Posted by Kaka in Style File on Tuesday, May 8, 2012

I couldn't resist posting this Spring season's print mania, "Vision Quest", an editorial from the March issue of Vogue US, photographed by Peter Lindbergh, styled by Tabitha Simmons. I've been so mesmerized by all of the strong presence of prints.

Print and style images, Peter Pilotto, Vera Wang, Reed Krakoff, Lanvin, Roberto Cavalli, Burberry Prorsum, Sportmax, Peter Pilotto, Versace, Prabal Gurung, Dries Van Noten, Erdem, Peter Som, Mary Katrantzou, Balenciaga, Altuzarra, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte and Gucci.

>>STYLE FILE - ELLE CHINA

Posted by Kaka in Style File on Tuesday, January 10, 2012

I'm a collector of magazines and subscribe to countless of them. While I was in China in November on business, to add to my collection I picked up a copy of Elle-China. I loved the inspirations, illustrations and layout of this particular spread of Sofia Coppola as a style icon I had to share. I wish I can read the rest of the article written in Chinese....

>>STYLE FILE - DESIGNER JENNY JI

Posted by Kaka in Style File on Thursday, November 17, 2011

Hello dear friends, my apologies for my lack of posting for the last few days. I was in China on business and had no access to many social media outlets such as Blogger, Twitter and Facebook. China’s government does not allow it’s people to access many “global free to express” sites. Many of us make these social media outlets a living priority that we take for granted… It seems there are ways to break thru by use of a VPN (I tried) but I’m not tech savy enough, nor did I want to risk playing with a hot fire with the Chinese government.

After having so many issues trying to surf thru my regular sites and losing my patience for these to load up since everything is scanned thru the Chinese’s government portal, eventually the sites are either denied or allowed access. My curiosity led me to google “China’s Fashion Designers” to see what would surface. Interestingly there were only a handful that had turned up….

One of my favorite is Jenny Ji, a Shanghainese fashion designer and founder of La Vie. She launched her own fashion label in Tianzifang back in 2002. She is a Milan-trained fashion designer and her fashion icon is Vivienne Tam whom she has met and was inspired to be a creative fashion designer and business woman. Her lookbook photos are so amazingly beautiful and how wonderfully she reinterprets her country’s traditions to something more modern and fashionable. She has stayed true to using her Chinese cultural design inspirations in every fashion collection over the years.

To view Jenny Ji's look books, go to lavie.com.cn, the images below are from her Fall/Winter 2010 PEACOCK lookbook. I chose this particular one because it shows how ahead of the trends she was.

>>STYLE FILE - BOUDICCA COUTURE

Posted by Kaka in Style File on Tuesday, November 1, 2011

I have an obsession with BOUDICCA COUTURE, everything about this collection is so inspirational... the designs, the visuals, the inspirational essays and the music. Go here to visit their site and find locations where they sell their collection.

Boudicca Couture is a London-based label founded by Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby in 1997. They were mainly showcased in galleries and exhibition settings then eventually their designs have become known for their depth and attention to detail. They continue to design their collection with their artistic roots combining fashion and art.

An echo of the past with the future; a reflex from the future into the past. VICTOR HUGO
