ME IN PRESS - FENG SHANG WEEKLY MEN'S WEEK FEATURE

Nothing much to say but I am now at home having a short break before going back to London for my new start. It's the first time for me doing a trend book liked fashion week report. Have a look if you read Chinese.

MY PICK - THE BEST OF 2012

Chinese always recall what they did during the year in the the new year's eve. It's time to have a recap of my busy 2012 with all the amazing windows and emerging designers. I got many new opportunities as a freelancer and my blog seems having more and more regulars. Interviewing Romeo Gigli is the highlight of my 2012 and he is just so inspirational. I really hope to see him again in my career and can't wait to see his SS2013 Joyce collaboration. Thanks Cosmopolitan HK and Joyce again for this opportunity.

Thank you very much for all the regulars' supports and all the repost from twitter.
I picked my 2012 favourites and I hope they are yours too!

My favourite Window displays:

J.W. Anderson for Topshop by Gary Card

There is no doubt about me choosing the JWA fro Topshop window as my 2012 favourite. Two of my favourite people in the world worked together to create a little JWA world in the Topshop flagship. The collection is not my cup of tea but the whole set-up definitely is. 

JOYCE by Romeo Gigli

I didn't get many chances to interview big people in the industry. Romeo is not very well known in my generation and I've never heard of him before I got the chance to meet him in person. Thanks Joyce for bringing him back to the fashion world and I got a chance to see his classical designs. You would love to have a small exhibition in store when gong shopping wouldn't you!? (special thanks Cosmopolitan HK)

Moschino

I can't list the best window from Moschino since they always impress me when I pass by their store. So I would invite you to have a look of my Moschino archive and see how fun their windows are.

My Favourite Store:

0416X1024

0416X1024 is my favourite Taiwanese brand since my first visit to Taipei. I was so surprised when the founder agreed to let me have a feature of the flagship on my blog during my Taiwan trip in summer. Hope you enjoy your visit there if you are traveling Taiwan.

My favourite menswear designer:

Kit Neale

Three words: PRINT, PRINTING and PRINTS. You may think I work for Lobster & Burger if I wear a shirt with lobster print. I don't care since lobsters is a must-have in the coming season! 

My favourite womenswear designer:

Simone Rocha

You don't know how much I love this womenswear designer. I would dare to be a girl if I could own a range of her clothes.

My favourite graduate designer:

Kay Kwok

I don't think I have to explain why and introduce who Kay Kwok is, do I? The Hong Kong born LCF MA graduate rocked in the digital print and 3D printing skills. I really look forward to his coming collections.

TALK TO ME! LCF MA SPECIAL - KAY KWOK

To be honest I don't really know how to introduce Kay Kwok. We know each other from Hong Kong and I followed him after his HK graduation and kept watching him when he did some competition in HK (I was a magazine reporter at the same time.). I looked forward to this collection at the first day we landed London and I am very pleased he did a really great job! This Egypt inspired collection got loads of 'retweets' on the Weibo (Chinese twitter). I am sure you want to know more about this Hong Kong guy and it's the time for you to explore him yourself.

LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION MA SHOW

I finally got a new lens for taking show photos by myself and I don't have to bother the brands for the official photos. I think I still have to take some time to get used to it and I hope I will take better photos very soon. I got an invitation from my dear friend, Kay Kwok for joining his graduation show last Thursday at V&A and it was also my first time to watch the LCF MA show after I came to London. I would like to thank him for sharing the joy with me and he did a really great job! The show showcased 23 collections including mens and womenswear, the shoes and accessories design students' work as well. I was amazed by some work with very nice lazer cutting, digital printing and 3D printing technique. Great to see some unique lace as well! Ok, it's time to memorise new names now.
