BURBERRY SPRING SUMMER 2010 AD CAMPAIGN.

Click on images for HQs.

I hate to say it but, i told you so!

''This campaign celebrates our heritage and our timeless Burberry icons. The energy of the images and the dynamic cast reflect the different attitudes and expressions of the Burberry guy and girl.

We've worked again with Emma Watson who has a classic, effortless beauty and is incredibly talented. Alongside Emma we have four British guys; Emma's younger brother Alex Watson, Matt Gilmour, Max Hurd and George Craig.

We always talk about how much fun we have making these images and I wanted to capture some of the excitement that you feel on set when all these different creative attitudes and personalities come together. Mario has shot these as both stills and video so we can share some of that energy with a wider audience”. -Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer

BRODARTE- RODARTE FOR MEN.

Do you think the sisters will adopt me and make me the next Tavi after this post? Priced at approximately $3874 each (Final sale price, hello trip to Paris!), I must make them adopt me to wear one of these. Made of 57% superkid mohair, alpaca, nylon, wool, polyester, metal polyester, silk, viscose, rayon (that is more ingredient than my regular subway sandwich) and hand knit, no wonder it cost a bomb.

I guessed if learn to knit… hmm. Ready, get set, Google!

LANVIN HOMME- LUCAS OSSENDRIJVER.

Another ‘first-to-see’ collection for every men’s fashion week is Lanvin. While many know Alber Elbaz as the successor behind present Lanvin, the designer of men’s ready-to-wear is Lucas Ossendrijver.

Previously, Ossendrijver worked for Dior Homme with Hedi Slimane—Yeah, that collection that everyone raved about. With the success of Dior Homme, he soon joined Lanvin in ’05.

Lanvin Homme has its own identity, like how I think Miu Miu Homme, Burberry or Dries does, it is unique in its own way and you will never mistaken it for a Dunhill or a Zegna.

There is so many things that I need in life; a trench from Burberry, A bag from Hermes, a silk tie from dries but there are too many that I need from Lanvin; Let’s start with the beaded sneakers.

LOUIS VUITTON PRESS DAY S2010.

Well I was of course representing MYKROMAG for the Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2010 press presentation. This blog wouldn’t come close to getting an invite to a luxury brand press day. I’m very sure of that because this was how the Communications Manager greeted me; “actually, we don’t invite blogs to our events”. I was expecting an introduction; maybe that’s how it works in Singapore? Because I’m pretty sure that Marc Jacobs and BryanBoy are good friends.

Don't get me wrong, i love the brand and i would shave my head to wear those afro wigs but i dislike being disrespected just because I'm young.

LOUIS VUITTON ACCESSORIES S2010, MENS.

When was the last time I bought a Vuitton bag? Hmm, never. (Does a pre-loved LV globe shopper tote counts?) The last time I stole something from my sister’s bag collection: Not long ago. No doubt Louis Vuitton is ‘in our blood’, (board the train in the morning and you’ll know what I mean) the perception that luxury equals to Louis Vuitton monograms, we need to get pass that. There is so much more to Louis Vuitton than just the logo. (Tell that and you’ll offend my aunt and gay cousins)

I fell in LVoe (yes, let’s fall in love with a bag for a change) with the taiga two-way bag.A briefcase and bagpack all in one, a bag perfect for the indecisive. I carrassed that bag erlier today and damn it feels so good!

The taiga was introduced in ’93 and was only available in 2 shades of Grizzli and Grey-- With the introduction of new colours this spring, deep dark cobalt blue, cool steel and natural authentic beige. The question is, how much is it? I wouldn’t want to know so I can keep on dreaming.

Dear Marc, I will work for bags.

DRIES VAN NOTEN, SPRING 2010 MENS.

Dries Van Noten; the best of spring 2010— And it will 'close' the mens spring 2010 post.
The unique artisanal approach at Dries Van Noten with mismatch fabric challenges the imagination. Uncommon textiles for menswear collection, traditional Southeast Asian textiles were reduced to the simplest form – What seems to be Songkets were sculpted into sharp double-breasted jackets. Ironically, the soundtrack that accompanied this modern-ethnic inspired collection was ‘boom boom pow’.
