I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

I did a double take when the models first walked out looking like offsprings of a clown and a geisha. This is probably not new and in fact I feel that a lot of you will agree, but clowns and geishas freak the living daylight out of me. Oh what an irony, yes yes I do remember dubbing the LFW scene a ‘circus’ a few posts below. Although I confess, the makeup did eventually grow on me as the collection streamed out, made up by the extensive use of feathers, because only then the general vibe developed into a fantastic midnight exotic bird parade. The colour palette mainly consisted of charcoal grey with pops of electric blue, purple or yellows; fabric weights ranged from sheer to heavy textured knits. Especially loved the oversized bags and sailor knots with dark coloured ropes, I think it’s time to get in touch with my inner pirate and learn how to knot my victim sweaters…

    Please don’t type in all caps–it seems like you’re SCREAMING at us. Also, learn how to spell and stop being so ignorant. It takes months and even years of experience to learn how to use a DSLR properly and with skill.

    haters gonna hate

    It’s funny (unfortunately in a quite pathetic way) how you can’t sense the sarcasm in my comment.

  7. The models really look like a mannequin! Oh, and I love the detail on the top and the bag. Really pretty.

  11. These are amazing!!!!! You are lucky to have witnessed this collection.

  12. Your photos are phenomenal, Shini. I wish I’d gone to his show but this is the next best thing to being there. Better, in fact: I can see more detail than if I were there.

    It’s funny you said that: clowns and geishas freak me out, too. I’ll never forget a clown painting my aunt made that hung in their den.. nightmares!

    Thank you for putting together another great post.

    I’m so glad you featured him! I’m from M’sia & seeing him featured here with the full glory of his design details (oh the large rope belt, the opulent feathers and the colour pallette!) makes me proud we’re from the same country. Thanks Shini :)

  14. i think the sailor knot belt is the best :)
    make up is still too scary at this point for me :/

  26. Hi there, I think your blog may be having browser compatibility problems.
    Whenever I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine
    but when opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues.
    I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Apart from that, wonderful blog!
