[Channeling Lagerfeld at (X) S.M.L Annual Show 12/13]

The post title says it all...

So, on my last post, I told you about the event I attended last week, (X) S.M.L Annual Show 12/13. And here are the details of the outfit I wore that à la mode day ♥

I'm channeling my inner-rebellious-self with a hint of denim (inspired by Chanel Resort 2013 Collection) and a bit of Mr. Lagerfeld here and there.

The idea derived from this very 1st tweed jacket piece of mine, which I've been dying to wear...

Zara Tweed Jacket with Studded Opening (so in love with this ♥)

And this half-palm leather glove, which I've been dying to wear as well.

(M)Phosis Half-Palm Leather Glove

Tweed Jacket - Zara/Denim Shirt - Kimchi Blue/Lace Duster Long Cardigan - Sparkle&Fade/Leather Shorts - Eann 9.1/Strappy Heels - Marco/Half-palm Leather Glove - MPhosis/Watch - Swatch/Ring - Topshop/Neon Bracelet - H&M/Kelly Double Tour - Hermes/Spiked Bracelet - Accesoria Nerve/Chanel Mademoiselle Bowling Bag

I was wearing a Make Up Forever Rouge à Lèvres 203 lipstick

I'm so obsessed with Posh's side braid that I decided to incorporate it to my look, but since I'm no Ken Paves, this is how it turned out.

sporting all my DIYs bracelets: the green and the silver friendship bracelets, and the jade blings bracelet ♥
I kinda become addicted to this whole DIY thingy.

Ciao ♥

[(X) S.M.L Annual Show 12/13: "Tomorrow Land"]

Last Friday night, 2012/09/14, I had a (almost) great time attending (X) S.M.L Annual Show 12/13 "Tomorrow Land" at Fairgrounds, SCBD ♥ *thanks lovely Loren for the invitation*

Dun get me wrong, the show was fantastic. However, the evening would be perfect if I just remembered to bring my camera with me, which unfortunately I did not.
So, there I was, trying to savor every moment of the event with just my iPhone 4 5MP camera.

All dressed-up and queuing to get into the so-called Terminal (X) S.M.L departing for Tomorrow Land

The invitation / "passport"

Once inside the "gate"....

The friend that I dragged to accompany me to the show. Thanks, Andrew Lie!

(We accidentally matched in denim. Go denim!)

Tried my best to capture the à la mode moment of the crowd that evening...and here they are, enjoy! (do pardon the poor quality, iPhone 4's camera just dont work well with insufficient lighting)

The person queuing in front of me gave me an interesting detail to shoot. It's "Devil Wears Prada" in case you find it hard to read.

A fall-must-have: metallic ♥

It brings this elegant Lady Dior bag into a whole new level and most of all, suits the evening theme of futuristic Tomorrow Land very well.

It's not "hype" without Studs and Spikes

Thanks ♥
(Aww, the quality of a DSLR Camera)

And at 7PM-ish, the departure for flight XSML1209 was announced...and so the journey to Tomorrow Land began.

The collection was started with light hues which gradually getting darker towards the end the show.
Colors like white, khakis, and coral were seen dominating the opening pieces. A hint of light blue or minty green was also spotted complementing these earthy-tone pieces.

In the middle, the pieces started to give a bold and stronger vibe with the usage of darker shades such as purple and dark gray. And finally towards the finale pieces that were mostly dominated by black.

And one that have been (X) S.M.L signature style, which is its asymmetrical design that incorporates different cut of materials or colors, was also seen throughout the collection that evening.

There was this idea of wearing their jackets upside-down, which was proposed quite often during the presentation that I found it quite intriguing and prolly worth-a-try.

However, it was the heels and some of the flowy sheer finale pieces that captured my heart the most. Definitely gonna get them once they're available.

The details of the outfit I wore to this event will be up in my next post.

[Fifty Shades of (High) Fashion]

Cant help but pick up intimation of Fifty Shades (of Grey) while taking pleasure in seeing Jason Wu and BCBG Max Azria Spring/Summer 2013 Collections, which emit subversive and kink vibes.

The perverse vibes are wrapped up in the juxtaposition of provocative lace or sheer with ferocious leather that Wu and Azria structure in a such geometrical cut so that beautiful silhouettes can take form. The idea of not-revealing the revealing in these two collections makes them enticing to see and also titillating in some way.
And not to mention the use of alluring body harness that is a key tell-tale to a kinky fashion.
The vibes, yet, got muted in both collections, with the inclusion of delicate shades such as white, nude, and coral in the color palette.

Jason Wu has Lilian Bassman-inspired smokey floral prints incorporated into the kinky leather cutouts and body harnesses. Studded belt and crystal-studded shoes also make an appearance to complete the darker version of Wu's signature ladylike luxe.

"Kink meets Ethereal/Glamour"

Max Azria conveys his female fatale concept by balancing out the printed flowy lightweight fabrics with some sturdy accessories. Azria plays with body harnesses, which get the center-piece role, in variation of materials and shapes,to accentuate most of the looks throughout the collection. The regular pumps also got some make-over from Azria, who adds broad ankle cuffs in perforated fabric to reflect strong and futuristic feature.

Both Wu and Azria claims to have their inspirations spring from the maestro of fashion meets erotica black&white photography, Helmut Newton.

Or...does it ever occur to you that maybe it's just one of the marketing strategy to capture "more crowd" by basing their design on something most women nowadays has a very soft spot for?
Honestly, I found myself having this immediate fondness towards both of Wu and Azria collections in the first place despite of the details or the immaculate tailoring, prolly cos I can relate easily to their designs. (Plead guilty! totally a Fifty Shades fan, I am #raisehand)
Well, that's interesting. What say you? ♥

Well, anyhow, whether you read Fifty Shades Trilogy or just following its brouhaha, for the love of Christian Grey...here are some "shades" to channel your inner kink *tee-hee*
