COACH
www.coach.com

Coach seems to have undergone a revival with it's new bags.

I'm a fan of big roomy bags where u can stuff everything in like a book, documents, makeup pouch, purse, ipod and perhaps even leave space for a hair dryer. (i do actually know someone that carry's a hairdryer with her almost everywhere she goes)

So the new coach bags fit the bill to a T. They're roomy and compartmentalized ie functional AND they're really chic!

Newest: Daphne Canvas Large Metallic Satchel US$698

Also new: Legacy Cotton Signature Hobo US$378
This is my favourite out of all! It comes in full leather as well and is gorgeous in white and brown

The Legacy Signature Tote US$398
I prefer the hobo but some would prefer a tote i reckon. Also comes in leather

Signature Ombre Framed Clutch
Not a big fan of mini bags but this is rather endearing..

Prada Marfa

I've been wanting to blog about this for so long. The fusion of fashion and installation art.


Image hosting by Photobucket
Berlin artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingmar Dragset are installation artists of a different kind. Prada Marfa is currently installed along Highway 90 in the desert just outside Marfa, Texas. Art Review, October 2005 calls this a "project about using existing icons and succintly juxstaposing them to form a seductively uncomfortable personality clash."

The sculpture/installation is looks eerily like a prada store, with minimalist white stucco walls and a window display housing Prada's hangbags and shoes (handpicked by Muccio Prada herself) from the fall collection. But there is no working door.

Texas' most famous outdoor sculpture is probably the weather-worn, graffiti-covered "Cadillac Ranch" outside of Amarillo. Prada Marfa may never outlast those bodies by Fisher, but it's already become the most talked about sculpture of the 21st Century - despite the puny traffic count of highway 90.

Last Summer in Sicily

Massimo Dutti Spring Summer 2006

Image hosting by Photobucket

One of my highlights of walking down Regent Street from Picadilly circus was the Massimo Dutti store display. Spring, Summer or Winter, their store displays were impeccable. The first couple of times i gaped and lingered outside. Eventually the pull of the 3 story store was irresistable.

I personally love the spanish equivalent of high street brands, zara, mango, pull & bear, Bershka. But often neglected is Massimo Dutti. True the prices there are a little bit steeper, but their clothes are well cut and extremely classy. Instead of frocks that last a season or two, their designs are definitely timeless. Massimo Dutti presents a complete variety of lines, ranging from the more urban and sophisticated to the more sporty. Basic and modern styles made with latest generation fabrics, the highest of quality and innovative mixes results in an impeccable image with the guarantee of maximum comfort.

I couldn't get photos of their spring summer 06 collection as their website is in flash and i'm a technodino...

Now their Regent Street store in London even does tailoring for men. Saville Row cuts with some european sass for 300-400 quid.

OOoh la la ~~

Image hosting by Photobucketwww.singaporefashionfestival.com.sg

was held at the purpose built white tent in Ngee Ann City Civic plaza. Something to be proud of, not only did it host established and up&coming local designers, it started off with a bang with British model Lily Cole for Ferrangamo and included a host of renown names such as JPG, Diane von Furstenberg (who's new boutique in SG is due to open soon), Missoni, etc.

The Shows
I only got to catch The Link's Alldressedup show last Monday night. That was exciting! The french cafe/lounge music with the pretty yet practical Morrocan/Japanese-inspired spring summer frocks, it certainly exceeded expectations. Something worth checking out. No photos found yet but you could try www.thelink.com.sg
