Margiela & Deadly Ponies

August 24, 2014
DSC_0573

In my opinion, Margiela has always been such a weird label, like you even don’t know what the orignal designer Mr Martin Margiela actually looks like (“Fashion’s invisible man – NY times) and it’s so very hard to define the label or any of their collections, they seemed always use black, grey, and white colours as their signature “minimal collection”and their design base, unlike other labels which normally will define their collections as Earth inspired, Ocean inspired etc.

Margiela is so weird, but in such a high fashion way, (“out of sight not out of mind – independent.co.ok”) if you go weird or ultra-edgy, you move to street style or edgy artisians, and probably will hardly to be grouped with Saint Laurent and Giorgio Armani. but Margiela the label, they hided small tiny little weird secrets in their garments and let you be the judge. They have elegant gowns, but on the another hand, also released these weird hoof / goat feet alike heels.
Anyway, I was so happy that I have snapped this girl who was wearing this pair of snakeskin-ed Margiela Boots, you can check out similar HERE or HERE, or whole MMM collection HERE

Deadly Ponies, the harmonious New Zealand label, with their ridiculously high level of smart craftsmanship, didn’t take them a long way to become one of the most talked about labels internationally.  They blend the luxury material with modern and edgy ideas, they are fun, creative but yet losing the defination of elegance of the luxury leather goods.
Mr_Double_Lure-cobalt_1024x1024I have already got 100 ways that I want to play with these sheep fur charms

They are not only just two combined mini shoulder bags but also with backpack transformability

I actually have been craving one of these similar bag from earlier Alexander Wang’s collections. The detachable net satchel at the bottom of the bag would be great to fit in we towel from beach, your water bottle or heels.

Docklands is still quiet, not too many people around, which is really good to relax and a weekend there, all the highrises are new and beautiful, with piers, harbour, new bars and architectures.

INSPIRED BY WHAT?

Acne has always been giving us soft punches on the face (and heart) each every season, like the flocked sweater I was wearing, it is with this beauuuutiful big round cocoon shape, but, but but which is actually from this soft, warm and relaxed texture. they don’t do shock values, they don’t want big sensational prints come and go like morning dew, they design, they feel, they craft, and we love them,  we are all models-off-duty at Stockholm. (no lady gaga and flashlight seekers are allowed ). As mentioned by the designer Johansson during the interview for Interview magazines, always mentioned in Swedish, the word “lagom”, means “at the middle”, has been taken effect around the studio. — Acne, this Swedish house, taking designs not minimal, but a bit of functional.
Every each season after watching Acne’s shows, I am like, oh, that is exactly what I wanted…. yeah, right, Acne has always raised the street fashion to the another level, maybe not just one level, a lots more levelZ. Such as the wide legged pants, we seen them, but we haven’t seen them tailored or wool blended right ? Here they are for you, “high-models” at Acne Studios.

I am thinking if I could get my hands on pairs of these “low ankled” ACNE socks, that paired with furry loafers or classic masculine leather shoes.

ACNE STUDIOS MEN’s FALL 2014

Acne_Studios_015_1366.450x675副本
ACNE Studios is confusing! Said who? sometimes they craft one of the most functional coats in the world, and the second season, they will do oversized hats, by oversize, I meant like ridiculous huge!
For garments from one season, i am like, I can’t take anything at all, other seasons, am like, I want more! I don’t know how long you will be looking at me here posting and complaining about anything  “ACNE hashtaged”.The flocked-printed-sweaters are not anything new, but since the few colours released last season, they sold out just like that. Bong! I regretted not having my hands on them quick enough. I’ve actually seen 5inchandup took it out again after the last season’s fever and it just looked so perfect on almost anything u want to pair with. Ahhhh, so here it is. and if you looked at my past looks, i am anyway a big fan of cocoon shaped sweaters, and so it is.  I won’t let this slip away from my collection, again!
The black sweater i wanted is out of stock in size large, i may check farfetch bit later for fulfil my collection.

Even its originally designed for girls to wear as a long sweatshirt or sweater-dress, while shrink it up to upper belly-button line, may show more about the textures and highlight the leg-line, give a sport-deluxe look.

Even this sweater is not anything new for this season, but i guess it anyhow still strongly supported Acne’s seasonal theme, which is “ocean and water”, the rounded sleeves line and the deep blue. Well done, Johnasson.

WHO THE F*** is JONATHAN WILLIAM

July 19, 2014
jw-anderson-fall-winter-2012-mens-4

He’s crazy, he’s young, he’s beautiful, he’s breaking the rules.
He’s idealistic, he’s a actor, he’s a deisnger.
He made Susie Lau and Alexa Chung fall,
he is changing the entire generation for separating men and women’s collections .

Famous for “lines-blurring” of gender in each of his collections, Jonathan William Anderson aka J.W. Anderson, has caught our eyes for each of his boundary-defiant movements.  
He’s been interested in finding out the chemistry between boy and girl, boy and boy, girl and girl. if pulling out one of his collections to show to a outsider, can they really clarify the blurred lines ?

Anderson has always been a fan playing abstract patterns, architechural prints and fun materials. Even though the strong expression and aggressive shapes of Anderson’s collections, he’s not forgetting to combine coziness and fine textures into each of his garments.

 Provoking yet wearable and functional,
Blurring defined yet strong characters,
that’s whose designs I am talking about, that’s J.W. Anderson’s.

6a01053694df79970b016760e17e43970b-800wi-1

These window-panes-looked thick cable knits are one of my favourite: unisexual, boy-girls, yet functional with luxury textures for coping with London’s winters.
