Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture

I always see myself as a street wear lover rather than couture, but there's something about Elie Saab that everyone, not just me, cant get enough. This was from a couple of months ago, but i just had to re post some pictures from Elie Saab's 2011 Fall collection, inspired by skyscrapers. Reminds me of icey queens, fairytale-like kind of characters. I am amazed of how the models look like as if they are wearing a beautiful piece of delicate glass. So beautiful. They categorised by several colors, but these are my favourites.

Something from 2008

I was googling a class mate's name from my degree (wasnt stalking this person fyi), and i stumbled upon our Industrial design Parting Line Exhibition's booklet we made, and it was held at Guilford Lane, Melbourne. Was really excited to find this on google for some reason. How i really miss uni life and design school.

Click here for the full booklet.

I really wanna develope more on the furniture (ie getting the right knit, the right size and the right weight), but had no time before this as i was completing my masters and too busy traveling after that. Target for 2012, develope the Turkhed chair. noted.

Another amazing structure

Was looking through Frame website, came across this article on the new structure made in King's Cross Station in London, due to open by Olympic 2012. Absolutely amazing.

I like how the structure sort of contrast with the old brick building, giving the environment a complete new feeling. And i guess i have a soft spot for anything white structure/architecture/interior. The engineer i assume probably had a crazy time figuring this out.

Happy Eid Mubarak!

Sorry for the vain pot picture, but i like to show a picture of the kaftan i bought from mimpikita. I bought on sale, totally worth it :)

Stay safe everyone !!

10 things i would not....

A couple of weeks ago, i spent some time browsing through a book to teach me how to illustrate design in fashion. I somehow stumbled upon a book, which I unfortunately don't remember the title and the author of the book, but it was about 50 fads in fashion. I agreed with 80% of what was listed, u know the usual, muffin tops, showing thongs, bla bla bla. But he listed down red lipsticks and black-top-to-toe as fashion taboo too, haha that i don't agree. I decided to list down my top 10 most forbidden things in fashion/ one's appearance.. Now bare in mind, im no fashion expert or what u call a "fashionista", they're just things i would not wear/ do/ grow,  u might think likewise, so no disrespect to anyone :).

1) Extra long nails with nail art.

It is a little bit trashy to me.

2. Asian with Full head blonde.

Especially if it is platinum blonde. I guess highlights can be nice, but if u have full blonde hair on asian features, its a bit too k pop looking for me.

3) Prints on Satin

If i have to choose one kind of fabric that i hate, i have to say satins, especially with prints on them. To me, satin looks cheap, its meant to be used for lining only. Very rare that a satin dress turns out nice. Satins might work if they are plain and mixed with chiffon or silk. 

This Yellow dress is by Alexander McQueen, which i find really rare to hate.

i did however found a nice printed satin dress by Christopher Kane. I guess its just coz i have a soft spot for Galactic/ Nebular Prints. I guess it goes to say that if u wanna use satin, u gotta have the right print.

4) Fishnet Stockings

I just don't like them, sorry.

5) Metallic Stretch 

The Fabric is meant for

i) Gymnastics costumes

ii) Halloween costumes

iii) People Born in outer space ( or u work in Star Trek's ship )

iv) if u are Marilyn Monroe.

6) Tuxedo Ruffles

I don't know why, but i really, really hate them. But i guess its not the case for all tops with tuxedo ruffles, but majority are just, hmm wrong. Maybe those mini ruffles reminds me of caterpillars for some reason!

7) Intentional Butt Cracks.

This is probably is a common fad, but yes they are simply unacceptable. But i have to admit, i had them unintentionally. haha

Unless u have this girl's ass, u r forgiven. LOL.

8) Coloured Wig

They are fun, yes, but please don't take them seriously.

Only Katy Perry gets a pass for this.

9) Too tight clothes.
All i can say is just don't be ashamed of your own size, be ashamed when your belly is showing.

10) Furry Boots.
Need i say more?

I have loads more in my head, but i cant be bothered to list them all. Hope u enjoyed my list. 

Just playing around with my ipad's photoshop express. Didn't know we can do a lot of things with the application. Ipad has crappy camera, very pixelated and blurry. What i really need right now is a good camera, because as u can see i have been relying on my blackberry and ipad cameras, which clearly, are not that reliable.
