Great Skirts

Love these two styles (from sartorialist). The first girl is my favorite and I would love to try making this skirt she has on (looks like a stiffer kind of polyester/cotton fabric) but as I study closer it looks like some kind of madness to make the darts and must be some magic on the fabric so it will actually not pleat and hold up like an umbrella.

The second skirt I love as well as it is very elegant and really enhance the hour glass shape of a women's body. Timeless!

Antwerp Fashion Show 2007

A follow up on the Fashion Show, a video by Diane Pernet, just a glimpse of what's going on in the prestigious student show.

There are also more detailed videos about the show here (too many videos so I am not going to post here)

Maxi Dress

I am quite surprised as I actually started to take a closer look at this Maxi Dress (very long dress) style that I see Nicole Rickie wearing a lot of times. It struck me that how a petite frame can actually carry this long flowy style - and all the sudden I remember one day when I was in the hair salon a petite girl with some gorgeous tan walks in with this beige maxi dress which look absolutely breathtaking. I wish I had a camera on and was brave enough to take pictures of her at that time. So since then I am slowly convinced that it is a style that I would try in the near future.

I went on looking for one but its not an easy task. Ones from T-bags (which they are almost specilized in making these printed maxi dress) are like $200+ a flock. Then I went to ASOS and saw some really cheap print design version of the maxi dress and I couldn't made myself to buy it just to try the style. But there is this leopard print maxi dress that looks really sensual on the model, I was so tempted to buy it but I am not sure if I could carry it well, or have any place that I could wear it and not get harassed. What do you think of the style?

Holy smokes...what a dress, what a woman

Can't put this in word, this is just a stunning look! (from Diane's blog)

Love the color, love the fabric, love stam!

Spotted some great Dior ads, really love this new stuff from Dior, look so much like Gucci from the Tom Ford era but i can still see the doll like style that Galliano specialized in. Love that clingy second skin like fabric that just glides on the body, the green tube dress with the back skirt detail is so amazing...

Really cute and amazingly long ad for LV in Japan. Anime style, reminds me of the famous anime "My Neighbor Totoro" by Hayao Miyazaki. Enjoy~
