For the longest time, I wondered… “what the heck is mio TV?”

It’s basically an “innovative digital pay TV service… that offers customers value and full flexibility to watch what they want, when they want”. Right now, SingTel’s mio TV “offers a total of 47 channels from a wide range of genres as well as Singapore’s largest range of video-on-demand titles and High Definition content”. Nice. Now, Starhub Cable TV has meet its match.

Besides, it caught my attention because mio TV “will be bringing the fashionistas of Singapore a vast selection of the best fashion and style themed programmes from around the world right in the comfort of their homes” Hurrah! Finally… we’re getting more awesome channels other than Fashion TV and E! Entertainment for fashion news and celebrity scoops. So what’s in-store for us

Unfortunately, Cashmere Mafia won’t be continuing for the second season (unlike Lipstick Jungle!) but who cares? We want to see the gorgeous clothes worn by Lucy Liu and gang.

Cashmere Mafia: Hot or Not?

They call it the next ‘Sex and the City‘. ABC hailed it as “a thinking woman’s Sex and The City mixed with the wit of The Devil Wears Prada.” Cashmere Mafia is starting to impress me with its wicked fashion and its recipe for “revenge” (in short, cheaters are sore losers). Its target market are professional women with high spending power, and of course “power” in general - you’ll be expecting to see tons of designer wear throughout the season. With Patricia Field on the job, you’ll be getting your fashion fix every Sunday. Hot or not? You decide. Here are some key looks that I personally dig:

Lucy Liu's Skirt Rocks!

 

In Ep 01, Mia (played by Lucy Liu) kicks start the series premiere in this cute leopard/flower power print skirt with a black waisted belt. Before accepting a marriage proposal, make sure you look fabulous at all times.

Lucy Liu in Episode 02

In Ep 02, the newly empowered… and single Mia plays politics in this stunning green dress with faux fur. The colour definitely compliments her exotic good looks, and those earrings! Nice.

Juliet on the roll!

This is a simple look, but very elegantly put together. Juliet (played by Miranda Otto) is on her cell and on the way to work. As you can see, the staple workwear accessory is not the cellphone, but - the signature waisted belt to create the illusion of an hour-glass figure.

Revenge is sweet

As you can see, I am featuring two of my favourite characters, Juliet and Mia. Juliet reminded me of Bree from Desperate Housewives. What happens when you find out about your cheating husband? Go for a makeover, look fabulous and cheat back! (I’m not taking credit for this).

Best friends

To celebrate the newly engaged (not!) couple, the best friends toast to ‘everlasting love’ for the happy couple. I particularly like Zoe’s (played by Frances O’Connor, left) black/white sweetheart cocktail dress. Very tuxedo-inspired.

So far, the looks have been very clean, and sophisticated. I look forward to future episodes and spot more original ‘Cashmere Mafia‘ looks. I foresee in near future, we’ll be chanting ‘Mia Mason’ more frequently than ‘Carrie Bradshaw’.
