Singapore Fashion Festival

Due to rain affecting Pogi's fashion show, I thought it would be ideal to pimp out the Singapore Fashion Festival, which began as soon as I arrived in SG (23-03).

What a coincidence?

Do you believe me now that Pogi is fashion? har har har

XD

Most of the festival included public fashion shows such as the one below, where designers labels lay their season gear on models, whilst they strut their stuff on a catwalk.

There were also massive sales from all the clothing boutiques around Singapore. Good timing for Pogi. XD

As you can see it is far from any real fashion shows such as Dior Homme FW 2007, but what do you expect? It's Singapore, not really a fashion capital of the world, or Asia as a matter of fact.

Due to a local friend in media/marketing, I was able to view the Marc by Marc Jacobs show in some place called Nee Amn City (sp?) and it was nice, a decent line in fact.

I did my best to look fashionable by wearing Revoltage jeans, Domanchi blazer, G2000 dress shirt and a Fox longsleeve. No shoes!? Just kidding, I had some Vans prison issues.

I got to mingle with the locals, check out cute models, and guess which guests were designers, journalists or tourists (like me!).

One thing though that my friend mentioned was, that there was no freebie bag?! She said usually these designer fashion shows give out freebie bags that contain various label related freebies.

I guess Marc chumped out on this show.

Oh wells. At least the experience was good as it was my first ever fashion show attendance.

Fashion show - day 2

What an amazing start to Pogi's fashion show thus far. *rolleyes*

Remember those fabulous suits I featured in my previous posts? I found something similar at Zara in Singapore. It is of slim fit design, two button (not the one button [-_-]), and cropped. Just the way I like it.

Unfortunately, not exactly like the Dior Homme variant but close enough. I would've had a tailored suit made but I wasn't staying in SG long enough.

Here it is. Please ignore the silly posing but I couldn't resist comparing my poses to the model's.

Sexy, no?

Ugly ass fashion

Now here is some damning proof that no matter how much an item of clothing costs, it doesn't prove that it is good fashion; and also that designers, can get it wrong sometimes, if not, most times.

A good example is this grey top I found in at a Burberry store in SG.

uurrgghhh

I don't mind the colour and style except for those nasty ass, tacky plastic gems. It just does not belong on this top, or in my opinion, it does not belong on clothes. I'd like to see it look good on a piece somewhere, but so far I can't think of any from the top of my head.

The price tag was SG$1200. Need I say more?

Mischa, why must you follow me everywhere?

Happy snaps: Bebe store in SG

I want.......XD

First and foremost, I can't get over this suit. It just looks so perfect and well suited (slap me for the pun) to my physique and my style.

I WANT IT....

But unfortunately, I can't, for the item is located in Japan, although I can purchase it online, I'm very fussy about the fit, it must be perfect. I'm very afraid of choosing the wrong size, or worst-case scenario, the fit is just not right.

Just look at it, the slim style which results in a snug fit, the jacket length is also shorter, and the lapel is slimmer which results in a more compact look. It still appears to be elegant, but strikingly fashionable at the same time, and best to be coupled with a narrow tie to add to the slim theme.

Plus it suits both my role at work (perfect for my meetings in the boardroom) and stylish enough for use at a drink lounge in the City after work. 2 uses in one day? Can anyone say perfikt? :)

C'mon seriously, you can totally see me wearing this.

Dang, I want it so bad. I need to fly to Japan now! I'm planning to go to Tokyo this year with bestie Grace and her bf Joni, but we'll see how we go between work and study.

I could also pray that work will finally open an office in Tokyo which has been in the works for quite some time, even before I started. Then I can go visit there. ^_^

Speaking of Japan, I was shopping the other day at Market City and some dude who works at one of the clothing stores said I look like a famous Japanese actor, then proceeded to ask if I was Japanese, only problem is, it didn't get me a discount on the stuff I bought.

Har har har. >_<

Accessories

Clothing brands come with their own odd accessories, and one that I've recently come across is well known Japanese label BAPE (A Bathing Ape).

Check out this BAPE inspired toilet paper.....

I can see Pharrell bringing this along at a Hollywood party showcasing it.

Food

I finally got around to tasting these chocolate biscuits. They are ridiculously delicious. Reminds me of the chocolates I ate from the Philippines or the U.S.

The chocolate is different, much better than the ones we have here. I think the chocolate here has preservatives or something? :/

But I always enjoyed imported chocolates more than the local variety.

Definitely add them to your chocolate list, McVitie's Penguins, from Sugarfix at Sydney Central Plaza, or from an Irish grocery store in Bondi.

Mood: sick (fever) and in pain (retarded knee).
Song of the moment: Razor Light - Dior Homme

A collection of Dior Homme songs, that were used at their fashion shows can be downloaded here. Enjoy!
