Playing fashion. Slovenian model Marko Brozic enjoying his life in Prada.
Two of my favorite guys – Marko Brozic and Christopher Rayner – team up with soon-to-be-favourite-of-mine Nick R for this editorial from Fudge magazine’s May 2010 issue. Dressed in the season’s hottest buys from foreign high fashion labels as well as local talents by Stylist Marutani Naofumi, the boys look irresistibly cool chilling out in this picturesque courtyard. My ultimate favorite picture from this bunch of pictures by photographer Tokumaru Junichiro is no doubt Chris in the blindfold wearing a total look by Ann Demeulemeester. The composition of that picture from the pretty prickly epine black leather necklace to the obscured facial expression works flawlessly. This is definitely already listed as a favorite editorial of mine for the month.

The Midsummer Odyssey by But-Sou Lai
Last month, we brought to you Lane Crawford’s smashing Spring/Summer 2010 publication – The Portfolio featuring an exclusive editorial with the drop dead gorgeous Dree Hemingway. It would be completely wrong of me to the stylish crowd all over the world, if I don’t post the corresponding menswear publication, would it not? Well… Better late than never, here it comes.
For men, The Portfolio presents a thorough global trend report that shall not be missed. From Eastern Promises to Desert Storm, what is in now is in The Portfolio. The highlight of which for me is naturally the editorial entitled “The Midsummer Odyssey”. Amidst a raw and ramshackle building, photographer But-Sou Lai encapsulates the essence of the season: a marvelous mix of understated soft tailoring with utilitarianism, the vivacity of ethnic influences and modern artisan. The result illustrates the charm of a modern man in a plain and simply irresistible way.

Martinique-born model Sigrid Agren for Yves Saint Laurent Holiday Look 2009
I know! I know! I know! It’s bad to change my mind so quickly. However, when confronting something oh so lovely as Yves Saint Laurent’s New Holiday Makeup collection, I’m just absolutely feeble as a flee! I love how in your face the holiday look, as shown by Martinique model Sigrid Agren, is! It says strong, bold and confident, like nobody else does and I adore everything about it – from the flawless use of pure colour to create this rich vibrant look to the raw energy it exudes! Everything is rich, sensual and immaculately powerful! Chanel Christmas look? Sorry, no, thanks! Not anymore! Yves Saint Laurent’s holiday collection is truly what I want for Christmas!

Under the creative direction of Stefano Pilati, the Parisian fashion house of Yves Saint Laurent will bloom forever - and that’s a fact!

With the measurements of 15.6H X 15.5W X 5D, the tote bag features embossed Yves Saint Laurent logo, leather handles, and top zip closure. Smart casual and so unbelievably elegant!
- Silk printed scarf in black and white ($USD 395) – If you have watched Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) or have read the book (2000) by English writer Sophie Kinsella, you would have known that a luxurious silk scarf can change both a girl’s entire look and life! Measuring 21cm X 180cm, this sensational silk scarf with the beautiful black and white printed sequins design is simply one that fits into the fore-mentioned category.

Since it is father’s day tomorrow, I raided menswear department (again) at KaDeWe. What did I find and realise? Menswear is likely to be the most boring and most ridiculously repetitive place on earth ever. I mean as I walked through the menswear department, it really does look like all the clothes are just a self-replication of one another: shoes, pants, sweaters, shirts, jackets, all the same and repeated. What sells, I guess, is the quality and details.
Thank god for YSL, Lanvin, Damir Doma and Dior Homme!

Just as I was wondering what could possibly outshine that spectacular show from last season, the fireworks have already been lighted. The Yves Saint Laurent show has officially begun! Frankly speaking, I simply do not know where to start. The show was just amazing – ultra Parisian yet very Pilati in all ways! For me, as each look emerged on the slideshow on style.com, it came to me like a succession of seawaves – very soothing yet each look was so unique and ultimately extremely overwhelming!
The black trend has been going on for a while now. To move away from the darkness of the past, this season’s black comes in a twist that intertwines classicism with orientalist modernism and strikes in max power! Evident of this is the first look at the Yves Saint Laurent show worn by the Martinique-born model Sigrid Agren (Elite). Wearing a black midriff top, a matching finely-tailored skirt and a coat, the look has been tailored to meet the high standards of Parisian chic, elegance and luxury but at the same emitting a sexual sensual refinement that is quintescential and at the same time also modern and very today. Ultimately, that is another very brave move on the part of Creative Designer of the French Luxury House Stefano Pilati. As the iconic French actress Catherine Deneuve said after the show, it was a simple display of “everything but vulgar”.
