Kill b*lmainians!

Fashion trivia? 5secs and connect these runway looks with correct timeline?
(no no flipping GapPress or styledotcom is not allow!)
5... ...4... ...3... ...2... ...1... ...!
Admit that THEY LOOKED EXACTLY THE SAME - the sharp shoulder, the embellishment and the skinny bottoms. The truth is, i pick these looks from ss09, up to fw10, total of 4 seasons.
See what i mean, they reproduced the best seller, with a slight modification.
Overhyped and overpriced, what is exactly the value of a padded jacket or a Crystallized chiffon frock?

I hope Decarnin got something else with him besides than all these 80s-club-haute-prostitute bits). Success and fame make one stay still in their comfort zone, and lost that shines in the end. Well, if you got ur talent and u always can strikes back, RM by Roland Mouret and Rue Du Mail by Martine Sitbon were among the tough survivors.

NOW slowly drop those shoulder-pads and give'em bac to ur mama/grandma, put on an overcoat that show ur tiny smooth slinky shoulder, just remember that they are as cute as ur tiny boobs.

I actually miss Monsieur Pierre Balmain, or Mr. Oscar De La Renta... ...

Art & Craft

It's a therapy, sometimes.
It brings out the 'Diana/Gaga/Faye/Knowles/Watever' in you, occasionally
It leads you to glimpse of fame, and scares man away
It's a piece of art, always.

Fetish

I never really quite like leather, it's not something i familiar with even as a designer or consumer. With a average temperature of 27°C, dress in leather will definitely make u go hell.

(Sorry, not to mention those mat rempits in cheap greesy pvc jackets here)

I changed my mind, after Fall 2010. From grand couturier Valentino to alternative Sharon Wauchob, they open up my eyes with unexpected possibilities of interpreting the 'skin'.

Leather now, used as a trim (at Celine)-built as tiers of ruffles (at Graeme Armour)-or even a leather crochet-look like materiel at Haider Ackermann.

WELCOME leather to my world!

Identity v.s style

I started this like 3 or 4yrs ago, (yes, right before givenchy homme) and recently i saw this in a local fashion label's spring 2010 catalogue.

i guess it's better to stick to who you are, and never

try too hard to 'style' urself like wat the magazine editorials did

We need different styles and looks in the fashion scenes,

so i began to appreciate topm*n hipsters or topsh*p vintage sluts

they said, CAMEL is the new black...

Now you can leave those blacks behind, at least for this fall 10.

Grab a piece of......there is no limitations at all! (just refer to those runway looks)

Finally, accessorized yourself in a small amount of red (gloves or heels, or just paint ur lips)

(well, it's more a personal preference, or tips)

Hakaan Yildrim Fall 2010

One of my best pick from Fall 2010, somehow let's hope for less "Preen-ness" next season
