and I am anticipating some kind of a cultural or loss-of-familiarity shock when I go to Indonesia and Japan. I also know that it will all become a [...]

The Art Wold of ILJA Couture and Ready to Fish

The Art Wold of ILJA Couture and Ready to Fish

In a very saturated world of fashion, one of the biggest challenge is to be memorable. I think the fashion weeks happening right now can silently speak volumes to that. About one and a half month ago, I received ILJA lookbooks from THV PR, which just announced that Ms. Visser joined the roster. So when [...]

Academy of Art Fall 2013 at NYFW

The winter blizzard cannot stop the Academy of Art talents from showing on the runway last month. The Academy of Art Fall 2013 at NYFW presentation is modern, chic, and sophisticated (as well as a bit wild, which is a good thing). The students’ work once again proves that there is no excuse to underestimate [...]

ØDD Fall/Winter 2013 at NYFW

ØDD Fall/Winter 2013 at NYFW

It’s quite impressive that ØDD storefront at Manhattan’s Lower East Side materializes less than a year after ØDD online store was launched in 2011. The avant-garde fashion destination at 164 Ludlow started with menswear-only destination and is equipped with pieces from the likes of Gareth Pugh, Raf Simons, and Thierry Mugler. Now, starting from February 11, ØDD’s [...]
