Victoria Tuaz wears Peter Jensen Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection.
It’s not every day that I fall madly in love with a fashion label in a matter of micro seconds, but it certainly looks like this is such a shameless case today. Namely, Peter Jensen’s Spring/Summer Ready-to-wear 2010 collection is simply fantastic! Running high on the innovation factor, the Danish-born designer’s signature is his mischievous touch on each piece of the collection creating something slightly twisted, but always youthful and super refined.

Danish model Christian Brylle looking like a scrumptious piece of Crème brûlée in Uniqlo’s Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign
Oh dear Christian, not just any Christian, but THE Christian who totally turns Robert mad inside out on account of a drop-dead-gorgeous girl named Sheila,
Was it really you who walked by me swiftly in Shibuya on those baffling streets near Parco Department Store in the afternoon of Monday 29 March 2010? Should I have yelled out “kris-chuhn” the good old American way? Or should I have whispered the name “Chris-ti-an” alluringly – replicating the remarkably fancy articulation as of those highly sophisticated and seductive Christian Dior TV ads? Namely, I just have no idea how so ever to pronounce Christian in Danish. Considering this is a once in a life time opportunity, I suppose saying it in Danish would have helped to make identification immensely effective, even though I know you speak English perfectly well.
The snappy glance I caught of you amongst misty fogs of people on those infamously crowded streets of Tokyo failed ever so tragically to certify your identity. However, I did sense the sexy swishy movement of your silky almost-shoulder length hair as well as that evidently edgy androgynous vibe through the clouds of people as you marched uphill at the miraculous speed of lightning. Oh, that’s the very same aura I get from you, whenever I see streetstyle pics of your mighty honour! How your presence has transformed me into a numb and utterly speechless dummy? By that, I am confident to say that I am 80±10% sure it was you and only you that day.
Why didn’t I pretend to have been under some sort of influence, which disrupted my navigational skills and caused a head on collision into you – faking or not faking a major injury? Maybe then the cliché boy-meets-girl love story plot will follow, so that I could happily rob Rob’s pain right off his ass. Wouldn’t that be nice? Well… Shame you speeded off like a Ferrari on its tracks. I guess not everybody can be Robert Kubica Michael Schumacher. Well… if you need oil, tyre or girlfriend changes, I am happy to be at your service.
Yours most lovingly,
-just a passerby-

Magnificence from McQueen
Spring into Spring 2010 with a splash of colours in honour of the late Designer Alexander McQueen. The legendary Brit’s paint splash jeans ($570.00) are indisputably a unique piece that not only looks great, but also an inimitable keeper that speaks colourful tones of explicit individuality regardless of age and season. His bi-colour stripe cotton t-shirt ($315.00) is, similarly, fantastic with its masterful applications of painterly strokes in orange and blue - bringing the ferocious image of a lively wild tiger to mind.

Red Laminated Jeans From Alexander McQueen
Other than dying to buy Alexander McQueen’s red ombre scarf dress, another item that I am absolutely tempted to take home is his red laminated jeans (USD $895.00 $354.00). I love this peculiar visual effect on the jeans. It shapes and sculpts the legs oh so lean and lovely as well as giving them a dreamlike super perfect fit! The glistening laminated touch all over the trousers also gives off a glamorous allure, which I just love! When the sun doesn’t shine, be a knight in Mr. McQueen’s shining armor!
Available at Alexander McQueen.

BlackBarrett by Neil Barrett Fall Winter 2009
I was utterly surprised when I first saw Blackbarrett by Neil Barrett’s Fall/Winter 2009/10 collection from an I.T. catalog. I like it, because it’s not only fresh and youthful, but also loaded with an instinctively simple and uncomplicated attitude. For Fall/Winter 2009/10, designer Neil Barrett was inspired by the legendary vampire film, Lost Boys. Joel Schumacher’s 1980’s film not only offerred Mr. Barrett’s Japan-based subline an independent rock ‘n roll edge, but also a unique dark style deriving from the film’s notable characters. Subsequently, we saw a load of denim, leather and coarse garments – all of which, have a shock horror rough touch scattered monstrously across it, but as we all know Mr. Barrett’s clothing line is extremely well tailored and this one is no different. With its crude rough touch and precise tailoring, it mischievously stimulates an intensely magnetic feeling of lust and passion amongst its customers. The two things that caught my eyes from this collection are naturally those faded blue denim jeans with those criss-crossed details as well as the backless-and-strapped vest. Tough love, no?
Blackbarett by Neil Barrett is available online at sanyo-i.jp and in I.T. stores.

Dorothea Barth Jörgensen, Frida Gustavsson and Melissa Bell in Acne
Many people know Acne only as the avant-garde leader in the Jeans sector of the fashion world. Surely, this Swedish brand, whose name is an acronym standing for “Ambition to Create Novel Expression”, is more than just jeans! It’s also amazing clothes to beautify everyday!

Spotted at Lane Crawford
@ Womenswear/Lane Crawford:
- Inside Out has arrived! There is not a great variety – but some nice Trompe d’oeil tops ($2500 HKD) and pants ($2900 HKD). So so soooo special!
- Cheap Monday sexy black lace leggings. ($449 HKD)
- Is Dorian Ho the Hong Kong’s Marchesa?
- Ksubi also has a love heart Tee. ($1200 HKD)
- Alexander McQueen dress placed in the podium has the true “WOWWWWW” effect.
- Up close, the details in Schumacher’s collection are so nice. Great use of bejewelled embellishments, like those sweet twin buttons and the stones and love heart deco. Truly made with love!
- See by Chloé has a love heart tee ($890 HKD). Less cool than the one from Ksubi’s actually.
- DVF feels outdated.
- Lanvin has an eye and lashes bag. So cool ‘n’ chic.
- Black flats from Chloé with super large bow. Mmm…
@ Menswear/Lane Crawford:
- @ Marc Jacobs: Go-go gold jacket!
- @ Helmut Lang: nice tees from Helmut Lang and Atsuo Boris for Helmut Lang ($1300 HKD).
- @ Jeans department: Ksubi seems like the “IT” thing. Those famous crosses are on fire!
- @ the elegantly-decorated jeans department, I overheard a customer’s sudden exclamation: “I don’t like jeans with so many buttons. It’s hard to p**!”.

Spiral Girl Metallic Silver Jeans
I know. I know. I know. Mums are the best! Not only do they know you the best, they also almost-always provide you with the best! Like a few weeks ago, my mum, the famous Mrs X., took me to i.t. sales, because she could not stand the severe extremity I was torturing my grey “black” Ksubi jeans. Well… Surely, you can predict what was doomed to happen thereafter. We came home with a little something extra. Something that shimmers a particularly shade of silver in the dark. Ahhh… It was fate! Here it is:

Tilda Dahlgren and Charlie Westerberg in Cheap Monday Jeans
I have wanted to make this entry on Cheap Monday for a little while, all because I saw this sleek black doll wearing this ultra cool pair of ripped Cheap Monday jeans in the podium floor at the luxurious Lane Crawford department store. Then yesterday, I watched an interview of Swedish newcomer Frida Gustavsson on models.com. In it, the sweet Swede, who has sensationally swept New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010 by storm, told us in that adorable voice of hers that she was wearing whatelse but those super sweet Swedish jeans. Well… How can I resist anymore?
