Summer to Fall

Hey everyone! Apologies for the summer close.. After a busy few months of travelling and working, time zoomed by like a bullet. Though days are getting darker and frostier, the warm season remains tucked into cosy oversized-coats and woven jumpers. And though light gradually veils itself, it is the shine soaked up that provides energy to withstand the freezing winter. Fall, which yields to blackness hence can be electrified from the past season!

Rare Exceptional Blazers

A normal cut blazer is an essential, but an exclusive design makes one look glamorous and sets you apart from the classics and everyone else. Dior Homme in Kris van Assche's debut triggered new character within the 2008 & 2009 collections. As for more current designs, Hong Kong fashion designer Henry Lau makes beautiful jackets under the label Spy along with John Galliano, Gareth Pugh, and Neil Barrett!

Crazy Prints - D&G + Others

For anyone out there seeking attention to stand out among crowds, an eye catching overlay is the best way to go! D&G for their last collection Spring/Summer 2012, as announced back in late September 2011, ended the label with splashes of electrifying colors, mind-blowing patterns and spontaneity. According to designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana D&G will translate into their other labels, giving "even more energy and strength to our collections" (~nymag.com).

Asymmetrical

Whether it is for girls or boys, symmetry has been overdone. Designers nowadays therefore are moving steps beyond from the ordinary into greater scopes making imagination come to life. From special techniques in fabric choice, shapes, lines, and cuts, designers challenge themselves to transform clothes into contemporary and unique pieces! For men, the most recognized item was and probably still is the asymmetrical zipper jacket. Though it is mainly seen for women (mainly in Haute Couture collections), over the top designers notably Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Vivienne Westwood do provide this world of fantasy and inventiveness distinct to other designers.
