2010-03-24T11:14:00.012+10:00

Dior Chri-Chri has just been released last week.I really love the one in beige lamb skin with glossy 'Cannage' overstitching,
and also you have to check out those black Bunnie shoes that the model wearing.
Aren't they just stunning???

This bag pays homage to Monsieur Dior's love of lucky charms and other amulets which he always
carried with him, It also reinterprets the Dior code by seeing Cannage against the curvy silhouette of
a chain, in subtle reference to the ' New Look' attitude.

I have to say I felt a bit weird the first time I saw these photos on the Vogue China April
2010... It really surprised me how creative our editors and photographers in China have became
these days... very open minded and not afraid of looking inspiration from our past and history.
I like the colors of all these photos and Du Juan's perfect impression.

I can't believe it! Alexander McQueen is died!

The genius designer has always been my favorite.... We will never forget him!

"McQueen influenced a whole generation of designers.
His brilliant imagination knew no bounds as he conjured up collection after collection
of extraordinary designs. At one level he was a master of the fantastic, creating astounding
fashions shows that mixed design, technology and performance and on another he
was a modern-day genius whose gothic aesthetic was adopted by women the world over."

When Runway Comes To The Reality

2010-01-28T18:30:00.023+10:00

My Favorites of 2010 Menswear Street Style!

A sharply tailored dandy carrying along, what else? a schoolboy satchel.

I love the brown leather belt and how the way he paired it with the olives coat.

It takes someone with great personal style to make a piece unrecognizably his own. You'd never know
that this broad shoulderedleather jacket is from Zegna,only someone with an eye like Vogue Hommes'
Francesco Cominelli could wear it in his own unique way.

From the runway and straight to reality. Tucking the pants into the athletic socks and paired with brogue boots.

Great layers!

L'Uomo Vogue fashion editor Robert Rabensteiner is a man of true individual style, the guy just knows how to own it.

Here he is, wearing a Tyrolean hat that only he could pull off without looking too costumey.

The simple detail just stand out, like the way this guy cinched his three quarter length coat.

Double breasted look.

Love how he match the blue denim with the Dior Homme boots.

The season of the army parka.

It's amazing how he mixed a dresser pants with the athletic sneakers.

Fall 2010 Menswear Reports- Paris

2010-01-25T14:42:00.015+10:00

Here is another very interesting collection from Riccardo Tisci's Givenchy.

Can you see that albino dude from The Da Vinci Code (or should we say, The Givenchy Code)
wearing these garments? Slim suits in priestly black, shirts in white, monk sandals re-done in patent
leather that can be worn with a gold crownof thorns necklace, as well as spandex tights and skirt shorts
that are perfect for concealing a cincture.

Fall 2010 Menswear Reports- Paris

2010-01-25T14:11:00.044+10:00

Hi friends!

How was your weekend? Did you have a good time with your friends or family?

I had so much fun party with all the ladies at a beach house on the weekend.

Thanks for all my friends and especially Sarah for invited us.

Now, let's see what I've got from Paris Menswear fashion week.
If Burberry Prorsum is myfavorite collection of Milan fashion week, Louis Vuitton has to be my
favorite of all the Pairs shows! Louis Vuitton has no daring design statements this season. Instead,
a tight collection of plush tweeds, down vests, refined leather coats, simple wool trousers, and rubber
soled military boots, all anchored in a palette of black, gray, and espresso. Designers Marc Jacobs and
Paul Helbers simply created the most luxurious gentleman looks for this collection.

And boys, tell me how much you want these!

Refined Style

2010-01-21T12:16:00.026+10:00

After Gianfranco Ferré passed away 4 years later. Aquilano and Rimondi, the latest
designers to bear his mantle, they kept the master tailor'sarchitectural vision with
sculptural suiting, strong silhouettes, and wild knits. Come to the styling,
the Gianfranco Ferré man today has looked so much more flashy then the old Ferré man.

2010-01-20T16:30:00.024+10:00

Here are some old videos that I have to share with everyone again!

Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh are both my favorites designers, actually call them " artist"

should be a lot more suitable.They both are genius not only in the fashion industry also in the world of

performance art and contemporary art. These videos arecompletely showed us of their master creations

and also how the fashion has always been connected with art.

Fall 2010 Menswear Reports- Milan

2010-01-20T11:44:00.020+10:00

This season designer Frida Giannini bought a whole fresh modern look to her Gucci man. The

collection centers around a worldly man,the man who has confidence to break the traditions in the way

he plays the colours of suits and pairs sportswear with formal jackets. Designer Frida used the classical

fabrics mixed with modern styling,a new slim pants is cropped to the sockless ankle and worn with

oversized coats. It's just sophisticate and super elegant!

Burberry Prorsum, my favorite menswear collection of Fall 2010!

If I was a boy I would definitely wear all the Burberry jackets from this season.

Magazine Work

2010-01-19T00:10:00.037+10:00

This is one of my magazine work that came out last year in July.

It's an article about fashion and shopping in Milan and It's beenpublished in China. When the magazine

came out, I was already back in Australia, so I haven'tactually seen it yet. Here are some pictures that

my dad took from it and sent to me a while ago. Unfortunately they are all in Chinese.I really wish my

English writing skills could be a lot better, then I can actually write the article in English for you all to

read. But, I have been trying to practice my writing skills on the blog everyday so I might be able to do

it one day soon.

