June 29, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Lovelies! <3

Today I want to introduce a local label, Panayo. 😉

The apparels are predominantly minimalistic and classy with structural twist. Panayō experiment with geometry, bold cuts and shapes to conjure unique patterns. Panayō is an Ancient Sanskrit word (पनयो) equivalent for confidence. For more info. refer to their site about page here.

Panayo’s FW 2014/15 collection is titled Urban Nomad and their pieces can be found at stockists or bought online. More of that later.

Photos first! 😀

THE WONDER WANDERERS

Nomadic Pastoralism “Nomads” is a result of the Neolithic revolution where humans adapt to environmental conditions and migrates to exploit scarce resources. This movement has been dubbed as one of the great advances in the evolution of mankind. Over the centuries, Tibetan nomads “ndrogba” ( འབྲོག་པ། ( འབྲོག་པ།) overcame the harsh mountain ecosystem that offers little and strived on moving through the wandering lustre of green grasslands and hills of the romantic Tibetan plateau.

The nature of nomadic fashion styles are testaments to practicality and functionality of simple sophistication with a touch of unique and distinctive flair which is intertwined to the romanticism of flowy green pastures in the midst of hostility. “ndrogba” dons on multiple layers of clothing that enables them to adapt to varieties of environmental conditions. These layered flowy look creates visually stunning overall appeal, one that is iconic to Tibetan nomads.

There is real beauty in their fashion and life alike. The nomads did more than just survive. They created a unique, vibrant and colourful culture that depicts the triumph of humanity over adverse circumstances and conformity.

Surreal, but closely knitted to the fate of urban nomad in the face of globalization.

“Urban Nomad” is a modern wanderer; a dreamer – of not just things material but immaterial too; from sensuous to spiritual. Home is but a relative concept that is devoid of any attachment to fixation. The concept of flow is aligned to their intellect. Urban Nomad is slave to nothing, not even fashion, but has perceived fashion as the way they deem fit.

My picks from the collection:

Kashaya Robes available here.

Grey Capote Cardigan here.

I can totally imagine myself wearing the Kashaya Robes for an art exhibition opening or Euro trip. And the cardigan is love! Would totes wear it to work everyday.

Urban Nomad is officially available @ www.LabelPanayo.com. See their full FW 2014/15 lookbook here.

Of Vietnamese Ao Dais & Chinese Winter; AFF Star Creation 2013 Alumni Capsule Collections

June 26, 2014 Ena Teo Leave a comment

Hi Lovelies!

So back in May, I attended the capsule collection of the winners/alumni of Star Creation 2013. If you haven’t, go check out my post on Star Creation 2014 here! After a year-long internship with powerhouse luxury retailer F J Benjamin, designers Vu Ta Linh, 27 (Vietnam) and Sun Yijin, 25 (China) presented their capsule collections at the Audi Fashion Festival.

Presenting some of my picks from designers Vu Ta Linh, 27 (Vietnam).

Drawing inspiration from a song performed by a top Vietnamese singer, designer Vu Ta Linh’s collection ‘Indigo’ featured various shades of the colour. Elegant models donned the collection that successfully encapsulated elements of the traditional Vietnamese costume, the Ao Dai, in its textures, shapes and detailing.

Love the red in this piece.

Love the drape of this piece and the pairing of the necklace, very warrior goddess-esque!

Another look i love, strong yet also feminine and glamourous.

Presenting some of my picks from Sun Yijin, 25 (China):

Chinese native Sun Yijin brought about a change in seasons at Tent@Orchard as she sent models down the runway in her collection titled ‘Winter’. A colour palette of white, grey and black – commonly associated with winter – was peppered with bursts of bright orange and pine green, as she sought to combine the tropical elements in Singapore with China’s seasonal climate.

Definitely love the burst of orange.

This cute leaf/nature prints in green and white is very Japanese whimsical cute.

This print reminds me of Korean designer Lie Sang Bong. See:

Lie Sang Bong SS 2014, Paris Fashion Week 2014. Credits here.

Love this look, possibly what Rihanna might sport after a plane ride, albeit w bling-ed accessories and shades. 😉

After show no filter selfies (or wefies?) with Shane & Smita…

OOTD in Depression dress, New Look wedge heels. Yeahhh i look a little funny mid laughter, must have been bending in laughter due to awkwardness of OOTDings in the middle of Orchard road… Thanks to Smita for the pics! :*

Thanks to Star Creation and AKA Asia for the invite!

Thank u for reading. <3
