You’ve gotta admit it. Video blogging seems to be the “IN” thing nowadays. The Youtube phenomenon might seem so ‘yesterday’ but fashion bloggers are taking their blogging skills to the next level - DIY videos uploaded on the web. You can not only read, look at outfit photos but watch your favourite bloggers talk to you “face-to-face”. I think it’s awesome that you get to see, hear bloggers ‘live’ in action - and yes, we wanna hear your accent! Here are some videos that Fash-E spotted in the fashion cyberspace:

Bryanboy’s Faggotry in Motion series is one of my favourites. This is a video of his Style: Magazine photoshoot in Singapore. Picture may speak a thousand words, but video says more!

Susie Bubble of Style Bubble reviewed Buck magazine with her boyfriend. Really cute video! You should really check this out. Well-executed as well. The english accent’s so sexy.

Camille from Childhood Flames uploaded this interesting tutorial on how to make your own shredded tee. Rumi from Fashion Toast even modeled a shredded tee she made based on this tutorial! I’ve yet to try it.

Models are also making their mark on Youtube. Chanel Iman made five short clips for Chanel Iman TV to give you a glimpse of her modeling life. In this video, she does a little makeover for her mum. Watch!

Back to the lil’ red dot, our local fash-blogger, Nicole from Cherry Magazine has her own series of Cherry Magazine TV. She’s so cute! I like her enthusiasm and effort in putting together her own photoshoot, videos and all. Bravo!

So, am I starting a Fash-Eccentric TV? Watch this space.

I was amazed when I saw this new b+ab SS08 ads at Style Bubble. These fabulous fruity tutty ads are the brainchild of Japanese pop artist, Nagi Noda. I’ve never been or seen b+ab’s collection in Hong Kong, but maybe I’ll go check them out in July. If you’ve never heard of them (like me), it’s a “Hong Kong fashion brand label launched in 1995 offering high-end ladies’ fashion quality with a mass market approach (that) is mainly inspired by Japanese young women’s chic and trendy styles, provides a variety of fashionable outfits”. You get the picture. Check out the ads & backstage photos:

Fashion goes in cycles. Right now, every label is collaborating with everyone, well almost everyone. I know I just blogged about H&M’s Tribute to Marimekko yesterday. Plueys Singapore tipped us on the Alexander Wang’s much-anticipated collaboration with UNIQLO which is scheduled to hit stores end of May. The famed Japanese retail chain, UNIQLO is dubbed as the “Japanese-version of Gap“. However, I definitely like it better than Gap.

Alexander Wang is rocking the neutral colours with colour blocks of Grey, White and Black (which I absolutely love!) for his 8-piece collection. I guess monochrome colours are hot this season - and clean lines, and silhouette. This one is prolly my favourite of the three images that surfaced on the WWW (who can keep a secret these days? or is it intentionally leaked out?). I like the two-tone, on each half of the dress and the colour blocks for the neckline. Minimalistic at its best.

I got these photos from Susie Bubble. This dress is flirty in neutral palettes - I guess it’s the flip side of the world when constrasted with H&M’s Tribute to Marimekko collection. It’s definitely chic and flattering for the body.

I can picture a stampede at the UK store, and possibly everywhere else. It’s a pity there’s no UNIQLO store in Singapore or Malaysia by the time Alexander Wang’s collection hit the stores. On the brighter side, UNIQLO will debut in Singapore by August 2009 as reported by Channel News Asia resulting from a joint venture between Wing Tai Holdings & Fast Retailing. Awesome!

Did I mention that I’m going to HK? Hee.
