I’m very surprise that Chanel got “one of the greatest filmmaker of all time”Martin Scorsese to direct the Bleu de Chanel, men’s fragrance ad. Is this a recent phenomenon for luxury brands to engage notable filmmakers to direct their ads and more ambitiously, short films? Sofia Coppola directed Miss Dior Cherie and a recent one with Natalie Portman. Then, Zoé Cassavetes for Louis Vuitton‘s Hide and Seek – an ethereal film set in London featuring the Summer 2010 collection. Who can forget that super stylish Gucci Guilty short directed by visual extraordinaire Frank Miller. Now, Tisch Alumni Martin Scorsese! That’s like a BIG DEAL. I can’t wait to see more famous filmmakers collaborating with fashion.
It’s like marrying both of my passions into a perfect piece of art.

I was on the bus, looking at the red carpet photos from the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards this morning on my way to work. Thank goodness for iPhone! Let’s see, this year we spotted old-Hollywood glamour, various textures, navy hues and lotsa sparkles! For the “Ultimate” Best Dressed, I can’t decide whether I like January Jones‘ Versace or Anna Paquin‘s Alexander McQueen better… there’s no way I can pick only ONE! Here are my favourites from the 2010 Emmys red carpet:
ELECTRIFYING! I <3 everything about this metallic blue, textured gown by Versace.
Anna Paquin stands out in this bold gold/black Alexander McQueen number.
A girl almost never leaves home without an umbrella – especially in Singapore. Starting from today, Chloéwill celebrate “Shopping in the Rain” for all fashionistas to kickstart the Fall/Winter 2010 season. Designed by Chloé‘s Artistic Director, Hannah MacGibbon, this limited edition umbrella features a new calligraphic “C” logo and pattern printed flowers.

Yayyy! I finally met Alexa Chung and talked to her (briefly – but still…). Thanks to CLUB 21 for the fabulous invite to the party of the MONTH at Tanjong Beach Club, Sentosa! Ahh… bliss. This party not ‘all’ about Alexa Chung. It’s the launch of the Mulberry Autumn/Winter 2010 collection – and yes, the theme is Naughty Royalty. Surprisingly, I didn’t spot too many Mulberry Alexa bags tonight – I guess everyone didn’t want to risk carrying the same bag! Alright, I’m tired – need sleep. Will blog more tomorrow when I upload the video of the Mulberry A/W 2010 show featuring two adorable pups – a Pug and a French Bulldog! Cute or what?
Definitely ‘the’ Party of the Week
Hello Alexa Chung! Is she twit-picing us? (Nope, I checked)
There is something special about marriage of music & fashion. Asian celebrities flocked to Oscar-winning Tan Dun’s “Martial Arts Trilogy“ premiere at the World Expo 2010 Shanghai on August 7. Presented by Bottega Veneta, the “Martial Arts Trilogy” was performed by the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, China Youth Symphony Orchestra, and Shanghai Philharmonic at the magnificent Expo 2010 Shanghai Cultural Centre. Let’s see who wears what at this cultural extravagant affair:
The ladies and their Bottega Veneta Knot Clutches. Who are they?
ALICE by Temperley is becoming a fast favourite of mine especially the Cruise 2010 collection. The sister line to Temperley London, ALICE by Temperley is the more affordable, ready-to-wear line that is inspired by the “London girl of the moment”. This young label already garnered celebrity fanslike Daisy Lowe, Beyonce, Coca Rocha, Jessica Biel, Amber Le Bon and Rihanna. A little whimsical, a little girly – the Cruise 2010 collection definitely made me smile today. The collection is inspired by he designer’s trip to Africa. Temperley said: “I loved the fabrics worn – the large and bold contrasting graphics. The muse for cruise is a traveling hunter”.

To celebrate the opening of Rouge World‘s showroom, yours truly attended a private potluck party and played clothes horse in Bolongaro Trevor the entire night. How can you blame me when I’m surrounded by gorgeous garments and accessories! Besides Bolongaro Trevor, Rouge World also distributes Nikolaj d’Étoiles,Ekjo, Handwritten, Lungta de Fancy, Lefranc Ferrant, Martin Grant, Atalanta Weller & Minna Parikka (omg, shoes galore!). So watch out, Singapore! These designer labels are coming to you – very, very soon and you’ll hear it first from Fash-Eccentric! Here’s a preview of what’s in store for Bolongaro Trevor (in case you didn’t know, the designers are the original founders of UK’s cult store All Saints):
I absolutely heart this Bolongaro Trevor dress with charms! Is this Naughty Royalty?
Who’s excited about Alexander Wang? I am! The Alexander Wang Fall 2010 campaign video fronted by model Abbey Lee Kershaw in a dark, gritty hotel which is nothing like its inspiration: Wall Street. My first love is filmmaking – but there has to be a purpose. The idea of fashion x moving visuals is definitely sexy. Does it truly resonate designer’s artistic vision and emotions? Maybe. I guess I’ll have to see the collection to make that connection.
“We’re always striving to communicate the frame of mind behind the collection, whether it’s through our show or imagery, but this season we got to delve much deeper… my inspiration for Fall ‘10 unfolds in a raw and visually arresting dreamscape,”Alexander Wang told style.com
