As you know, Abigail Lorick has contributed some pretty pieces to Blair’s wardrobe in Gossip Girl. Refinery29 sneaked into the backstage of Lorick’s Summer 2009 Presentation - and it’s nothing you’ve seen before. Half-naked models. Beautiful smashed (with bare hands) cakes. Stolen plants from a lawn. Talk about anti-fashion establishment and a fresh perspective. Otherwise, we’re still loving the clothes by Lorick. You don’t have to make things beautiful all the time.

Look at the mess. Beautiful chaos?

Pick the cake with your fingers.

I’m in love already.

Can’t get enough of GEEK.

Interesting headpiece.

Do not cross the line.

Damage control. Broken chandeliers.

Wow. What a hat.

Get ready for October 5th! Target’s new collaboration with British designer, Jonathan Saunders presents a collection of offbeat, and fashion-forward designs that will blow your closet to pieces! Okay, I’m being dramatic. I simply love the mix of funky prints and color-blocks. Even the silhouette is very chic and alluring. Why is there no Target in Singapore? Sigh. This country has too many Giordano and Esprit shops. We need fashion diversity!! Hello!!

Love the blue tone skirt!! And, leather ankle-boots. Yummy.

Ooh, multi-color print jacket. I like. And, high-waisted tulip skirt. Sweet.

Color blocks. Rocks.

At the age of 18, I would be stoked if I produced a capsule collection like Laila from Rock.The.Trend. I’ve to say, she’s a tremendously talented fashion designer (only a 1st year student at Temasek Polytechnic!) who has a bright, stylish future ahead of her. I’m incredibly proud of her third capsule collection as I notice her progression as a designer. And, I’m so glad to meet Laila in person too. You go, girl!

The Queen of Pop, Madonna is back on the road with her Sticky & Sweet World Tour! I’m such a big Madonna fan. She’s prolly my ‘first’ idol since the 80s - when I was like six? (Also, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, MJ etc. You get the drift - unless you’re 16 or younger). As you know, French fashion house Givenchy will dress Madonna for the Sticky and Sweet World Tour. We’ve seen the sketches earlier this month and now, let’s check out her hot tour outfits that will make you sweat:

Only Madonna rocks the pant-less look. Hmm, sheer black top.

Lookin’ fabulous at 50. Notice the fingerless gloves? Nice.

Me love pink guitars. And, she clips her hair with red bobby pins. Simple.

I bet her performance was electrifying! You can watch clips at madonna.com

Rock ‘n’ Roll, baby! That reminds me to learn to play the guitar.

Her majesty and her throne. Then, Asian-inspired NFL look? I’ve no idea!

Somehow, I really dig this look. It’s like vintage sporty. Love the rainbow star belt!

Ahh, seen the drawings - now this is how it looks like. Sweet.

Sporty wedges! I want!! *notes in X’mas list*

I like tuxedo-inspired boady suit with fringe! Really clever.

The Cult of Madonna. Are you part of it?

Oh, Peaches Geldof

First, Amy Winehouse. Now, British IT-girl, Peaches Geldof has fallen into a deep, dark hole. On Sunday, she was given the “kiss of life” after a suspected drug overdose. This wild child of Sir Bob Geldof has been surprising us with her antics and of course, her chameleon style. Fash-E hopes she doesn’t fall from grace at such a young age. Let’s take a look at her style transformation from 2005:

My favourite look of all (see left)- her braided hair and Fendi everything. Nice.

Hanging out with her equally stylish sister, Pixie Geldof.

Blonde Ambition: Peaches will be launching her capsule collection soon. She told Refinery29, “It’s very sexy, flirty, and very new romantic/neo-gothic and 1960s Swinging London. Don’t expect any bright colors—but frills, short hemlines, and plunging backless all-in-ones are all featured prominently. There are also a few vanity cases on offer bag-wise, and some great 1960s-style buckled ankle boots.”

I like how she makes preppy looks ultra-snazzy, and punkish.

She’s got the rocker, glam chick going on.

Peaches always has her lil’ black dress, and black stockings.

She loves purple!

How ironic that Peaches‘ friends are wearing the same thing with the same hair!

I Heart Natalia Fabia’s Art

I was watching Miami Ink last Sunday night and I developed an enormous girl crush on Natalia Fabia. I’m in love with her art, her style and HER as an individual - she’s simply amazing! Basically, she was a client at Miami Ink and she got this gorgeous chandelier tattooed on her back (as seen below) by Tim Hendriiks, the new but very talented tattoo artist on the show.

Miami Ink showcased Natalia’s art works on the show which got me immensely intrigued with this amazing artist. Now, I wanna know everything about her. Here are some of her works and I’m planning to buy this print of the lady in the red tub. Enjoy.

This goes into my future studio (yes, I’ll have my own studio).

I like how she captured the lighting details. Beautiful.

Her earlier work. Most of ‘em are situated in parties and clubs.

Women at their most glamorous positions. LOL.

Beautiful. Natalia has a fascination for hookers.

Sexy Paris.

Definitely one of my faves. Amazon girl.