Where will a journey take you?

2010-01-18T15:03:00.017+10:00

At its soul, Louis Vuitton has always been about travel, both in its real and emotional sense.

The Journeys Core Values film and Wong Kar Wai's interpretation Blueberry Days sought to capture this.

What is a journey?

A journey is not a trip.

It's not a vacation.

It's a process. A discovery.

It's a process of self- discovery.

A journeys brings us face to face with ourselves.

A journey shows us not only the world,

but how we fit in it. or does the journey create the person?

The journey is life itself. Where will life take you?

Pre-Fall 2010 Givenchy

2010-01-17T11:36:00.016+10:00

Riccardo Tisci's pre fall collection is really cool. He bought back Givenchy to late 60's and early 70's

french style,but also didn't loose Riccardo's architecture simple and very clean cut.

How to Steal a Million

2010-01-16T16:18:00.011+10:00

I had so much fun watching "How to Steal a Million" again at the other day.
Audrey Hepburn is such a legend, she was looking so amazing in every single outfit designed by Huber de Givenchy
in the movie. As every know that Audrey and Givenchy had very long friendly relationship until she passed away.
The style they created together has always been the most inspired inspiration for all other designers today.

Pre- Fall 2010: Chanel In Shanghai

2010-01-13T13:43:00.005+10:00

Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Donatella Versace... more and more fashion designers moved their
runway show into the China land. Not only because their collections inspired by Chinese style, more
important is the marketing idea behind those companies. As everyone know, China has already became
the biggest market in the world of buying luxury goods.

Just did some research of the Australia fashion week today.
There are some quite interesting stuff out there.
Really in love with this outfit from Zimmerman S/S 2009/2010 collection.
I loved everything of it... the beautiful colors, the pleats on the pants,
the tiny tops and of course the fabulous styling.
Btw, look how lovely those shoes are.

Time For The Vampire Working!

2009-04-19T05:53:00.035+10:00

My desktop was changing pics every 5 sec,
i suddenly saw the beautiful pic of Vivien Leigh from vintage vogue.
She has always been my favorite actress since i was a little girl...

It's 4:12 am in Beijing right now. Since I'm still awake i decided to write something here...I haven't
been able to sleep before 2 am for years. Even sometimes I go to bed early, I will still end up sleeping
around 4 o'clock as usual. Don't know why and since when I'm always soooo awake in the night. After
awhile I just totally changed my body clock into the vampire time and started to work at the time when
everybody is dreaming. I remember when i was in Milan, I once kept working for 72 hrs without sleep,
it was way too crazy and stressful... I almost passed out in the metro after the presentation.

Teddy bear just so sweet! He has downloaded all the 'Hitchcockan' films for me today and is waiting
me to come back watch together. I'm really excited for that! Thank you my darling! Love you!

It's raining outside...My eyes are starting to hurt... I better get some sleep now.
I'm going to fitting the dancers on Monday, wish me luck!

Hats Off

2009-04-17T21:51:00.039+10:00

Look how amazing those hats are! They come from the exhibition of Stephen Jones 'Hats: An Anthology' at London's Victoria and Albert museum.

The one on the designer Giles is so cute, it reminds me when i was a little kid, i had the same thing. It was colorful shinny, when i wore it.

09' life has been treating me not bad so far.
I'm going back Australia at the beginning of next month.
There are only 20 days left until i can sleep next to my sweetest boyfriend
again... We've been apart almost 6 months since i've been back in Beijing...

I'm missing him so much and can't wait to the day i see him....

I have been pretty busy working on a costume collection during the past few months.
The collection is designed for the leading actor of an international ballroom dancing musical.
Now, the works are almost done and I'm very excited to see how my ideas finally becoming true.
The musical is based on a famous chinese novel called "Chang Hen Ge"
and it will soon show in Beijing Bao Li Theater.
It would be a good performance that is worth to see.

I also did some nice photo-shoots for my modeling profile about a week ago. I haven't been modeling
since i was in 2nd year of uni, so it's almost 4 years ago... The photo-shoot was great fun for me
working as a model again, both the photographer and I werevery enjoyed work together,
we were just felt free let the photo-shoot keep going since 10am until 11pm.
I will post some of my new photographs here later on, hope you will enjoy them as i do.

Eva Under the Look of Irina Ionesco

2009-04-16T03:07:00.024+10:00

I couldn't move my eyes off these stunning works when I found them.
It reminds me so much of Nobokov's Lolita. These photographs are shot by french photographer
Irina Ionesco who is the one of the most controversial artist, her work is described as erotic.
The little girl in these photographs is her young daughter, Eva... from the age of 5 to the age of 10.

All the pictures are extremely beautiful... also showing both the pure innocent and the dark evil.
They speaks of the different side of this world where delirium, death and passion.
The paradoxica has made them even more extraordinary.

Vertigo

2009-04-16T00:41:00.021+10:00

Recently I started to re-watch all the classical films. They make me feel a lot different from
what I used to remember when I see them now ... Last night, I really enjoyed watching
Vertigo, one of the "Hitchcockian" film.

The Great Pretender

2009-04-15T19:34:00.025+10:00

Here are some brilliant works from Steven Meisel which i found today.

They are going to be published on American Vogue at May 2009. The model is Natalia Vodianova.

she is very versatile and looks amazing in every pictures, also the styling are absolute perfect.

I really fell in love with those classical looks.
