Pre-Fall 2011: Asian Americans - Vera Wang, Jason Wu, Doo.Ri & Thakoon

Vera Wang

I absolutely loved the preppy schoolgirl vibe at Vera Wang's Pre-Fall 2011 collection, and the stunning long drapey gowns (the ivory & purple in particular):

My favourite pieces were those with a simple silhouettes, and also, colour blocked:

Agyness Deyn's Dark Side in "Mean to Me" Short Film

Agyness Deyn's Dark Side

"Mean to Me" by McDermott and McGough

via nowness.com

Model Agyness Deyn plays a raven-haired vamp in Mean To Me, a short film noir directed by artist duo David McDermott and Peter McGough. Shot in the latter’s anachronous 1932 Manhattan apartment, replete with art deco furniture, Deyn seduces on screen in Zac Posen’s pitch-perfect gowns, and an iridescent string of Mikimoto pearls.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Akira Isogawa Resort 2011

As you may already know, I am a huge fan of Akira Isogawa. I recently realized I never posted his Resort 2011 collection, and hastily came to amend this. From the nude & soft palette, to beautiful embroidery & beading, and the airiness of the tulle, Akira's Resort 2011 collection has a beautiful lightness to it, which lends itself beautiful to lots of layering. Many of the outfits below comprise of 3 or 4 separate pieces worn together, and tied in with a (or many) beautiful accessory, be it an embellished tulle scarf, a shibori necklace and/or cute brooches:
