Just so you know, Uniqlo‘s +J collection is not going anywhere. The Fall/Winter 2010 collection will be hitting the 313@Somerset store in mid-October. Over 100 items will be available for this collection. The collection is inspired by the “fusion of couture and sportswear, sculptured, iconic silhouettes, distinctive cuts, sensuous materials, original and of high quality, and of the new variations on the +J classic core piece — the white shirt“. Visit my Facebook Page for the entire collection. Just a piece of advise, take notes on what you want and shop smart! Don’t get caught in the frenzy.
Raquel Zimmermann makes Uniqlo +J collection looks super sleek.

Ooh, this is sooo major! My Fash-Icon, Alexa Chung is coming to Singapore to DJ for the Mulberry Autumn/Winter 2010 launch party at Tanjong Beach Club. In case you’re living in Jupiter, Alexa Chung inspired ‘the’ Mulberry Alexa bag. Yes, the “IT” bag of 2009 that sells faster than wonderbras – even I couldn’t get my hands on them in London! Fash-Eccentric is invited and meeting Alexa Chung *happy dance* What to wear? What to wear? The dress code is Naughty Royalty. Hint: Think “Valley of the Dolls”. Or take inspiration from the latest Mulberry Autumn/Winter 2010 ad campaign featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw & Hanne Gaby Odiele photographed by Steven Meisel. See below for their latest campaign:

You don’t always have to wait for spring to wear florals. Ralph Lauren Collection Fall 2010 brings back the floral fantasy with a hint of velvet and (not a personal favourite) tweed. Surprisingly, I am completely sold on the tailored tweeds. The silhouette is sharp and modern. The tailoring is impeccable and luxurious. Most importantly, it doesn’t look gaudy. Velvet is a tricky fabric to play with. You might potentially look like a crazy ringmaster – of course, Ralph Lauren made it work with rich jewel tones such as moss, garnet and amethyst.
“This Fall, I’m inspired by a woman who has a bohemian spirit. She’s a romantic at heart – bold and artistic, with a beauty that is timeless, enduring and always personal” – Ralph Lauren
The final look of Ralph Lauren Collection Fall 2010 - one of my favourites.

Say hello to ‘avant-garde’! The show-stopping Swedish fashion label Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair has arrived in Singapore. The first standalone boutique out of Sweden will be located at Hilton Shopping Gallery this coming August. Heavily influenced by the British and Japanese, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair will blow your socks off with its progressive volumes, awkward shapes, beautiful drapes and sharp structures. I just wonder if the Singapore fashionistas are experimental enough to inject extreme quirks into their wardrobe? What do you think?
I wish my tummy troubles are gone. I should be partying a storm right now at an exclusive preview of Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair A/W 2010 collection at the opening of Belvedere BEAT 2010. Sigh. Is anyone going tonight? *miserable me*
I can’t wait to see Singaporeans wearing this in town!

This is what happens when Sneakers meet Christian Louboutin. The shoe genius hit the right spot with the Venus Orlato 140 ankle boots collection for Louboutin‘s Fall/Winter 2010. Inspired by the disco era of Studio 54, you gotta love Louboutin‘s first-ever sneaker collection made from luxurious roccia python to leopard print and shiny metal. I checked out the collection myself at the Christian Louboutin’s flagship store at Ngee Ann City – and I’m lovin’ the 5.5. inch booties!
Time to boogie – 70s style!

For the longest time, I never knew the reasoning behind haute couture (French for ‘high fashion’). Are the high costs and man-hours really worth it? The answer is YES. The idea of couture is to inspire. Who? Fashion designers. Fashionistas. The regular Jane who shops at Target. These high art, fashion installations are created to blow our minds and remind us that we can always dream of high fashion. Couture also helps designers to sell their Ready-To-Wear collection. It creates a vision for the design house. As for myself, I become a fan of what the design house if capable of. Best of all, I know exquisitely and beautifully made “dreams” do exists. Here are some of my favourites from Fall Couture 2010:

This is what couture is all about. Magnificent!

A month ago, I attended the preview of Bottega Veneta‘s “The Knot: A Retrospective” exhibition at its ION Orchard store in Singapore on May 11. This exclusive, globe-trotting exhibition was held from May 13 – 16 (sorry, it’s over people!) that featured over 50 iconic Knot bags from the 80s to the current season. If you’ve followed me on Facebook, you would have seen exclusive iPhone (we weren’t allowed to take pictures, but I got permission to use my iPhone!) photos of the beetle-inspired Knot clutches from the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Some of the vintage clutches from the 80s and 90s are pre-Tomas Maier – notice the clasp not the knot. This exhibition has been traveling around the world since its debut Milan on April 17. It was quite a spectacle for myself to feast my eyes and touch the beautiful Knot clutches. One day, you’ll be mineee…
I heart the Bottega Veneta Nero Galuchat Knot made from stingray leather. Gorgeous!
Did you know Bottega Veneta celebrated its 30th anniversary this year?

To be honest, I was dying of boredom in-between shows – but I’m glad I lasted till the last show of the night, KTZ Fall/Winter 2010. The minute I walked into the reception, I spotted super fashion blogger, Bryanboy and *gasps* Henry Holland! This show definitely beat Raoul in terms of star power – celebrities were pouring in nonstop! My boredom disappeared instantly. Better still, I had a great time catching up and drinking so much passionista cocktail. Ahh, and it’s only Day Two. Check out my photos of Henry Holland, Dr Georgia Lee and Karen Ng 
Yours truly and you-know-who Bryanboy.
His mixed-leather bag from Malaysia. Stingray, Snake… gosh, you-name-it!
