Inspired: Bed Boys


     Dolce & Gabbana styled this sexy photo shoot for a newly started French fashion magazine Antidote. Shot by photographer Giampalo Sgura, the fashion spread features shoes from D&G's spring/summer 2012 collection. We think the idea of wearing shoes in bed and trashing white bed sheet is just too…sexy! (Click photos to enlarge please!)

Want some Americano on your Wang tee?

I've got coffee stains on my Jack Kerouac book, but never on my pure white Wang tee.

At the beginning of this month, I realized my daily cup of Starbucks Americano has raised its price. Now this global coffee vampire has got the new idea to suck young blood: Designer tees for fashionistas, how about that?

Consider these two dilemmas: 
A: Could it be your worst nightmare if you or someone else splashed coffee on your US$85 Alexander Wang tee? You probably would have killed him, her or yourself.

B: Will you spend US$85 on a coffee-stained tee designed by Alexander Wang for the sake of 40th anniversary of Starbucks?

Crazy or creative? This limited edition tee is now available in US at Starbucks stores and its website. Nordstrom offers international shipping to my home with 40 bucks for shipping cost…it turns me off instantly.

Navy, midnight blue, violet purple, charcoal grey, black and white. The colour palette is dipped with all our favorite colours, all highly wearable. Designer Yigal Azrouël wants this collection to be causal and almost effortless. Think leather waistcoat over white shirt and sweatpants: Is this gent more like a cool dressy game player?

Inspired: New Sports Etiquette

新派運動禮儀。


T by Alexander Wang is always
The top priority in my everyday wardrobe.

Layer the Classic Tank and play it up with
personalized accessories,

I am ready to go to WORK at day and
straight to NIGHT-OUT.

I even wear my French Terry Hoodie
at yoga session.

I LOVE MY CLOTHES AND I WEAR IT, LIVE IT MY WAY.

Featured in the new issue of Wonderland
Alexander Skarsgard dressed up with the T collection,
Is the ideal Wang Man we've been longing to see.

New York Spring 2012 Scrapbook: Antonio Azzuolo

Antonio Azzuolo Spring 2012 Preview
9 Sep 2011

     In his 8th season of menswear line a.a., designer Antonio Azzuolo, the finalist of this year's CFDA/ Vogue Fashion Fund, beautifully executed a showcase of how real men dress today: "A duality between the very tailored, sartorial look and the street." To complete the dressed-up yet rebellious look, models are styled with subtly messy out-of-bed hair, looking handsome in the morning sunlight, no?











Video: The Drums

Money, a great new track from The Drums' new album Portamento. Such a great escape listening to this on Monday morning.
