Taken somewhere around Poho, I was given the excuse to do an outfit shoot under the pretense of completing my on-site "research" for an architecture assignment. Of course, who was I kidding with my neon orange beanie.

FASHION | Fashion editorials fit for Halloween
Vogue Italia September 2010 | Haute Couture Paris September 2010 | Kristen McMenamy | Paolo Reversi (via Faking Fashion)
Alas, fresh autumnal winds have arrived along with fashion's favourite festival of the year. And what would that be? (Honestly, there's only one...)
Fashion Gone Rogue | Dancing in the Dark | Marcelina Sowa | Angelo d'Agostino (via Fashion Gone Rogue)
With Halloween nearly upon us, I thought it'd be timely to highlight some of my favourite fashion editorials from l'enfant terrible Steven Klein to David Sims' disturbing black and white shots for McQueen.

ART | Tour Paris 13
When completed, a tower in the 13th Arrondissement of Paris will be the largest group Street Art exhibition ever carried out. With over 4,500 square meters of ground, wall and ceiling space, artists representing 16 different nationalities will be using every part of the building to make it into their masterpiece.
What sets this apart from other works of art is its temporal and ephemeral nature, free and open to all, with no marketing gimmick and no price tags - because at the end of the day, the building will be reduced to a pile of rubble.

[OOTD] BLUE
Returning from a crazy 95% off sale at Harvey Nichols, Emily and I looked like shopahalics on the loose with shopping bags on each arm. As much as I wanted to do a reshoot, I had to do it that day as I wanted to feature a futuristic looking visor cap I loaned from local menswear designer Six Lee.
I noticed the visor at Six Lee's fashion show which took place at the W Hong Kong 5th Anniversary party. The blue roses struck me for their baroque detailing which added an artistic dimension to the futuristic looking visor. What also interested me was the drama that came with the visor as it covered most of the person's face.

FASHION | Thom Browne Spring 2014 @ Joyce HK
Speak of the event of events! The hoi polloi of fashion descended upon Joyce for the preview of Thom Browne's Spring 2014 collection with a special appearance by the designer himself. Noted for his school boy silhouettes and unconventional style, Browne is no less a tour de force for next season's offering.
While this season may not have been everybody's cup of tea, Browne's specialty in menswear is without a doubt a reaffirmation of his love for uniforms. Specifically, we're talking about military sportswear with hints of fetishism what with the abundant buttons that spoke of stifled sex and perhaps even BDSM. Of course, don't let my description scare you away as the clothes themselves are impeccably tailored.
