Continuing with the designer interviews, it is very impressive to hear that they also have a social conscious! From one of our favorite collections, Ms. Jasmine Leung, fashion designer, states, “During these 4 years of study in BA fashion, I realized how damaging fashion and garment-making is to the world. We, as the new generation of fashion creators, need to take action to make a change. Designing a sustainable fashion collection and eventually establishing a sustainable fashion brand are my goals.” 

Read Part 3, of inspirations, fashion designer favorites, and future plans! A heady mix of, ‘the simple life’, Zero Waste, love bonds, and America sports references.

繼續進行設計師訪談,設計師對社會問題的意識令人意想不到! 其中一個我們最喜歡的系列設計師Jasmine Leung說:「在BA時尚的這四年研究中,我意識到時裝和製衣業對環境多麼有害。我們作為新一代時裝創造者需要採取行動作出改變。設計可持續發展的時裝系列並最終建立可持續發展的時尚品牌是我的目標。」

Guan Yong Yi, Key // ‘Escaping’ Collection

SP : The design piece in the picture . Can you pls describe it. Your inspiration for this piece and the materials used. // 你可以說一下這相中作品嗎?你的主題、靈感和用上的物料等。
Key : My theme is ‘Escaping’, which means escaping from the reality and dream, trying to break the rules. I used  blue and orange as my main colors. Blue and orange represent the cruel world, and the passion of our dreams respectively. The black color is the dust of world. 90% of the outfits are made by wool and polyester yarns. The knitting makes use of the technique, stroll and trill relief.

我的主題是’逃避’,這意味著逃避現實和夢想,試圖打破規則。然後我用藍色和橙色作為主色。藍色和橙色分別代表殘酷的世界和我們夢想的熱情。黑色作為世界的塵埃。整個裝備的90%由羊毛和滌綸紗線製成。漫步和顫音浮雕使用的針織。

SP : Your favorite Fashion Designer. // 最喜歡的設計師是?
Key : My favorite fashion designer is Thom Browne. His design style has its own strong personality. I really appreciate his designs, which are very inspiring and a signature all his own.

我最喜歡的時裝設計師是Thom Browne,他的設計風格有他自己強烈的個性。我非常欣賞他的設計系列,這是非常鼓舞人心和標誌性的。

SP : What’s next for you?
Key : Being a fashion designer is the next step of my journey. After joining the Lenzing workshop, and Australia Merino wool trip, I am interested in knitwear now. I would like to expand my job’s scope, to include menswear and knitwear.

成為時裝設計師是我旅程的下一步。在加入Lenzing工作室和澳大利亞美利奴羊毛之旅後,我現在對針織品很感興趣。所以我想擴大我的工作品種,包括男裝和針織品。

2. Law Wing Suen, Kimmy // ‘The War At Home’ Collection

SP : The design piece in the picture . Can you pls describe it. Your inspiration for this piece and the materials used. // 你可以說一下這相中作品嗎?你的主題、靈感和用上的物料等。
Kimmy : This design is an attempt to give life to one of the darkest aspects of our society by portraying the cold, violent, and unachievable expectations of abusive homes.

The main material is organza and silk. It shows a slow and cold impression, like living under cold violence.

Slow materials combined with the borderless water-soluble sewing pattern. This reflects children living under pressure.

這種設計嘗試通過描繪對虐待性家園的冷漠,暴力和無法實現的期望,為社會最黑暗的方面之一賦予生命。

主要材料是透明硬紗和絲綢。它表現出一種緩慢而冷酷的印象,就像生活在寒冷的暴力之下一樣。

緩慢的材料與無序的水溶性縫紉圖案相結合。 它反映了生活在壓力下的兒童。

SP : Your favorite Fashion Designer. // 最喜歡的設計師是?
Kimmy : Craig Green is my favorite fashion designer. His design is simple, but each garment and collection has a strong personal signature. Also, his collections use a creative display style and expressions in different media.

Craig Green是我最喜歡的時裝設計師。 他的設計很簡單,但每件服裝和系列都有自己的特色。此外,他的系列採用創意展示風格在不同媒體中展示。

SP : What’s next for you? // 接下來有什麼計劃?
Kimmy : My future plan for the moment is to continue my learning career.

我現在的未來計劃是繼續我的學習生涯。

A.F. VANDEVORST SS19

An homage to wedding dressing, A.F. Vandevorst’s SS19 offering was a memorable offering. Personally most taken with the use of multiple lace applications on certain pieces. Upon further research, A.F. Vandevorst’s runway centered around, “ten unique pieces extracted from vintage wedding dresses and tuxedos in an array of ivory and white. Some contrasted with razor black. For the new generation: this collection of wedding couture is repurposed, repositioned, reassembled.” (A.F. Vandevorst)

Thoroughly modern with surprising street elements like bicycle shorts and a stylish gimp/wrestling mask seen on various looks! Dope!

GIAMBATTISTA VALLI SS19 WOMENS

Yoko Ono was an inspiration for this beautiful collection? An album no less? Wow. All I heard from her is dissonant sounds. Noise. Yet here it is. Amazing details with a hippy influence. The bugged out eye accessories especially but also really dig the lacework. Keep on Giambattista!

BEST MEN’S HATS SS18 A-M

So we gonna go through the wide world of fashion and edit all into potent bite-sized chunks for ya’ll. Let’s set it off with the flyest of the fly in headgear for the SS18 season. We gonna split the brands down the middle of the alphabet cuz there’s so much heat going on. Let’s get too it!


SPITGAN fav, Astrid Andersen comes thru this season with these lace, pastel durags. It’s a unisex piece, and I thoroughly enjoy the spin on the signature Hip Hop item.


Loewe with this magical tie up head piece. I think it transports you to places of lore like the Shire and ish.


Is this just a piece of fabric on one’s head? From Kenzo’s Memento collection, I think its sculpted with far more intent than I want to give it credit for.
