Hi Lovelies! <3

I was at Blueprint Tradeshow 2014 and here’s a selection of my version of Best of Blueprint Tradeshow 2014.
For more info., you may refer to their official site here.
There’s some 200 local and international labels, of which I’m featuring about 20 here, enjoy!

Ana Faye

Ireland. Website here. Full 2015 lookbook here.

Before the tradeshow, I was invited down to her booth by Ana Faye, who found me online while search for press/blog releases online for previous years‘ Blueprint. Ana Faye hails from Ireland, having worked as a fashion and accessories designer for several years in London, Italy and China, her love for handbags and Ireland led her back home to start designing and making her own unique line of leather bags. She now stocks all over Ireland, UK, Europe and the USA and is looking to expand into Asia.

Unique powder blue leather bag. (Better colour reflected below), 179 pounds here.

Ana with her creations. 🙂 Bella Shopper in Sea Green available here.

Here with Ana! 😉

NatalieBColeman

Ireland. Website here.

Next up we have NatalieBColeman, also an Irish designer with confident and bold womenswear designs with a tinge of quirkiness. She presented a new FW 2014 collection that I love, which unfortunately at this point in time I don’t have the press images.

 

NATALIEBCOLEMAN Gold Zipped Lambskin Biker Pants, 600 pounds, on sale here.

LingWu

Singapore. Website here.

Ling Wu is no stranger to Blueprint, having showcased at Blueprint since the beginning, Ling Wu label has grown exponential and lately even showcased in Paris. Visit her FB here.

Absolutely love the structure and print of this MIA reptile skin bag.
With Ling Wu assistant & Lasalle junior, Margarita.

So so, I only had an hour’s breeze around the Blueprint Tradeshow,
as such the labels below are the brands I see on the handbook which I like and selected to feature here.

In case you’re wondering, the premise of which I decide to feature these brands are based; mainly on what I like, which is womenswear, and a kind of aesthetics veering towards contemporary chic and irreverent. 🙂

AL’Manita

Thailand. Website here.

Stylish, contemporary, chic. Irreverent yet sophisticated. I want the entire collection, nuff’ said. See the entire Spring Summer 2014 collection here.

American Retro

France. Website here.

Lookbook in larger images/pdf here.

Irreverent slogan tees, varsity jackets, knee high socks, pink leather jackets, pencil skirts, suited blazers. Effortless cool, that’s what they are. The non-basic basics of American fashion editors and fashionistas. I am in love with the brand. My only complain is the name, American Retro – it just conjures the image of a deserted American Petrol Kiosk, which I feel isn’t relevant today. Perhaps something more updated would be better. Nonetheless, the name does explain the heritage of the brand, the french designers went to US and came back inspired to design a collection and brand.

Ange Révolte

Singapore. Website here.

Titled Metaphor, Pre-Fall 2014 Collection, where there is light, there’s darkness, where there’s good, there’s bad. Frankly I think that black and white has been done to death by local designers, but there’s something still refreshing about this collections; the little details, the geometric cuts and designs, would definitely wear them. Full collection here. Fall collection also out here.

Bitching & Junkfood

UK. Website here. FB here.

There isn’t much images available from their official site, wanted to show you their SS14 collection/lookbook but couldn’t find it so I’m showing photos posted on their FB to show you a glimpse of their brand and irreverent style, which is obviously totally in line with their name, ya’know.

Major love for their fur/fur-like Daze hooded top and skirt.

Love their printed dress.

I want one of those feather shorts, pronto!!!
Palladium Dress, avail for 65 pounds, here.

Bitching & Junkfood is also stocked on ASOS here.

Carrie K.

Singapore. Website here.

Carrie K. is an artisan-crafted jewellery local brand. #localpride #sgpride!
Totes in love with her collections, see here, particularly love Reborn & A Beautiful Mess.

Reborn Tough as Nails Ring in Black Gold, US$208 here (Sold Out).

