preeeen

I love the new york chicness of preen... the clean lines and sumptuous fluidity.


This makes me Reiss... no doubt we'll see some preen copies in Reiss next season!



I'm loving this body con strong orange piece, fluid skirted dress with risque appropriately placed lines of fabric as if doodling across a canvas...

love love love this next week. nude tones and asymmetric frills upon frills upon frills........




adoring the asymmetric tiered ruffles and imbalanced upper


this gothic piece is oozing seduction with the sheer overlay chiffon... it deceives the eye and makes you think of stockings don't u think?

ROME by Romero Bryan

Romero Bryan showed his Rome by Romero Bryan line off at New York Fashion Week yesterday and woooo the new collection for s/s '09 looks hot!

Taken from his facebook... I've just nabbed a few promo shots of his new collection, forgive me Romero but I just think they're beautiful shots. So here goes:

Behind the scenes shot:
I just adore the fluidity of the garments created by the sheer chiffon and silks... and the beautiful Swarovski crystals add 'pow' and sheer elegance. Just divine.

Can't wait to see more Romero! :) xx

New York Fashion Week S/S '09 - WANG

Alexander Wang offered some delights this season:

loving this risque sheer dress with appropriately placed squiggles reminiscent of those 80s music videos....

and these figure hugging sex dresses are definitely on the wish list:

S/S '09 favourites .... Ann-Sofie back, of course

The shows have begun, and one of my favourites designers is up first! woop. i must say i think her 2008 shows were way better... not as wow'd by this show but nevertheless, skill and yummy draping is always a winner with me.

Ann-Sofie Back:

1 month on...

...hi readers. well, since my posts a lot has happened.

i graduated and travelled (parts of) the world... as in previous posts you'll see i visited the immense, shopping capital (of the world, in my opinion) HONG KONG..


...followed by the most relaxing and incredible holiday on a beautiful island KO SAMUI.



Then, I went to Italy... I visited Rome, Florence and Milan.
The Colosseum was incredible ... Florence a little boring though picturesque of course... Milan? Disappointing compared to HK!

So, for the fashion update. The shows are coming up soon.. very excited about that but for now, I'd like to share with you highlights from the "2008 PolyU Fashion Show" I went to, hosted by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

One of my favourites was the collection 'multi-' by Ng Yan Yee Winnie:

More to report on... but it has taken an age to upload all those photos on mobile broadband... so I'll try to upload more young HK designers I thought were particularly exciting asap! x

As i wait to board the plane....

...i write to you on my phone to let you know i'm off to hong kong for 10 days, and from there to bangkok, followed closely by ko samui. I hope to get net access while i'm away to keep you posted on all things fashion in the far east. For now, muchos love. Xx

The End is Nigh...

Apologies for the lack of posts, I have been busy with finishing my degree and planning my travels across the world.

My friends and I celebrated the end of our degree by drinking plenty cocktails and dancing...


Well, that's it. From July 15th (my graduation), I will no longer be a student. I have finished my degree and I have the big wide world to face.... this means I'll have to eventually change the title of this blog. Watch this space.

Polka dot feather eyelashes: Shu Uemura
Chandlier earrings: Gift from spain...
Grecian one shoulder top/dress: Diana Bobar of So Fash'On

This Summer I'll be gracing Hong Kong, Koh Samui, Florence, Rome and Milan with my presence... any tips or must-see places, let me know. For now, I'll keep you posted on all important news -- but no longer as a student!

pleats, pleats, pleats!
