Pre Band-Aid
First day of New York Fashion Week, my feet were already sore from walking for a prolonged period of time in heels the night before so I had my heels in my bag and wore my boots to Lincoln Center. Before I was able to switch shoes, I was snapped by a few street style photographers and later on during the day, I fell face flat at the CVS pharmacy in these boots which I think was quite ironic. During the next few days, I either wore pants or a huge band aid.
Currently Loving : Topman Spring/Summer 2012 DB Suits
When I see an ensemble that is slimfitting, cut to hug the body contour or anything that wraps the silhouette of the body so perfectly, I will instantly fall for it. No question asked. To me that is a perfection without having to speak very loud. Figure-skimming outfit would always flatter anyone, yet alone make the viewing eyes to flutter towards you no doubt (without you knowing it, you'll make them drool too!).
And looking at these double-breasted suits from Topman for Spring/Summer 2012, I have nothing to say except to feel extremely excited to get my hands on them as well. Not only for their mod contemporary look, but its waist-gripping jacket is something to be talked about. It's hot, it's sexy, it's edgy, and it's utterly gonna make you the star in the room. Imagine wearing it to the boardroom meeting - your frenemies will straightaway seal the deal just by looking at you in it! An ultimate Mad Men meet Mod Men to the max.
I bet the price is very dear to the wallet coz being a Topman, I'd expect it's within the highstreet price range. Since I'm going back to London again next year (to seal some closure deal too!), I hope I could snatch some in their Oxford Circus store. Just wait and see who'll be the neo mod men then... ;)

Mentioning a db suit, oh man... I truly can't get enough of them. My current chambray db suit from Asos is my absolute victim at the moment, and almost being 'molested' so many times coz I love wearing it. Last August I did my shock tactic when I wore it to the closing ceremony of the event that I lead. I think somehow it became such an attention-grabber coz it looks like everyone wanna get their photo taken with me. (ayat perasan *sila lempang di sini* mwahahaha!) Hmmm... konpius plak gua!

Different Designer, Similar Vibes : Carlos Campos vs. Dior Homme
You think the world of fashion design is really big? Nah, I don't think so. People in that industry may call it fashion universe, but the inhabitants are not that many unfortunately. They might be roaming around like a creepy crawlers but somehow, somewhere, at certain instances some designer might be 'inspired' (the good word for imitate) by other designers too; coz we understand that there could be a brain drain when it comes to producing collections for more than twice a year (if you are lucky!). Hence, by looking at what other people across the continents are doing, there could be a case of 'aha! I wanna do that too!' moment.
One good case of the inspiring-the-inspired is this one by Carlos Campos for Spring/Summer 2012. When I look at the pix with the asymmetric shirt, straight away my photographic memory think of Dior Homme that Kris Van Assche did in Spring/Summer 2011. The difference? The way the 'asymmetric front' and the sleeves are done. One is to the right, the other is to the left (to the left, to the left...sorry Beyonce, I copied your lyrics!). And one with proper short sleeves, another with cropped sleeve ala Master Shaolin. But with the look and all, through my eyes both have quite similar vibes.
Yet, whatever it is the shirts looks pretty cool since I like something that's quite different than any typical one (though I much prefer the Dior Homme coz it looks more high fashion than the other!)

Tory Burch Spring 2012
Emphasizing on special details, Tory Burch's first runway show was a huge success and a show not to be missed. With Arizona Muse opening the runway with dainty music playing in the background, I felt like I was watching a Parisian movie full of young, fun, classy ladies on vacation. My personal favorite was the raffia trim jacket with the matching bejeweled top with the absolutely adorable bow kitten heels. I loved every one of the shoes that the models wore and even though I have no patience for golf, if I had those golf shoes I might just have to start playing golf.
I was also lucky enough to attend the opening of her Madison Avenue store the day before the runway and was blown away with all the great details and decor. The store is filled with color and prints and feels like your in the most stylish woman's town house. It's quite hard to go from one room to another because you spend so much time taking in all the great decor in one room only to be blown away by the next room. The first carpet above was apparently inspired by Tory's mother's bathing suit! How awesome is that?
Definitely stop by her 797 Madison Store!
