Heidi Klum
"TOP.THAT.NEXT.YEAR"

Hectic Vacation

Alright, I might not be as "back in full force" much, which I'm having such great guilt for the past few days. But if you were in my place, with this frantic Final Year Project, I don't think you would be any less uninspired for a post as me.

But of course, I do need my daily dose of fashion through cyberspace. Latest buzz, rumors, red-carpet shows, parties, yes, I'm still constantly updating myself.

And through that, I've noticed that some of the fresh Spring 09 pieces are already slowly popping out on celebrities for the red-carpets and store openings.

So which are the pieces that you would DIE to be seen off runway? For me, I'm still anticipating something from Basso & Brooke Spring 09, specifically, this piece:

It's one of the more toned-down pieces from the show, which is great for the whole "off-the-runway" perception, yet still carries the show factor, and the statements of Basso & Brooke spring 09.

But again, it might be Kinee Diouf's dark dark DARK skin that really contrasted the dress which made it such a stunner.

Peter Som: "Farewell Bill Blass"

All infused with whole lot of business politics in the industry, designer names flying across labels shouldn't be much of a surprise. Being assigned can be a thing, but making A HIT can be quite another.

Remember these amazing pieces Peter Som did for his debut runway show in Bill Blass in Fall 08?

You might find them familiar, as these are some of the many pieces that graced magazine covers, being featured in editorials and rocking out the red-carpets.

But, you might gonna miss similar pieces(or better) as Peter Som recently announced his departure from Bill Blass. Well, it shouldn't be much of a surprise since there weren't any show from Bill Blass for Spring 09 and people were already speculating Peter Som would wave his graceful goodbye to the house.

No specific reason was out from the man, but I'm pretty sure that there might have some artistic differences between the designer and NexCen Brands Inc., the company owner of the house, since even Anna Wintour couldn't persuade Peter Som to renew his contract.

What a pity, I really liked how well both Peter Som's and the house's reputed aesthetics fused with each other. Well, of course, it is to note that Bill Blass one of the first few houses that he designed for after he graduated from Parsons.

So who would take over the Bill Blass big name? We shall see...

Short & Sweet Unplanned Black

Finally, had a short and sweet tea session with the FN girls. Didn't really had some simple tea actually, since we practically had breakfast sets at toastbox, which though, was nice and comforting to counter the chilling (pouring) rain this afternoon.


The girls, are very down-to-earth, funny and relatable as always :D

Had so much fun chat with them, from fashion(of course) to education. From movies to music.
Oh, and coincidentally, we all wore black, unplanned.

more outfit details, go to their blog.

Awaken

Sorry for the long absence, well, if anyone really cared... Not deliberately showing emotions, but the number of comments I'm getting is rather... demoralizing. Oh well...

But I'll be back in full force soon, as it's the HOLIDAYS!

Just when I thought I had enough of couture editorials, they just gets better and better.

Editorial Deserved

Tanya Dziahileva in Numero #97

Turning 18(?), why not more provocative.

There aren't many editorials for tanya in the past, and I would say that this S/S 09 season isn't a lucky one for her. So let's hope everything will have a delighting turn from now on.

Quoting Heidi Klum?

For every male model followers, Danila Polyakov's androgynous look shouldn't be in any difficulty of successfully being injected into our heads with his superb editorial works and runway shows. I can firmly say that he's still my very favourite male model up till now.

But you guys should know Heidi Klum's project runway's quote, and I'm afraid Polyakov's facing the same fate. He was almost everywhere from Fall 07 to Fall 08, but now, he just seemed to vanished from the lens this spring 09 season.

Carlos, Laila, please tell me you guys know where is he? :(

Art X Fashion = Hussein Chalayan

Remember these dresses from Hussein Chalayan's Spring 09 collection which I had blogged about here??

Well, not practically DRESSES. They are pure ART. And London's Design Museum are officially acknowledging that, by having an exhibition featuring the designer. These amazing creations by Hussein Chalayan, along with other famous past works from the designer like,

The LED dresses from Fall 07,

And architectural pieces from Spring 2000

The exhibition will only start from January 21 to May 17 2009 at the Design Museum, which aren't much of a long wait, though now I'm already excited for some pictures that kind souls over the web would put up when they visit.
