Balenciaga's power collage-style ad campaign
I hear a lot of people complaining about the Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign, but really, to me, it’s just perfection. The power collage-style with models overlapping each other in a criss-cross way is pretty playful. Accompanied accordingly by splashes of sizzling colours like citric yellow, fanta orange and lime green amidst the clean so-not-boring grey background, this set of photographs by Steven Meisel just screams fresh in a larger than life way to me. That’s Balenciaga, baby!

Designer Michael Michalsky and his magnificent models in DHL-inspired Haute Couture gowns
One of the coolest gifts found in the RAFW show bag for me is none other than the DHL Calender showcasing a mind-boggling range of Haute Couture garments made from packaging materials – designed by the great German designer Michael Michalsky. Although this ancient set of images has been published for who-knows-how-long (almost half a year actually), it’s just amazing to see the collection printed in über-HQ quality, because that’s when the magic comes alive. Impossible certainly does not exist in the magnificent world of Michael Michalsky and you know what? Although arriving fashionable late is in vogue, the global delivery company recognises the importance of punctuality and guarantees timely delivery. Respect.

I dream of Hermès
It might seem so unoriginal to put Hermès as the ultimate buy on the consideration list for mother’s day; but really the great messenger of the gods in Greek mythology is truly the ultimate messenger to convey your love for this beloved figure in your life on this special day by treating her, spoiling her and ultimately to embrace her in a style that nobody (especially her picky friends) will deny or dis in any way at all. Naturally anything from the Hermès Shop would be worth every penny spent, because you know what? She is worth it!
The Spring/Summer 2010 ready-to-wear collection in store now is really quite a charmer itself. It encapsulates luxe at the very tip of the apex like no other. Just touching it on the rack, feeling its weight and how it just melts on the body like second skin; there is really no replacement in the market for its extraordinary design and meticulous craftsmanship. You know how mum just knows what size you are. Well… I guess it’s time to learn mum’s size and bring her the message of love that lasts forever.

My Wildest Dreams...
Like a divine creature of nature, Dutch model Kim Noorda mesmerises all in Stella McCartney’s idyllic Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign for the British IT Designer’s lingerie collection. Under the spellbinding lens of Tim Barber, this set of intimate photographs, shot both at home and in the wild, conveys the purity of fresh natural beauty. Although Ms. McCartney did work a lot of racy laces into the collection, she kept the collection youthful and delightfully sweet without veering into an overtly sexy path. As simple as it is, how could anyone not go weak in the knees for this?

Brun Van Dyck Fall/Winter Ready-to-wear 2010/11 Collection
The first time I caught a glimpse of Brun Van Dyck’s mesmerising menswear collection was at the roomsLINK exhibition in Tokyo. Naturally, I felt an immediate attraction towards it. What overwhelmed me the most is how clean and structured each piece of the collection is. Meticulous execution of each artisanal technique brings power and confidence to the wearer, while the designer’s creative approach sizzles these understated pieces with a modern zest that felt innovative yet strikingly wearable.

Ian O'Brien in Blackbarrett by Neil Barrett's Spring/Summer 2010 Ad Campaign
Shouldn’t I be thankful that I actually live in Hong Kong and not somewhere in the outback? I mean although I had surveyed every inch of the Seibu store in Ikebukuro when I was in Tokyo, somehow I missed BlackBarrett. Unbelievably stupid as it may sound, I should just be thankful that I am given a second chance, (which I may or may not deserve), as the ever-so-wonderful British designer Neil Barrett has expanded his horizons outside of Japan with his first BlackBarrett store in Central, Hong Kong.
For Spring/Summer 2010, Mr. Barrett works with the theme of “Boyhemian”. Playing with the idea of youth, freedom and peace, we saw an explosion of wicked colours in the amazing ad campaign. Paired with a relaxed loose fit, the idyllic atmosphere captured in this set of photographs is simply enticing to the eyes of the beholder. With his swinging long hair, British model Ian O’Brien possesses the ideal face and body language to exhibit the attitude of the season.