Reborn Safety Pin Ring in Yellow Gold, US$208 here. (Sold Out)

Infinity Rose Gold Ring, US$178 here.

CASO Jewelry

Thailand. Website here. FB here.

Love these geometric shaped rings. Unfortunately not avail. online. Stockists in Thailand here.

Clara Hansen

France & HK. Website here.

Clean lines, modern and chic bags! Stockists and contact here.

Ema Savahl

UK. Website here.

Ema Savahl Couture designer with a heavy emphasis on art and textures in her creation and also worn by celebrities worldwide. I love her collections which resemble pieces of art more than fashion apparels. Those baroque details? How gorgeous they are! Check out her artworks, I mean collections on her lookbooks here. Amazingly (wouldn’t you want to fly down to their store to get fitted?) also shoppable online here.

Fabitoria

Taiwan. Website (launching soon) here. Etsy Shop here and FB here.

I am guessing that Fabitoria is a conjoined term of the two words that are Fabulous and Victoria because that’s what I see, fabulous victorian elements in modern takes and twists. Images from their FB and Etsy shop. These outfits are perfect for afternoon dates at the park, a museum visit and are simply indicative of a woman of elegant pursuits and activities. Maybe all of us will start visiting the museum more often when we don these pieces. Someone buy these beautiful designs for me, please.

Lalalove

Thailand. Website here.

Major love for their digital prints and contemporary silhouettes. Their SS2014 has a lot of surrealistic and dark elements to say the least, check out the full set here.

Mischa Designs

Hong Kong. Website here.

I am in love with the simplicity and practicality of the brand.
Their site is beautiful, check them out on Instagram with #JETSETMISCHA and shop away here.

Monstore

Indonesia. Website here.

It seems that you can shop from there site, but I’m unsure how their shopping cart works cause I can’t seem to add items to the cart. I find their artist collaboration on their site very cool, visit here.

NIKKIE

Netherlands. Website here (Online Shop launching soon).

Modern, chic, city girl living & resort holidays. This is a designer to watch.  I want everything in this collection! Full lookbook here.

Nocturne

UK. Website here.

They have both apparels and accessories, I prefer their latter. Stocked internationally, stockists here.

PYLY X CARLETTA

Thailand. FB here.

Love how they mixed different prints and textures for their designs. Contemporary, colourful and very wearable.

REVASSEUR

Singapore. FB here.

REVASSEUR’s Fall Winter Collection is inspired by Disney’s Villains. Try guessing who the looks represent!
Love the slogan T “I ADMIT I’VE BEEN A LITTLE NASTY” and planning to make a trip down to SUPERSPACE again to find out my size before I pre-order. #localpride Yes, REVASSEUR is stocked at SUPERSPACE, will be writing a post on Orchard Gateway, Orchard’s latest mall soon.

Star by Yun

Taiwan. Website here.

Designed by Taiwanese socialite, Star by Yun is a contemporary jewelry line with a touch of class and yet can also be totally irreverent and hilarious.

Designer Yun Yun Sun.

Means “I LOVE GOD”.

Means “I AM SINGLE”

Means “I AM A ALCOHOLIC”

“make me laugh and I’m all yours”

“date me before I’m famous”“allergic to stupid people”

Gotta love Yun’s sense of humour!

Sweet Villians

Taiwan, Taipei. FB here.

Sweet Villians’ SS 2015 is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Love the ones with a lightning bolt at the front and the black and pink stripped shoes. Sweet villains indeed!

Yacht 21

Singapore. Website here. FB here.

A local affordable fashion label with a nautical emphasis. It’s like you’re forever having a holiday, why not right?

They have an outlet at Bugis Junction. 🙂

A few other brands I want to highlight but can’t get their updated lookbook/collection/images readily from their sites are La Mer,  Maisha Concept (the african remix version of the Paradise song on their site is really awesome btw), Miss Milne and Organs Without Body.

 Hope you enjoyed this post! Thank you for reading. 🙂

Thanks to Blueprint 2014 for the media pass and materials for the tradeshow. 😉
