Happy Halloween!

(tfs)

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates. Have been occupied with other things the past week. Will get back to blogging soon! In the meantime, it's time to play dress-up again! Happy Halloween!

Leather/Studs/Chains/Knit

Love the styling of this look - Loose Knit T-shirt worn as headpiece.

From Runway To Street 003

Rick Owens Hi-Top Sneakers from Spring 2010 RTW.

When presented on the runway, the shoes were worn without the shoelaces. The guy on the right incorporated the shoelaces and a whole new look is created. Loving the whole slouchy look as well.

Rick Owens does some really fabulous shoes (his clothes are amazing as well). Really loving his boots and Hi-Tops for both men and women.

Josh Hartnett & Lee Byung-hun for Vogue Korea

(Vogue Korea)

Josh Hartnett & Lee Byung-hun are the coverboys for the November issue of Vogue Korea. Hartnett and Lee are both well-known actors with wide legion of fans in both America and Korea respectively. Together with Japanese megastar Takuya Kimura and Hong Kong's Shawn Yue, the foursome star in the movie 'I Come With The Rain'. Check out the trailer here. Kinda confusing storyline if you ask me. But should be worth it to see four great actors collaborating on a movie together. I would watch it for Hartnett and Kimura. Haha. 

An Alternative To Real Feathers?

(Style from Tokyo)

This whole back-to-the-80's shoulder pad trend has been running for quite awhile now. Seems like the guys are trying to get into some shoulder pad action as well. Initially when I saw this image, I thought his top had some sort of interesting shoulder detailing. Then when I zoomed in for a closer look, I was pretty surprised to see that those 'shoulder details' were actually shuttlecocks! Yeah, those little shuttlecocks you use to play badminton with. Pretty hilarious huh? I'm thinking it's a D-I-Y? Or if it turns out to be the work of a designer, he/she was probably thinking of using the shape and texture of the shuttlecock to create some sort of a 3D piece. I mean, it IS made out of feathers after all.

Bringing eco-fashion to another level, Alex Dunstan wears recycled takeaway boxes, drink cans & sweet wrappers mixed with designer fashion.

The Accessories

Notice how these two guys accessorize almost they same way yet have totally different looks? Both wears fedoras, sunglasses, scarves and necklaces but of differing colour schemes and designs. The guy on the left, I would think is going more for the edgy rock look. Notice how he attached a dramatic spiked cuff on the shoulder straps of his bag while wearing a subtle thinner version on his wrist. As for the guy on the right, you can immediately tell he's very much into colour. From the bright coloured rims of his sunnies, to his printed scarf and the camera necklace, which I LOVE btw, he's definitely embracing colours. Which look do you prefer?

Remember the editorial on infusing red into monochrome ensembles? Charles Guislain, a rising fashion muse shows just that here.

Something Random

(Wayne Tippets Photography)

Ok, this is really random. When I saw this photo, I took a second look coz I was wondering if the 'thing' in his right ear was a cigarette and how convenient it was for him to hold his cigarette IN his ear instead of on top of the ear (like how you put a pencil above the ear? same thing). But on closer inspection, I think it might just be an ear stud. Actually, I think I did a second take coz I was reminded of how my lecturer at school once put a whiteboard marker through his earhole (they were l-a-r-g-e, say about the size of a 20cent coin? maybe slightly bigger). It was a pretty amusing sight I must say.

Alex Dunstan

(Vanessa Jackman)

I forgot to post this up previously (this image was from awhile back). Actually, I wanted to post it mainly coz he's kinda cute don't you think? I think the hair helped a bit too (actually, make that aLOT bit..haha). If you're interested, he's Alex Dunstan from Select Models.

Go Red

Paint It Red

Model: Nicolai Haugaard

Photographer: Tokumaru Junichiro / Stylist: Marutani Naofumi

This editorial shows how you can infuse some red in monochrome ensembles and immediately brighten up your whole look. If red bottoms are too much, go for jackets or even scarves in red instead. It'll definitely make people take notice of you in a second. Try it!

Seeing alot of black & white shots lately. Hedi Slimane does really nice black/white photography shots. Check out his visual diary here. And, Pattinson is oozing much James Dean-ish vibes here. Erm, like always?
