Sex and the City Movie: London Premiere

This is the fashion movie of the year! The stylish quad walked down the red carpet at the London premiere of ‘Sex and the City: Movie’. Everybody is going to blog about this (well, almost everyone!). So is the movie a hit or a miss – I wouldn’t know until the film premieres in Singapore in the upcoming week. And, you’ll hear from Fash-E first.

Sarah Jessica Parker rocks the red carpet in a green tulle and feathery Alexander McQueen dress and “Fred Leighton diamonds with an amazing Phillip Treacy hat, complete with green roses and yellow butterflies”. It’s refreshing to see her play to her whimsical ‘Carrie Bradshaw’ alter-ego. SJP is never boring, I love it!

Cynthia Nixon does classy with this plunging black metallic Calvin Klein dress. It’s sophisticated and alluring. My friends and I were talking about our favourite SATC character – I think I have a little “Miranda” in me and of course, a fraction of “Samantha” and maybe “Carrie”.

Red is the colour of sexy. Kim Cattrall picks red as the colour of her night. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of this asymmetrical red dress by Vivienne Westwood. The silhouette is not visually appealing and the hair, oh… what happen. Sexy, is not the word to describe Kim’s choice.

Kristin Davis looks demure and stunning in this vintage red chiffon Guy Laroche Couture dress. I always admire anyone who dares to take the risk with a vintage number – especially when there is a fine line between looking classic, or looking old. For Kristin, she absolutely nailed the look!

Only 16 more days before SATC opens in Singapore! Are you exciteeeed? I’m receiving tons of emails for the SATC: Movie Contest. Maybe I should hire the parrot fortuneteller from Tekka Mall to pick the winners for me.

Who loves themed-parties? My friend, Janice is throwing a Masquerade 25th birthday bash at House @Dempsey on an undisclosed date (just in case there will be party crashers!). I haven’t been to a theme par-tay in awhiel thanks to my very boring life. So, here am I seeking inspiration for the fabulous party and I’m on the hunt for a dramatic mask. Yes, I’m all about drama!

This is Masquerade on the ‘cheap’. Just a simple strip of black veil across the eye - as inspired by Marie Antoinette. This simple ‘mask’ works due to the elaborate 18th century costume and electrified hairdo.

Our favourite Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf threw a Masquerade ball in which Nate came as the ‘Phantom’ and lil’ J is looking hot in her Venetian mask that compliments her golden locks. Hot inspiration, I need to watch that episode again.

Janice said her party is inspired by her favourite movie of all time, Phantom of the Opera. I’m sure the boys will turn up in their Phantom or Guy Fawkes masks. I’m excited to see the varieties that the guys will turn up with.

Talk about classy. Blue Moon is “a big centre of production of the traditional Venetian paper mache masks” located in Venice, Italy. I fell in love with the masks on their website - but of course, with excellent workmanship - it comes with a price. I am digging the idea of this Gattino mask that costs EUR$123.00! Must find a close alternative to this. Hmm.

You want drama? This Cignetta mask is going to absolutely eccentric, with its metal and Swaroswki crystals finishing.

This is quite similar to lil’ J’s mask called Catwoman. I love.

Maybe hand painted mask? I like the idea of it. What do you think?

After all my Speed Racer hype, I finally caught Speed Racer last night - and it was a mind-blowing experience! I don’t understand how it got such conflicting reviews but I guess this isn’t a movie for everyone. This is prolly the coolest ‘shot-on-green-screen‘ film since Sin City or 300.

Trixie has a distinct sense of style. She’s always seen in matching hair clips (see above, aren’t they cute!), lipstick and top or even shoes! Let’s do pink entirely, or red - depending on your mood. I was so smittened by her character that oozes with everything cute and quirky. And, don’t we love that bob?

Watch this music video of “Go Speed Racer Go” by Ali Dee and the Deekompressors.

I’m so hooked!

Trendspotting: Go Speed Racer!

Fan Girl alert! This summer is going to be crazzzyy. As you know, my first love is filmmaking/movies (that’s why I’m in the business) then it’s design (fashion, product, you name it). I’m a film buff, but not a snob - I dig summer blockbusters, especially comic adaptations, cartoon remakes whatever. I love the occasional obscure, indie films - but I can’t be watching depressing, f-up films all the time no?

Right now, I’m counting down the days to Wachowski Brothers’s SPEED RACER! OMG, the screenshots are amazing, and the trailer is freakin’ mind-blowing! I’ve been humming the song all week. I mean these guys revolutionize The Matrix in 1999. I tell you, the Wachowski Bros are back in business. I’m sooo lovin’ the styling for the film and the costumes are crazy - check it out:

Red gloves, anyone? I love Trixie’s (played by Christina Ricci) hair. It’s uber-chic. And the scarlett lips.

In the candy-coloured world, we love sparkly bits, hoop earrings and hot short-shorts.

1… 2… GO!

Ooh, don’t you dig Speed’s (played by Emile Hirsch) retro white racing jacket? Trixie’s hot pink tank top is so cute! Also, check out her interesting eye-makeup (although I’m not a beauty expert - I think it’s awesome).

I see pink everywhere. Pink headphones! Pink leather seats! Pink lips. Pink seat belts! Nice sunnies too.

I like the way they do Susan Sarandon’s hair. Bright colours is the key.

I love her sparkly top that matches her smile!

I heart Trixie. Christina Ricci is back, ladies and gentlemen!

Next up… How to dress ‘Speed Racer‘ style :)

Dance of the Dragon starring Fann Wong, Jang Hyuk and Jason Scott Lee, premiered last Wednesday at The Cathay. The good thing is that the slight drizzle didn’t dampen the star-studded red carpet event. Let’s see who’s looking good strutting down the red carpet:

Fann Wong looks lovely in a black toga dress with a big fastener on her left shoulder. Anyone knows who she’s wearing? I like her drop earrings as well.

Andrea de Cruz with her best accessory, err… man accessory - Pierre Png. Now who says she needs slimming pills? I’m not sure about her red and purple colour combi, but I think her shiny purple/green heels rock!

Love the red cropped jacket! Lose the belt!

Andrea Fonseka looks pretty in pink. And, love the green butterfly flats!

Hmm, I don’t like her head to toe ’satin’ look - I mean, top to clutch to bottom? I don’t even approve the sheer lacy thing she’s wearing - so aunty!

Rebecca Tan of Fashion Forward is lookin’ casual chic in a tank top, jeans and boots. Nice.

If you’re a Lulu Guinness fan, you’re going to love this. Timmy Woods is America’s answer to quirky designed accessories. As seen in the new Sex and the City Movie, Carrie Bradshaw is seen in this quintessential ‘Eiffel Tower’ clutch with crystals while snogging Mr. Big. OMG, the clutch is like the cutest ever! I kept hinting to my boy about the ‘birthday’ that’s coming very very soon. You can also purchase the non-crystal alternative from Nordstorm, which I personally think looks nicer than this one:

Yours truly is down with Mr. Sniffles. So, I decided to take a break from fashion blogging - at least for tonight.

I came across my friend, Shaun’s blog and his new short film - United Nonsense-land which made me laugh because it’s totally irrelevant and innovative. It’s prolly his best short film to-date. I know it’s not ‘fashion’ related but do check out the cool costumes and colourful characters (e.g. Georgette ‘Walkin’ Bush - get it?, Ghandi, Dr. M, The Chairman etc.) This short film debut in this year’s 21st Singapore International Film Festival and also Poetry Slam.

Here’s the synopsis: Harry fell in love with a girl called Singapore. She died. He then begins a journey through a place called United Nonsenseland. Now, enjoy the film:
