SWASH bucklin'

Recently going over a few files, I came across Swash's spring summer 2010 lookbook. Swash is a small thing not really well known over here in North America. Based in London, it is a fashion partnership between Sarah Swash and Toshio Yamanaka who both studied fashion design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Every collection that they come out with is a brilliant mix of patterns and prints and quite heavily Japanese-inspired, though it pulls off the total British vibe. That's what makes Swash breathtaking, in my opinion anyways.

Swash's Spring Summer 2010 Lookbook

Yamanaka had also completed various courses in technical fashion design and trained as a pattern cutter at Kingston University and the London College of Fashion. His technicality totally shows through and maybe this is why they can also construct successful menswear accessories. I personally love their BIG bags that seem to be so big that you can probs fit your whole life in it. Hehe.

Swash grew in Japan then won lots of awards in Europe. What we want is for them to branch out into North America, and for that to happen... North Americans should start opening up to a stronger silhouette, funkier architecture, and anything goes prints. Let's have more fun with our clothes, shall we ?

Swash's scarf designs Spring Summer 2011

All about animals, dogs, zebras, slinkys, giraffes, basically anything goes. Not just the animal prints, but also the animal HEADS. These are scarf designs, but they design beautiful clothes that include turbans, wide-legged jumpsuits, maxis, draperies, leggings, and even to simple tees. Such an eclectic mix of character and vitality !!! LOVE !!!!!!

hot power women kills

This post is dedicated to all the POWER women out there killing the world-

I really should go over which editorial and which magazine each are from.. But I'm lazy this afternoon. Plus, I'm at my MIS group meeting and I really shouldn't be blogging. Woohoo !! In case you don't know what MIS is, it is a mandatory commerce course I must take, short for Management Information Systems. It's quite awful and I learn about data and technology, how to make tables and diagrams, and IT implementations in business. EEEYUUCKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MORE LOVE

Just wanting to share more. No harm. Inspirations from the past two weeks or so. Getting back to the blogging habit.

BEAUTIFUL. Found it on Style Bubble. A blog you should all have stumbled upon on the world wide web. Feather accessories for both sexes. I was more attracted to these for males. It was the feather's vulnerability that killed it. Instead of STRONG shoulder pads, here we have soft feathers.

Only in Nippon.
Last week, I was out Downtown, roaming the vintage stores with Tiff, a great girl, when I was approached my two Japanese guys asking me if I was Japanese in Japanese. Again, out of JAPN 150 habit, I replied "No, I'm Korean" in Japanese. We laughed. As if I can speak any more Japanese than that. I want to live there. I need to go there.
Buy me a kotatsu ?




Never Let Me Go written by Kazuo Ishiguro

I give 100 billion thanks to my friend for lending me this book ! Today, I finally finished it and am delighted how different yet similar the book and the movie were.

The movie was definitely more haunting with its visuals and sounds (including the many silent scenes of landscapes). However the characters could be perceived totally differently with the book. Whereas in the movie, I thought that Kathy H. was always in the right and Ruth in the wrong, it was totally the opposite in the novel. I now have this connection and pity with Ruth while I seem to detest Kathy's deliberate actions. Oh, she's the worst. She seems to be the weak, kind-hearted girl, but OH DON'T BE FOOLED. She's so sneaky and deliberate in the most "peaceful" ways.

Well that's enough ranting from me. Read it yourself and watch the movie, too !!!!! Here's the trailer starring Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan.


Erin Wasson, looking lost as ever. RRRUVS.


Kate Moss TRAAASHED. RRRUVS.



Oh, and a little bit of interesting news regarding the US. There's the huge site that's been launched for the gay military workers: OUT MILITARY. Well, now that Obama has worked out the Don't Ask; Don't Tell, I guess they are going full out and open. Still, it's still a shocker how fast the world moves these days. (Obviously I found this out through Twitter; sadly, I don't read the paper and Twitter is the perfect alternative. Hehe !)

OKAY !! BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW !!
LET'S DO THIS, 2011.
