All Saints – Purple Invasion

Bolongaro Trevor joy…

When I heard that Bolongaro Trevor was going to open a shop in Carnaby street, I was very happy. After all, their shop on Shoreditch High St is just badly located, surrounded by just bars loaded with drunkens – obviously not the type of people who would appreciate the fantastic designs. At least now they are only steps away from other cool fellow boutiques – Concrete, Hurwundeki, Beyond the Valley, etc.

Finally today I made my way to visit the store, and tbh, I expected the inside to be something more. It is Kait and Stuart’s second child after all (first one was All Saints if you haven’t got to know). But then again I guess they were just in a hurry to open the store before Christmas hence no time for interior decoration. And as long as the clothes are there, then why would I care?

And I completely forgot about the interior the moment I started digging in, and after five minutes, found my new favourite jumper.

Have a nice new week,

P.S: Update on Purple Invasion sale

I decided to keep it going on this whole week , check previous post for details.

coolest Asian couple…

fashion walks London

Right. It’s something so official we actually don’t say it outloud anymore, but I’m saying it again today: East Asian people are the best dressers.

Who could argue with that, really? Japanese are the craziest and most creative, Korean are the most elegant, and Chinese are usually the most colourful. Vietnamese, well, they are trying. Anyway, don’t even try to argue otherwise. By the way, click on Style Arena on my blogroll to have a sneak-peek at Japanese street style – very cool site.

Anyway, back to the Asians. Yesterday I met this couple, who I think could put all other Asians to shame. Check them out

On the left is Taegun, 26, from Korea, a fashion designer. I love his chunky knitwear and it’s by Stella McCartney. His dark grey sweater and bag are by Vivien Westwood. T-shirt and boots are from All Saints. And dark chocolate leather pants are by Michiko Koshino.

On the right is Conni, 24, from Taiwan, a graphic designer. Her zip-up black dress is by the up-and-coming Alexander Wang, jacket is from See by Chloe. Shoes are from B store and hat is vintage from Camden. I love her bag (although you can’t really see behind the Liberty bag) is by Pauric Sweeney.

Taegun is working on his own brand Yohan Kim. So watch out.

Final note: I admire anybody who could still make an effort to look good in this weather, it’s driving me crazy and all I wanna do is to wrap myself up in my duvet 😦

nx,

note: the people in the photos asked me to delete their photos, due to personal problems, and although it kills me to do that, I have no choice but do that. but i can’t delete this post because of the comments, i have to keep them :”)

so, sorry for not really seeing something really cool here. it was really cool. you’re just late :”)

Pitch Black…

fashion walks London

Continue with the black theme. But this time, it’s pure black, plain black, extreme black.

Jacket: New Look

Bag: Topshop

Boots: Dr Marten’s

Oh how I just love the dark evil look, especially when it works so well on her 🙂

Black works differently on guys though.

I love this guy James. When I stopped him and ask to take his photo, he shyly smiled and said thank you. I was like, for what. “Because I think I look like a mess,” he said.

Oh no, Mr.Graphic Designer, how could you look like a mess wearing an All Saints bag, Swear shoes, that lovely almost-vintage army-like double-chested coat (surprisingly from River Island Boutique – the vintage range) and that smile.

okay. that’s enough blackness for today.

nx,
