TALK TO ME! LCF MA SPECIAL - TINA ELISABETH REITER

Tina Elisabeth Reiter is the overall winner in menswear this year. What impressed me most from the collection are the earth tone colour palette and the pleats. I was not surprised to see men in skirts (and even long kilts) now but sleeves with volumes would recall my memory of the Barbie's dress from my younger sister. Tina made some change and I think that's why I like this collection. Inspired by homelessness, the collection, THE SOUND OF HOMELESS(NESS), is a story of searching for your root in this globalised world. Getting lost, searching for my way, going back home and getting lost again are what I keep doing in these few years, have you found your which guide you to what you belong to?

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.
