Busy with portfolio work and internship interviews for this years' term. Here are the photos I have chosen to show on my portfolio. Thank you to the people who helped me with the shoot.
Katie Eary to me is like an alien name not knowing who she is however her design which is worn by these korean group called BTS and CL from 2ne1 made me look into her background and collection. Both groups suites the outfits really well as it adds hip hop and chic element to their style. It has a minimalistic colours and bold print which screams bold character and identity to its wearer. I personally like Katie's collection as it catches my taste not only in construction of the garments but also with the fabric selections. I think that the clothes are wearable out for casual or occasional events.
The collection is from her SS13 menswear and womenswear collection. You can also check out her online shop for the individual items or if you want to purchase/look at the clothes.

CL wore Katie Eary's Collection for her teaser photos and in her music video for her song Baddest Female.
It's been a while, this blog post is going to be about 2NE1's outfit from their first broadcast appearance for their song called Do You Love Me.
Their outfits draw my attention as they rarely wear dresses (apart from Park Bom, pigtail hairdo) on their broadcast appearance. I like the way that the print adds twist of subtle feminine touch to the dress knowing that the prints are robot part/facial feature which are very masculine.
The designer/brand of the dresses that they wore is none other than Ground Zero. Ground Zero brand is established by duo brothers Eri and Philip Chu in 2008. If you want to know more about them check out their website.
The collection in which the dresses were from was inspired by surrounding robot. It brings balance of femininity in armoury, soft silhouette and the fabric selection.
Here are the dresses which was Ground Zero's S/S13 collection She's Electric.
There has been a song that I'm obsessed with lately it's none other than 2NE1's Falling in Love. Not only that this song is catchy and addictive, the outfits that the girls wore in this video are interesting and trendy.
Some of the clothing that they wore in the music video are very well known designers as well as Balmain, Balenciaga, Peter Pilotto and Mary katrantzou. They rocked the bold prints and colours which flows well with the song concept. The whole concept of their song match well with their outfits throughout the music video.
American Apparel and Kesh Collaboration
For their first broadcast appearance with their single Falling in Love they wore Kesh's collaboration with american apparel. The bold block and monochrome print of their outfits adds a simple and very eye-catchy while they are performing. I was very curious on which designer/brand they were wearing this time and found out its a collaboration with Kesh who's London base artist, which also a good friend of them and american apparel. I want a couple of the kesh collection especially the leggings and the t-shirt that sandara is wearing. Their outfits can be found on the American Apparel online website if your interested to purchase a few of them.
As it has been tremendously hot these days my siblings and I have been begging our dad to take us to the ice cream farm which is located not far away from where we live but he's been too busy with work. However today my dad asked us if we wanted to go to the ice cream farm, of course we said yes. So off we went to the ice cream farm. It was really nice place to relax and cool down with some freshly made ice creams. The barn converted ice cream place has a cooling and calm atmosphere as it wasn't busy when we arrived. The decoration and interior of the barn suits well with the countryside atmosphere. The splash of colour also helps brighten up the place. I would totally want to go back again and again because of the ice cream and the environment. Here's what the ice cream farm looks like.
You know that summer has begun when everyone starts having barbecue, eating ice creams and out in the sun to tan or to have picnic. As most of people in university are now on their summer holidays (my summer holidays has started since last month). I was jealous of the people who are on holiday abroad because of the weather here in England however nowadays the weather have been getting really hot and sunny so I am happy about that. I am also spending my holidays over at my hometown with my family. I will be back in London in two months time, no busy lifestyle for now.
Since I've been back here at my hometown, it has been a very sunny and outrageously hot. I'm very grateful for that because whenever I come over to visit, it always rains or very grey and dull so I can't go out to have fun. Now that the summer has finally started, I can enjoy the nice weather and BBQs. Every summer there is one fruit that I LOVE very much and that is watermelon. I can't explain to you how I love that fruit but I could eat a whole watermelon by myself in a day if I want to. My dad bought two huge watermelons the other day and by the time he finished cutting them in pieces my sister and I already finished the half. It's really cool and refreshing specially in this weather. I haven't been doing anything special for the past week since I am just relaxing and enjoying my time with my family.
Last week was quite an eventful week for the 3rd year fashion and fashion textile students of my university as they just successfully showcased their collections in the Truman Brewery show. I was part of the backstage dressers for the show and I honestly feel amazed by the creative collections that they have worked hard to put together over their last year of their university. I really like a few of the collections in particular are the menswear collection, as they stood out the most in my opinion and they appealed more to me than the womenswear collection. Unfortunately I didn't get a good photo backstage, if I find the image online I will post it up ASAP. Congratulations again to all of the 3rd year fashion and fashion textile students. Goodluck to all of them for the future.
