FASHION SHOWCASE : GUIDO. A PETTY CROOK PT. 2

…If fortune favors the bold then Guido’s satorial senses brought him a few opportunities. Opportunities which he promptly messed up. A hustle involving importing fakes and flipping them for a pretty penny would be his eventual downfall. Not know for patience, Guido skimmed profits off the top and spent lavishly on the high life. Living beyond his means, thinking he was untouchable, the lesson, when it came was a hard knock one. One that Guido did not survive. Of 6 million stories, a tragic tale from SPITGAN Magazine.

FASHION SHOWCASE : GUIDO. A PETTY CROOK PT. 1

Guido. A petty crook from Fort Lauderdale. A misguided admirer of local mafiosos, he fashions himself after larger-than-life TV characters. Guido spends more time in front of the TV dreaming of ‘that Life’, than learning the rules of the streets and crafts of the trade. Never developing the work ethic or the favor of luck to realize his goals, Guido, a petty schemer, only has the taste to look the part. If fortune favors the bold then…

POLY U FASHION SHOW 2018 PART 2

< —-從第一部分繼續

然後我一定要講下我最喜歡的一個系列,因為太可惜了!她得不到總冠軍呢!這就是一個綠色為主,幾層紗布layer的作品。我最記得當她的第一件綠色連身裙走出來時,我就覺得有陣Phoebe Philo的簡約味。誰知一個轉身,後面拖地的「椰菜花」卻讓整個感覺變成Rick Owens 了。我喜歡她的主要原因是平衝。她能平衡到誇張和令人舒服的視覺感受。有些人設計得很複雜美艷,但你總會謝絕這些東西進入你的衣櫥。她的設計暗中告訴著她是個狂人,這平衡好的瘋狂很叫人著迷。

又一年過去,時裝界又添一班新血。最後只有一個願望:希望他們最後會做設計吧…

POLY U FASHION SHOW 2018 PART 1

多年前在銅鑼灣Fashion Walk看過別人一對冒著腳汗氣的透明塑膠Jeffrey Campbell,那幕至今依然歷歷在目。所以本身我就對塑膠材質的走紅大感不惑,一不透風,二是不易處理。一不小心就像個垃圾膠袋似的。恰巧昨日POLY U FASHION SHOW就像個膠之盛宴一樣,雖然我對膠有著厭惡至極的抗拒,但一兩個以膠面料糊化設計的系列我還是有在留意的。我必須說POLY U的學生們對潮流是在著很強的觸覺。

以一個活像仙子的系列作開頭很是吸引,金銀色的系列絕不俗氣。輕盈卻立體的紗布讓每件設計充滿柔弱強勢的互相交流。銀色原本容易使皮膚白的人更顯蒼白,但設計中,上身的誇張立體泡泡可以將目光吸引過去。最後大家便只會記得開場的幾位仙子們。

FIRST LOOK 2 : POLY U MASTERS X ESTONIA ACADEMY ECO-COLLECTION

FIRST LOOK 2 FASHION WEEK 6天活動的最後一幕是香港理工大學製衣及紡織學系(MA)同學和愛沙尼亞設計學院的合作項目作結。這是一個狀觀、令人驚訝的系列,宏偉的創意系列全部由中國木製風扇構成。我可以說這些作品的相片不足以震驚你們,等著我們的影片吧!他看起來像一些大鳥、孔雀…你想不到的是他們都很容易穿著和移動。為香港未來的創意人材歡呼吧!

The grand finale for the FIRST LOOK 2 Gala Show was reserved for the spectacular collection of the Poly U Masters Program X The Estonia Academy. The fruits of labor from an exchange program earlier in the year, this magnificent creative collection was constructed all with Chinese wooden fans. What made it more excptional were that many of the creations were functional. In a way, 2D photos don’t do these pieces justice so you will have to wait for the show video. A personal favorite was the finale finale piece that looked like some magnificent bird or peacock. It moved well and was surprisingly robust for all its bulk! More of this Hong Kong. Cheers to HK’s future. It looks like it’s in good hands!
