Quarter Life Crisis


September 17, 2012

by Gracia Ventus




Sup guys! Sorry it’s been a while but I’m trying to get over a mild existentialist crisis at the moment. Just the usual stuff really, pondering on the purpose of life and why we’re trying so hard and whatnot. So far the only reason that’s stopping me from going to the other side is the fear of the unknown, and/or letting down people who care about me. If it’s the latter, does that mean I’m living my life for other people? Man do I sound like a poopy Debbie Downer.

Anyway, fashion month is in full swing but I haven’t been following the shows as diligently I should. So far my favourite show has to be Thom Browne (yes, that guy!) simply because of the amazing craftsmanship which seems to be overshadowed by its quirky prints. In fact I would like to get my hands of this whale print jacket if I could.



Most other collections are beating the same ol’ drums, but others have gone worse *coughhelmutlangcough*. Is there any particular collection I should be looking at?

How to Look Like A Cyborg


September 10, 2012

Continuing last week’s theme (there was a theme!??!) on dressing like an automated superhuman, I bring to you some very delicious deals that will not fail in making you look like Terminator’s spawn, albeit one that’s much more attractive. The secret lies in clean lines, a monochromatic palette, geometric shapes and shiny surfaces.



Topped off with this lovely tote bag from Fendi at 50% off, from $1850 to $907.

My personal favourite

So I’m extremely late in finding this hell of a gem, ie. shoes by Kim Kiroic. Dude is a Shanghai-bred shoemaker who, unlike his peers Uma Wang and Qiu Hao, has never gone overseas for proper schooling. You just can’t get any more authentic than that.

He made those snazzy shoes for the esteemed Korean menswear designer Juun J., whose works I really love, especially when he does his contemporary alien warrior office wears.

Sometimes the boys do have it better.

Once in a blue moon sweater weather comes along and I run around in full-on leathers. After which it gets too hot and I’ll hop in to the nearest air-conditioned building.

Wearing the usual suspects, except for one item. Guess who made the dress.
