陳奕迅不死要

昨天晚上我夢到陳奕迅死了，然後我整個人崩潰。我最喜歡的歌，是他唱的；我最喜歡的電影，是他主演的。如果有朝一日他真的猝然而逝，我想不止我，整個香港都會崩潰。這也許有一點誇張啦，但陳奕迅就是我們這一代的集體回憶，我們的而且確是聽他的歌長大，我們也見證著他出道走紅結婚生子，你話我痴線都好，我覺得我們都是陳奕迅的好朋友囉……哈哈哈哈。就算我們七老八十想當年時，背景音樂都一定是陳奕迅，你話我地係咪好friend呢？

他金曲獎的outfit，只可以用趣緻來形容。

賭神油頭。

禮服加紗裙。

吊腳褲加麥當勞叔叔對鞋。


絕呀！

It's here.

Some said the streets are the real place where all designers get their inspirations from. This explains a lot why The Sartorialist is so important and influential to the entire fashion world. When the other street fashion snapshots want so hard to capture the trend, the Sartorialist show us fashion can be so much more than hip, chic and trendy. I remember he said: "When I am in a neighborhood I'm not looking for the "next big trend" or a ground-breaking style statement, but just reacting when I see a person and thinking to myself "he/she looks nice."

His first book is coming and I'm sure this will definitely be an extension of his vision.

It comes out August 12th in the US, and worldwide by early September.

Why so serious?

Stella McCartney plays cute? Yes. She deliberately included the cartoon character Bambi (and a real Bambi behind) in her fall 09 ad campaign because she thinks "the clothes in the campaign are looking quite fierce, and we wanted to contrast them with the innocence of Bambi." Well, in my opinion, the clothes are fine, but I can't help but wonder: why the model looks so serious? (or puzzled? "why am I here with Bambi?")

Anna Sui's Gossip Girl Inspired Collection for Target

Remember two months ago when I covered the news that Anna Sui is designing a collection for Target, which is inspired by Gossip Girl . I still can recall my excitement about the collection...until I got to see some of the looks from the collection. To be honest, I'm really disappointed by what Anna Sui came up with.

If you told me that this is one of the "Anna Sui" collection, I would not be as much disappointed as I am now because I never expect too much from her. But if she said that out load this collection is inspired by Gossip Girl, I expect to see something modern and glamorous. Sadly, the collection is rather boring and ordinary as Anna Sui's perspective of a Gossip Girl seems to be very much different from me.

Anna Sui is like scratching an itch but only outside the boots. It feels like every look down there is missing something. Blair's are not sweet and elegant enough. Serena's should be more sexy and glamorous but I can barely see the neck from the looks. Jenny's are far far away from the word edgy. And I seriously think that Anna Sui hates Vanessa because those looks are terrible, see that color and pattern, they are like grandmothers. And I don't remember seeing any one of the Gossip Girls wearing a long top plus leggings but Anna Sui seems addicted to this idea. I'm not fancy about tights and leggings thing in each and every look.

Sorry Anna, I don't mean to be harsh but I think I really expected too much from this collection.

The Show must and will go on!

Couturier Christian Lacroix is not giving up on his Fall Couture Show on the coming July. Mr Lacroix filed for bankruptcy months ago, which broke our hearts, but he insists to put on the show on his own with helps of some generous friends and suppliers. I strongly believe that with the spirit like Mr Lacroix, his Couture show, though maybe smaller, will be as brilliant as usual. Let's keep anticipating for his great work!

Cameron Diaz for Vogue

Cameron Diaz 常演那些花瓶的角色令我覺得她這個人很乏味，她也不像 Drew Berrymore 那樣圓圓潤潤般討喜，而且她近幾年好像突然老了很…多，OK，反正重點就是她從來都得不到我的青睞 (誰要你的青睞呀？) 不過她最近為 Vogue 拍了一輯相，令我對她有點兒改觀，從前看到她都是在電影裡擠眉弄眼，卻從未看過她如此輕鬆自然。第一次，我覺得她真美。

Funny quote from Theyskens

Olivier Theyskens said this on the Met Gala after party.

"The parties tonight are great, but they don't compare to three days ago, when I sat by the Seine on my own and smoked cigarillos. It's my favorite thing in the world. I smoke this brand La Paz — they're cheap but it's what I always buy. And then, I peed into the Seine. It's the best thing I did all week. "

Oh...he's SO cute! I totally like him.

Anna Sui for Target is on the way

What an exciting new! Anna Sui is working on a collection for Target inspired by XOXO Gossip Girl. After its first designer collaboration with England genius Alexander McQueen came to a huge success, Target's second wave with Anna Sui is really worth anticipating. Although I never like Anna Sweeeeetheart's desgin, I admit that it IS a really clever move for her to pick Gossip Girl as the foundation of collection. With the huge popularity of the TV series, the up-coming collection will definitely lead to a shopping rush by GG fans and all other fashion lovers. The collection will launch on 13th September 2009. I think it will be interesting to see Blair and Serena walking in the collection down Manhattan. Let's wait and see how Anna examines on the metropolitan glamor of Gossip Girl. XOXO.

Australian Style of Fashion

Thanks the Sartorialist for his latest street snaps from Australia which help a lot in correcting my stereotype of the Australian style of fashion. There are actually spaces for things other than bikinis, shorts and beachwears. And the Australian manage to surprise me in their way of style. I'm not sure if it's the sunshine and blue sky, the Australian all look cozy and comfortable in their outfits. They might not be as cool as people in other fashion cities, but at least they are not COLD.

Met Costume Institute Gala 2009 Part 3

It seems that the magic of Nina Ricci is not really working on everyone. Bee Shaffer might have needed more exercise to slim up her waist for that corset dress. Tory Burch wore the navy blue sculptured gown and she is in desperate need of those platform boots. Lou Doillon, you passed cox you have Olivier Theyskens standing next to you.




I love Jessica Stam in her golden Rodarto bandage dress for no reason. I just love it! But she really needs to fix that piece of loose hair lying on her face.




I'm pleased to see someone wearing Matthew Williamson. His use of color always cheers me up!





I love Anne Hathaway's hair and make-up. But I'm not sure about her Marc Jacobs dress. The neckline after modification looks strange. And it reminds me of SHELL. Though deep purple works really great on Anne's snow skin.




Elizabeth Banks wore an Alberta Ferretti mini dress. I love how the dress combines a sequined neckline and a embroidered skirt. It is simple and elegant.

These are the outfits that catch my eyes. If you wish to see how the others' doing, google "Met Costume Institute Gala 2009" to find out. Good luck!
