AALTO FW18 MAKEUP

日本的藝妓要把臉塗白是為了襯托出她們色彩強烈的服裝,同時也讓她們的臉能反映燭光的光線。那今季AALTO的白臉是為了什麼,可能就要我們自已想想了。

BEAUTY : ZADIG & VOLTAIRE HAIR SS18

Zadig & Voltaire many an effort has been spared to promote you in HK. Finally you reward those efforts with a stylish collection fulfilling promise. Your models, guys and gals, had a special formula of Malibu sea water rubbed into their hair by Bali tribeswomen to create this effortless, surf look. I know.


BEAUTY : PHILIPP PLEIN MAKEUP SS18

80’s bad girls are back in full trash! Double eyeliner and fantasy eyeshadow at Philipp Plein SS18.

今季Philipp Plein 成為熱話,比起本身的衣服設計,從第一行的vip、表演和場地陣容都震撼不少人。今日先看看他們當日的化妝和髮型吧,同樣別出心裁,好像80年代的壞女孩一樣。不過這個雙眼線的妝我覺得比較適會亞洲人,如果是雙眼皮的話可能會變得浮腫。單眼皮的你可以一試。

FIRST LOOK 2 : YEUNG CHIN FASHION PRESENTATION

我們終於能夠與我們的朋友,香港設計師YC楊展合作了!他用了一個怪異的電影作為靈感設計了這一場時裝表演。這是一個我們不太熟悉的風格,他向我們介紹了這個日本導演Shije Terayama。無論如何那天我們將PMQ反轉了:那個細小的房間中我們阻擋了所有光源,令視覺上的一切都是強烈的顏色和黑暗的互相糾纏。包括一個Shibari表演也是在這令人不安的黑暗中發生的。當中似乎有個「話事人」,所以人都要跟隨他的指示。但「話事人」後面還有一個「話事人」…當中12個模特兒有的被人騷擾著、有的裸體。房中很侷促,應該是個人人都想離開的地方但觀眾卻不停地進入了解這看來變態的表演(還有人帶小朋友…)。這就是我們最想看到的畫面,震驚著來PMQ的你,開放的去欣賞我們的創意。

Yes we were finally able to collaborate with our friend and HK designer, Yeung Chin. And what a collaboration it was! A short, bizarre movie was the inspiration behind the show. YC introduced me to a Japanese director, Shije Terayama, who’s work I was not familiar with. It was a surreal piece, at turns erotic, and just plain bugged out. Visually it was heavily color gelled, and we took those 2 pieces as starting points. Well 3, surreal, erotic, and colorful. What manifested was a performance piece the likes of which PMQ had never seen! It included wild characters, and a Shibari performance, all in a dark, yet colorful room that barely fit the performers! It was hot, crammed, and a challenge for the audience. Just the way we wanted it! Really enjoyed the fact that fashion stereotypes were challenged. Specifically body forms and traditional concepts of beauty. Also, it was a pleasant surprise to see an audience from all walks of life, nationality, and age, be open-minded and appreciative of the piece! Onwards and upwards YC!

GUO PEI FW17 HAUTE COUTURE WOMEN’S WEAR

我會說今季郭培是聰明的。

從Rihanna開始,中國高定時裝的聚光燈便一直在郭培身上。她的一切一切都被人強烈地討論中。於是上季她又做了一個讓人印象深刻的系列。但創意真的無窮無盡?從一開始這位中國設計師的評語便很極端,好壞參半。但在高定的舞台上,創意和技術同樣重要。因此今季她便直接專注於高級時裝本身的傳奇 – 美麗。通過新的、有高度光澤和閃耀的布料,用上最能顯示女性身材和味道的簡單和基本剪裁,打造出一個美麗、漂亮的系列。不明白為什麼我會說她聰明?想想有多少時裝品牌會一直做出讓你驚訝的創意?前幾季你或者對Gucci表示驚歎,但到今日你已經未必再有動力點開他們的最新相片了。從來一個品牌能屹立不倒的最大理由就是技術。因此郭培今季集中以技術為主題的話,一來可以讓她有更多時間擴展她的新想法,二來強調自已的穩打穩紮的技術。可以說是一舉兩得。
