7th Kate Moss collection for Topshop

While everyone's eyes stays in New York, we can start to move towards London, for the next fashion week and also for the new items.
It's Kate Moss collection again with the theme versatility.
If no one reminds me, maybe I would forget it's already the seventh collection that she did for Topshop.

Look at the pictures that she took as a model for her own collection.
There is no doubt that the supermodel can carry her works best.
The black and white effect makes it feels like winter more.

The swallow-print dress on the left is Kate's favorite.
"I love this dress for its gorgeous sweetheart neckline.It feels flirty and casual with or without heels, dressed up or down." She told vogue.com

I couldn't help but wonder, we want the one time cooperation like what H&M mostly did or the Topshop version that would have so many different collection from the same person?
Perhaps when we buy the one time collection, it somehow due to the rare chance of such crossover, but if we continue to buy Kate's collection, should be because we really like what she designs.

My Agyness I.T Post

Is MY I.T Post, issue 4.
The theme of this issue is celebration.
Obviously this is to celebrate the 20th birthday of I.T, a huge fashion retailer in Hong Kong and up-and-coming in China.

It's the second time for Agyness Deyn to be on the cover of I.T post.
Inside, it also admits Aggy is the best face of I.T.
Hye Park also stars in the post.

It also features an interview with Ann Demeulemeester, a series of Polaroids of Gareth Pugh and photo shot by David Roemer.
4 stickers created by the design duo M/M Paris, Mathias Augustyniak and Michael Amzalag,
with characters named Miss I, Madame T, Mister X and Lady X to represent I.T 20th anniversary in Roman numerals.
Instead of something like a fashion magazine, a book for art would be more appropriate.

Phoebe Philo's back

Good news!
Phoebe Philo is back to the fashion industry and takes up the role of being Celine's creative director.
The British talented designer resigned from her post as a creative director of Chloé in January 2006.

The 35 year-old-mum feel as excited as her followers.
"I can't wait to step back into the studio and begin creating designs which will reinvigorate the brand, get customers excited about the product and work with a team that are incredibly serious and passionate about their work." Phoebe told WWD.

I don't really care which brand she will work for, what I care is whether she can bring us back the magic moment that she created for Chloé.
I hope our expectation won't cause so much pressure for this highly-missed designer.
All of us are looking forward for her great job in Celine for fall 2009 and the runway debut for season spring 2010.

Kate Moss in Gold

This picture does have a 'Wowing' effect.
I am quite sure the visitors of British Museum would feel the same when they see a GOLD Kate Moss sculpture.

This masterpiece is created by Marc Quinn.
After the yoga-pose sculpture he made 2 years ago, here is the larger version of his piece.
Valued at £1.5 million and weighted at 50 kilogram, it is reported as the largest gold statue to be made in the world since the time of Ancient Egypt.

Although some said the editorial that Kate starred is not that good anymore, these criticisms don't affect her anyway.
She is still a supermodel that people love, maybe too much that we have to make a gold statue to worship her.

Fashionista, don't just go to Victoria & Albert Museum when you visit London.
British Museum's Statuephilia exhibition can also be your choice between 4 October and 25 January.

10 Years Russian Beauty

Can you imagine how you look after 10 years?
10 years, is such a long time that is difficult to know what would be happening.
10 years ago, I can never except I would be writing a fashion blog and working in a 3D avatar fashion community.
For sure, Sasha Pivovarova would never imagine she would become a supermodel.

Vouge Russia September issue include a special editorial named "10 Years Later".
Putting together the recent photo of 9 Russian top models shotted by Terry Tsiolis with the photos 10 years ago when they are still a child.
These models include double cover girl of Vouge Paris and Vouge Russia Anna Selezneva, Tanya Dziahileva, Terry Tsiolis, Natasha Poly, Vlada Roslyakova, etc.

They are looks cute and their beauty shines since they are young.
Personally, I prefer the picture when they are a kid.
Although it is not so sexy and skillful, everything just looks so real and natural.
It is not about taking good pictures, it is about keeping a memory.

New stars for Harvey Nichols - Wallace and Gromit

Here is the new models just has sign up for Harvey Nichols new campaign - Wallace, Gromit and even Lady Tottington are included.
This is a big surprise and fortunately, in a GOOD way.

As a fan of Wallace and Gromit (I hugely in love all kinds of dog characters like Snoopy, Pluto and Milou), I am sure most people would love their new chic look.
When Wallace poses nicely in suits from Paul Smith and Alexander McQueen with Dolce & Gabbana shirt and Armani tie, while Gromit looks even smarter on it Duchamp or Paul Smith scarf and pair of Ray Ban sunglasses.
Lady Tottington also looks stunning by wearing a black draped dress by Alexander McQueen, having red heels by Christian Louboutin and holding a metallic Zagliani bag.

Some may wonder Wallace and Gromit would not be best match for the highend department store which always emphasises a sense of elegance.
However, I do find the cuteness would make Harvey Nichols appeals to younger audience and looks refreshing.
Most importantly, the ad looks awesome and stand out from other real models commercial.

Crocs?! No Way!!!

This is what appear in Vogue Paris, September issue.
When you just look at it, you may not discover anything wrong.
Take a closer look on the model's leg, then you will see what makes me shock.

It's a pair of CROCS!
No matter how comfortable it is, no matter how colorful it is, no matter how popular it is, I just can't stand for myself putting on a pair of Crocs.
For me, it is one of the ugliest things to put on someone's leg.

I have no idea why it would appear in French Vogue, and it truly disappoints me by this "special" choice.
Maybe I am the only one who feel surprised for that.
However, even something is hugely popular, or maybe even chic to wear, when you don't like it, I just can't think of a reason to force yourself to put it on.

Fabulous Olympics - Gymnastics and Synchronized Swimming

Typhoon no.9 in Hong Kong is currently in force, so I have a chance to look at the Synchronized Swimming - Team Event Technical Routine, which is regarded as the ballet in water.
Apart from enjoying their beautiful movement, I am truly impressed by the participants' swimsuit.

There is a Chinese character "hua" which stands for China on the left and prunus mume flower (known as plum blossom, one of the national flower of China) throughout the swimsuit and hair accessories of the Chinese Team.
It truly represents the essence of China culture and spirit.
The bling bling crystal on top which costs more than US$10000 makes the look more stunning.

There are also lots of gorgeous outfit in synchronized swimming, gymnastics artistic and gymnastics rhythmic.
Gemma Mengual and Andrea Fuentes of Spain
Shawn Johnson of America, the sweet gold and sliver medals winner
Olga Kapranova of Russia
Anna Bessonova of Ukraina, Athens Rhythmic Gymnastics bronze medalist
Greek team in gymnastics rhythmic all round

The Olympics will end soon on the coming Sunday.
Olympics is still olympics. We focus on sports and the outstanding performance of the athetics.
However, it would never be the effort of one person.
While we are prising the medal winners, maybe we should not forget their coachs and for sure, the outfit designers.
