I Heart UNIQLO “+J” Collection

Rejoice, UNIQLO fans! On Dec 3rd, UNIQLO store will be opening their third and largest store in South East Asia at 313@Somerset. Better still, the much anticipated collection designed by Ms Jill Sander will be launched at the store on its opening day. Lucky for me, I was in HK last week to check out the collection in stores. I even managed to buy a pair of dark skinny jeans and purple pin stripe shirt from the collection. Yay! If you want to preview the latest Spring 2010 UNIQLO collection, you can win an exclusive invitation to a very special fashion show on Dec 2nd HERE! It is probably their biggest fashion show to date at the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore’s Grand Ballroom. I’m going to be there! ARE YOU?

Style: Week 2009: New Look F/W 2009 Showcase

Are you ready for a New Look? Fash-E was at ION Orchard for Style: Week 2009 and New Look paraded their latest Fall/Winter 2009 trends out on the catwalk. Let’s do some trendspotting: sequins, animal/vintage floral prints, bright-coloured tights, plaid, leather jacket and knitwear. You can’t go wrong in these style choices. I’ll let the pictures do the talking (it’s like 1am now, I need sleep!):

Here’s a video of the final walkthrough of both New Look & GG<5 collection.

New York Couture: One-Of-A-Kind

PA-PA-PANDA!

New York Couture is truly one-of-a-kind. The label is a “harmonious blend of punk-rock cool, ultra-glam and prima ballerina”. It translates every girl’s childhood (or rather dark) fantasies into their something wearable. You can expect to see limited edition or one-of-a-kind cotton skirts, tops and dresses. Unlike good TV shows, New York Couture don’t do repeats. So you’ll be proud to own your special piece and wear it proud. Big names such as Katy Perry, Pink, Agyness Deyn and Leelee Sobieski were seen in some of their designs. A little eccentricity doesn’t hurt right? I’m eyeing something from their collection… hmm.

I Heart Elizabeth and James, Spring ‘09

Elizabeth and James, is the pet fashion line by the power-house twins, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen and they’ve just launched their Spring ‘09 collection. Let me say, I am totally in looooove with what they have in store! If you like a hint of menswear, you’re going to be blown away. Elizabeth and James‘ neutral colors and feminine separates were shaken, not stirred with a little bit of playfulness. I’ve to say I’m intrigued and I want more.

I’ll stab you with my heels.

Trigger happy summer.

I’ll push and you’ll play ball.

Bittersweet, innocence.

As one of the hottest labels in London, Preen presents a sexy capsule collection of six dresses designed exclusively for NET-A-PORTER. From bright fuchsia to metallic black to electric blue, these dresses are going to be the biggest talk in town. Preen has a loyal following from celebrities such as Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow - and you’ve prolly seen Gwyneth wearing the black version of the above.

I think I’m falling in love with dresses once again.

Bestest TV Style: Week [29 Sept - 3 Oct]

Update: So, BB has yet to reply my email or sms. I guess he is either busy or just couldn’t be bothered. I don’t know. Well, that’s all for now.

We’re back for another week of Bestest TV Style. The best of fashion from my favourite TV shows, of course. Let’s just say Gossip Girl totally rocked the house last week with one of the biggest episodes ever with guest appearances such as Michael Kors (reportedly a big fan of the show) and socialite Tinsley Mortimer in her second appearance in the show. Lipstick Jungle introduced a hot new guy for my favourite character, Victory Ford. Let’s hope this goes somewhere! 90210 is still the same – nothing too exciting but clothes still look good. Project Runway S5 is heading to Bryant Park very soon. This is one emotional episode and a good one too. Can’t wait for what’s in store this week!

Gossip Girl: “The Serena Also Rises”

Michael Kors and Tinsley Mortimer is in the house!

Eleanor Waldorf’s fashion show. Socialites saved the day!

Jenny Humphrey has cute dress, don’t you think? I love her BAG too!

Blair always rock the vintage-modern look. And, headbands are still ‘in’.

Serena rises again, as she’s the new Paris Hilton.

Lipstick Jungle: “Help!”

Nico’s royal purple dress looks outstanding!

PRINTS! I like.

You don’t need to look powerful in a suit.

Mummy-chic?

Imagine. Playing John Lennon.

90210: “Model Behavior”

Silver in silver. HAHA. I dig the fingerless leather gloves.

Mummy is a photog. And, she’s good.

Seriously. Do high school kids in Beverly Hills dress like that?

Stripes and bright red wedges. Sweet!

Project Runway S5: “Nature Calls”

Only four contestants left. The pressure is mounting. This week, contestants visit the Botanical Gardens and take photos of nature that will inspire their design. Here’s Jerrell’s and Kenley’s designs respectively.

Korto’s and Leanne’s. Can’t wait for Bryant Park!
