Print love | The Vogue 120
If you haven’t seen the jaw-droppingly beautiful images from The Vogue 120, I’m going to reproduce them here for your viewing pleasure. As per usual, Vogue’s September issue is a beast of a magazine, with over 800 pages of high end fashion content that’ll make you want to bleed your bank balance dry. Lady Gaga...
Style love | Atlantic Pacific
In years to come, blogging will be one of those things that represents our generation. Who knows how it started? (Wikipedia, actually, but that wouldn’t be as interesting as the post I have planned.) Fashion blogging, in particular, is one of those beasts that elicits as much criticism as it does admiration. Whether it’s wunderkind...
The Show | Elie Saab Autumn Winter 2013
Hello! Sorry there’s been a slight delay in broadcast over the last couple of weeks; it’s been extremely busy in our other, bill-paying lives. But here we are, back again in time to bring you some (delayed) updates from the world of couture. At the beginning of the month the autumn winter couture shows were...
H&M x Maison Martin Margiela | Looks we’d love to see
Allow me to present three related points: 1. H&M has announced a collaboration with famed avant-garde design house Maison Martin Margiela. 2. H&M will be opening a flagship store right here in Kuala Lumpur late September this year. 3. We’ve received news from on high that the collection will indeed be dropping here in Malaysia....
Interview | Jacqueline Chan of Whimsy Milieu
Forget arm candy – finger swag is where it’s at. Or so we’re now convinced, after having spoken to Australian-based designer Jacqueline Chan and lusted after her adorable new range of rings. Jacqueline’s label is called Whimsy Milieu and we put her on the spot (not really, we’re lovely people) about rings, accessories and Lady...
Trend report | Put your backpack into it
Backpacks are a pet peeve of mine – if you take the train you’ll know how irritating it is to be thwacked by a backpack possessed of an office-bound man who thinks if you don’t see it, it doesn’t exist. Peeps, they’re still there and damnit they hurt when swung round into your ribs or...
Five fashion Instagrammers to follow
How many idle hours are wasted away on Instagram? Which clever person was it who realised that all people really want to do is spend their time looking at faux-vintage, pretty photos? Hats off to that man. If you’re keen on fashion, it doesn’t get better than Instagram (Twitter please, sit down). Firsthand looks into...
Interview | The Opulent Hippo
Vintage? Check. Gorgeous? Check. Self-esteem stimulant, collectible, and probably going to get others salivating? Check, check, and hooray! The Opulent Hippo has it all, which is why we got in touch with its owner Sammy Pong. We were dying to find out more about the vintage costume jewellery that she vends online via Etsy and...
Vincent Bousserez for Louis Vuitton
We do love ourselves a bit of LV, especially if it comes with a side of parody and a knowing wink. The brand commissioned photographer Vincent Bousserez to shoot a series of his famed miniatures, revolving around the LV tenets – luxury and monograms. The result is a witty take on Louis Vuitton and its...
Two Girls love | this is not a mall
I can’t claim credit for today’s find, because I discovered this is not a mall through that one-woman portal to fashion fabulosity, Susie Bubble. It’s an insanely eclectic collection of handmade items from the hilltribes of Northern Thailand, tie-dyed t-shirts, tiaras, sunglasses and jewellery. The items in question are cut out and super imposed on...
If the crown fits…
Anglophiles take note. This Saturday kicks off the The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and though we may not see much (or, let’s face it, any) of the action down here at the Equator, thanks to ASOS you can partake in a little bit of royal fun yourself. They’ve commissioned four designers and artists to each...
Interview | Ching Makes Things!
Spurred by my well-documented obsession with Peter Pan collars, I stumbled on Ching Ng’s lovely store L.A.R.K., and the accompanying DIY blog Ching Makes Things!. It has everything you could possibly love in a blog – personality, humour, pretty pictures and a strong sense of Malaysiana without dipping into stereotypes. If you’re at all arts...
