I.T IN HONG KONG - SIMONE ROCHA SPECIAL

MY PICK - SIMONE ROCHA BOX BAG

JUST FOR SOME FUN! - (As you know) Simone Rocha is always my favourite womenswear designer and I wanted to get this box bag since I first saw it in the SS2013 show last year. Although the weather is just warm enough for Spring clothes, I have got the bag since January. My friends always said it should be with a bunch of flowers but I have some cooler (but silly) ideas in my mind - besides helping your clutch for layering, showing off the magazine you read recently, 

I believe the box bag is the perfect of a baguette.

Perhaps you will have some more great idea for carrying it out?

LOOT AT ME! - I AM A PAPER DOLL!

If you are a regular of my blog I am sure you know I have a avatar every season illustrated by my friend, Alexander Wong. I came up with the paper doll last year but he thought it was too much for every season. I just got this today - an actual paper doll figure with my face. This little boy have so many J.W Anderson items like me! I hope I can buy him clothes every season now :)

LOOK AT ME - THANK YOU YANG DU!

It seems taking photos for all my new outfits is not really my things now. I am sure I haven't updated mt style shots for more than a year now. Thank you so much to Yang Du for helping me taking these cute photos this time during the LFW. Time to share what I was wearing.

SIMONE ROCHA FOR DOVER STREET MARKET

I am having a hard study time at the moment since my final exam is holding next week. However, One of my favourite womenswear designer Simone Rocha is having her first window in the Dover Street Market SS2013 reopening. If you don't know who she is I am sure you have to check her work out! I missed the chance to see her new shop-in-shop today but I will go back tomorrow!!

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.

LOOK AT ME! - MY FW2012 AVATAR

My avatar collaboration with my illustrator friend has been doing for the fifth season now. He always get what I really want to have and make me look too handsome. All my friends know the Simone Rocha brogues are my must-have in FW2012 but I couldn't fit in! Thanks for making my dream comes true for wearing these shoes and Yes! I am a Comme des Garcons paperdoll this season! x

MY PICK - SIMONE ROCHA SS2013

I always say if I was a girl, all I want to wear was Simone Rocha. Although I won't change my gender just for wearing womenswear (I still love being a boy, thanks), I did get some pieces from Simone from her previous collections. The unisex style and unique fabrication make Simone Rocha became my number one womenswear designer. Start following her since SS2011, I am very surprised to see how a designer can grow her brand globally in only 4 seasons. I am sure you will feel awkward if you don't know her name when mentioning London new designers.

LOOK AT ME!! BY STREET PEEPER

My friend just told me I was on Street Peeper this morning. It was taken in the previous LFW and I was in J.W. Anderson Shirt and Cut-out sweater from LN-CC, Simone Rocha box clutch and J.W. Anderson crystal boots.

SELFRIDGES - BRIGHT YOUNG THINGS 3

Alex Noble(Fashion desiger), Simone Rocha(Womenswear designer), Sophie Stephens(Illustrator) and Craig Lawrence(Knitwear Designer) are the final 4 new talents showing in the Selfridges windows.

I think I know Sophie Stephens before when she drew for the House of Holland T-shirts.

I love her drawings and feel so great she has her own print tee now!
