it's time for the menswear designers to get the spotlight! You know what, I honestly cannot wait to shop for my boyfriend. haha maybe next time when we get married and have a shared account or something and when the "shopping" responsibilities are mine....muahahahaha! (oops...wait, i think my boyfriend gets my blog posts on his facebook feeds)

# I believe the last two looks were from Jason & Wykidd ;) Can't say it with absolute confidence though it's hard to photograph and report at the same time. Please forgive me!

mens' fashion week 2011

design by G.I.L. Homme (korea)


I know I'm a girl, and well...technically, these clothes aren't for me. But i still find myself picking out looks that i want to wear. haha plus when you hear the passion of the MFW team that drives this event forward, you can't help but be inspired as well. I must say I am really happy to be a witness to this event and the MFW team and designers can feel proud of being the DNA of this inaugural event - i mean, Singapore is placed 3rd in the world after paris and milan to host such a distinguished men's fashion event!! Of course, the MFW team is also the first in Asia ;) With spokesmen like Utt (MTV VJ), Phillip Huang (Internationally Acclaimed Model) and Julian Hee (Singaporean Actor) together with young designers & their collections all over asia, this sounds to be a promising event.

Tickets, available at Marina Bay Sands Office or Sistic.

Chat: Depression

Throughout my life or rather my educational career, I have at times been in "states of depression" where I don't know where I'm going and I don't know what I want to do. I used to like take my own "off day" from school (my parents were well aware, don't worry) go to a cafe with my notebook and a cup of coffee and contemplate, brainstorm and release my frustrations on what my future career was going to be. I guess i never exactly found a career that appealed to me greatly until I graduated and started to "play" and just explore and experiment. That's when I found photography and felt that ok, I'm going to be a photographer.

So when I met the guys Andrew and Kenny from Depression, their stories really spoke to me because I realized that there's always this state of frustration or slight depression that makes you want to do something. One just has to break out of it and then the creative juices are free to flow.

Sitting down on this metal bench in the concrete plastered store at Parco with the guys. Kenny turns on the music and grabbing their starbucks, we settled in to chat about how the guys started on this adventure and the story behind their name.



"I was an art director at an advertising agency," says Andrew, as he pulled up a stool near to the laptop "I was there for 10 years and Kenny was the copy writer and we worked as a team there. Advertising is fun for me, but the creative culture is still rather conservative in the asian market. So this really made me feel like doing something that is my own."

"We were at yakun that time and had just quit our jobs" explains Kenny "and we felt depressed with no direction. So we came up with the name Depression. It's also very anti-establishment because most names are very positive and happy. But for us it's more important to have a reaction then to have no reaction."

"We wanted to do something that impacted people's lives more directly and still create things." says Kenny as he takes a sip of his green tea latte. "Fashion is just a different canvas for us. It's a great satisfaction when you see people wearing our designs."
