London collections Mens

I don't know why i've left this post hovering in the drafts for such a long time. I have been pretty busy lately, i'm currently gaining some work experience as a trend forecaster (fashion psychic) and next week I'll be hopping into an architects office to have a taste of that sectre too~

So the time has finally come for the world to recognise menswear designers as this year was the debut of London collection Mens. I'm so happy about this, i'm a very big fan of  menswear/unisex. Thanks to this showcase i've been exposed to even more drool worthy collections <3

We got invites/tickets to go see Alex Mattson and Cassette Playa when actually we didn't even need one, you could just freely walk in and out, all that hassle about the timing for nothing. (on the cards the time overlapped and we were all worried, all the show's ended up being really short)

The video's intense, showing the scarification rituals in Papua New Guinea, kayapo body art in Amazonia and UK teen rites. The Amazonian and British culture so different in a number of similar ways. Very adreneline rushing, love it!

Some of the images used are a bit graphic, but man up and just watch it!
The song used is so good too! 

i-D wrote an interesting piece on it, and our picture was posted alongside it. Ohohohooo~
 Forever a happy powerbabe!

After talking to Carri we all attempted to fit in this neverending lift which went on every floor except the one we wanted, squashed with another 3 fashionable guys~
2 of which somehow ended up hanging out with us for the whole day. Kota Okuda (you may have seen his picture from LFW all over tumblr here and Taka his friend.

After a short McD's break we headed off to see a bunch of other installations all under one roof. The Carlton gardens, it's right next to St.James Park and it absolutely stunning inside, so grand~

We were welcomed by packed lunches and wraps. ......

Me so happy

This collection was one of my favourites. The bold pastel blues and neon greens certainly makes a bold statement, but with the black detailing they're brought back to casual wear so it's much easier to pull off.
I need to get my hands on some of this collections.

 Men in lace, YES!!! (Plus it's in neon, bonus+)

T.LIPOP
Drawing inspiration from Mexican culture, in a clash between the classical Mexican technical cuts and the attitude of the west coast American Mexican Cholo movement.
Lipop has used vibrant, bold colours  Minimimal yett the seams, cutting techniques stand in contrast as complex, a lovely mix. 'Less is more aesthetic'/

The models were meant to have a 'post rave' feel with sweaty looking skin, and 'DIY' hair. no idea why? But it

Amazing, just amazing. Seeing it in the pictures don't justify just how amazing these pieces were.
 #1 Fan as soon as i laid my eyes on these beauties.
With sponsorship from swarovski elements making a futuristic ad mythical headpiece.
Their signature style is something like a dark avant-garde, with a fantastical edge,  giving the collection a wholly British air of both nostalgia and rebellion, overall such exquisite artwork.
As much as i love the pieces, just to add the fairy dust on top, it;s all made in London. MA PEOPLE!

A group of 4 very fashionable Japanese men were roaming the floors leaving sparkles of awesomeness as they'd walk past us.
We encountered each other a few times and every time we did they'd smile (and stare in awe), or say "hi", they were lovely! I want them~
 If you don't know they work at an amazing brand called GR8 Tokyo, which makes shoes that the guy's rocking~

The lovely man with the stunning blue eyes who kindly let us in gave came out to give us seconds then thirds of these fancy 'POD' packed lunches.

We then skipped to this chinese restaurant behing China town for some DIM SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. Best dim sum ever, prawn, duck, bbq'd, sweet chilly, fried, steamed, pancakes....and chicken feet?

Bad Man in duh ChinaTown

So, damn testeeeeh

HALLELUJAH~ Fried custard bun ~HALLELUJAH

Joels lovely weeaboo edit, appreciate the ice-cream!

I took a fair amount of pictures, however, my laptop's decided to retire and isn't allowing me to do anything that i desire. Time for an upgrade! 
~I'll update sometime with some other pictures~

Late in Tate with Cassette Playa

Last Friday Emmie, Dodo, Marie, Ananya, Siqi went to Tate britain since we heard that one of our favourite designer Cassette Playa was holding a photobooth/gif maker.
I just found out about 'Late at Tate'. Apparantly, Tate Britain host cool events after closing hours on the first Friday of every month. This was my first time hearing about it and I'm sure i'll be going to many more in the future. There's a loevly atmosphere with live music playing, drinks for sale, and alot of people to mingle with. 

Being the derps we are we all went to the wrong Tate. For some of you that don't know there're 2 Tate gallerys: Tate Modern and Tate britain. We were meant to meet at 6pm. The only person to use their brain had to wait for the dumb dumbs for an hour. Sorry Siqi ;A; 

We arrived just in time to see the fashion show. So we followed them in~

Mmmm those abs

 They stopped every now and then at different parts of the museum. 

We escaped from the dementor-like models and the large crowds to go hunt down the photobooth. On our journey we bumped into quite a few people. Dodo saw a few of her school friends, i saw an ex-gymnastic classmate. And the amazing Carri <3

The lovely Joel. That was a big surprise since we all love his blog, him and all his amazing clothes. He came alone so we dragged him along with us ^^

We have reached our destination!

This was the Gif we made!

As soon as we got out Carri floated in. We had a chat with her about the most randomest things. She pointed out Emmie's Kent accent. I didn't even realise, skills right there.

As we were walking out Carri wished me a happy birthday and all my friends reply "You too"..........could you get any derpier?

She actually sparkles and shines like that in real life!

Yay, Heron Preston <3

Carri tweeted this picture of us! I love it <3

As we were leaving there were DJ's playing some really good tunes. My body automatically started dancing, couldn't help myself. How could you not whine to Sean Paul? Although, the music being played was really good, hardly anyone was dancing, unless you count bopping in the same spot 'dancing'? Eventually, my friends dragged me away before they all exploded out of embarrassment and hunger.

~Spot my twerk team~

We wanted to see Akala perform but we all got hungry and bored waiting, plus, Joel had to catch the last train back home. I hope we can meet up with him again for another adventure together 8D

 Off the Victoria we go to stuff our faces in McDonalds! 

I love you guys <3
