FIRST LOOK 2 GALA SHOW : BY JILL

BY JILL今年的系列多了很多,但與原本告訴我們的靈感原素好像有點偏離。今季的主題在藍色、麻質布料和碎花設計上,很是Jill想像的風格和感覺。而BY JILL的重點則放在了本季的頭飾上。

Well we were led to expect a collection full of optical patterns from BY JILL, yet what was delivered veered violently off that tangent. It looks like inspiration struck at an 11th hour, as the actual collection that hit the runway was a 40’s looking gal inspired by her own tastes. A blue palette dominated the 13 looks paraded down the runway with linen, sheers, and ragged cotton patchwork decoratifs. Floral lace could be seen to excess on near all pieces and an emphasis for BY JILL was placed on head wear this season.

FIRST LOOK 2 GALA SHOW : MAHKA SHOP SELECTS

上環有一間很特別、有點女性味道又有點型格的選物店叫MAHKA。除了MAHKA自已的in-house品牌外還有一個做lace dress的BOAIME和Cashew,還有一個首飾品牌La Fiancee du Facteur。BOAIME 和 Cashew都是來自越南的,很高興MAHKA把她們帶到香港來了。Mahka的男裝品牌也獨家展示了從T-Shirts到更多剪裁和縫製美學和大膽使用印花的設計。 隨著MAHKA的不斷發展,請繼續注意她們!

MAHKA the active select shop in Sheung Wan presented a stylish, feminine grouping of the various brands they carry at present. Mixing perfectly with their own namesake brand were the lace dresses of BOAIME, and Cashew, and the accessories of La Fiancee du Facteur. BOAIME and Cashew are both Vietnamese brands with extensive dress collections, and it was nice to see them present a more delicate selection on the FIRST LOOK 2 runway. Colorful and light the women’s pieces were stunning on the models and clearly flattered the figure. The menswear pieces by Mahka exclusively also showed their label growth from t-shirts to a more cut and sew aesthetic and bold use of print. Pay attention as MAHKA continues to grow!

FIRST LOOK 2 GALA SHOW : LUKE CHAN

很高興看到我們的香港設計師LUKE CHAN的系列繼續發展和成熟。這是LUKE CHAN第二次在FIRST LOOK 中展示最新系列,繼續從愛德華時代的英國尋找靈感。他的FW18系列使用了非常平坦的色調,在仔細檢查後非常有趣。你可以看到系列都是英國人低調的陰沉灰色,以及令人驚訝的軍事綠色。當中特別欣賞這個季系列中微妙的運動裝主題。加油吧!

Great to see Hong Kong designer Luke Chan’s collection continue to grow and mature. Presenting for the second straight season with FIRST LOOK, Luke continues to find inspiration from Edwardian England. For his FW18 collection, he used a very flat color tone which was very interesting upon closer inspection. British overcast greys made for all over looks, as well a surprising military green that may have almost gone unnoticed by those in attendance. Accessories were also prominent from flat point shoes, to a large brimmed hat for the final exit look. Particularly appreciated the subtle sportswear theme incorporated into this season’s collection. Looks 6 and 8 were the ones for me! Onwards and upwards Luke Chan.
