PRADA + MIU MIU FALL/WINTER 2009 Lookbook
Posted by ilyana | Filed under Fashion
Took some quick shots of the PRADA and miu miu lookbooks I got from my recent visit to the local boutiques with the BFF. These shots were originally for my homeboi, Aaron, whom sadly doesn’t have miu miu in his country. It’s alright bb, you can sleep blissfully at night knowing that I’ll send you the lookbooks via airmail for every season for as long as I remain in Singapore lol.
I love Miuccia Prada so much I’m just willing to call her my second mother, how fabulous would it be to have a closet full of PRADA and miu miu? Make no mistake though, I’m usually much tougher on my fave high fashion labels and PRADA F/W 2009 was a complete disaster omg. I remember wincing at almost every look presented, those chunky and very loose thigh-high boots which were completely unflattering and suitable only for the fish market. Well whatever, that was so last season - Miuccia has since reclaimed herself with the new S/S 2010 collection so I shall be nice and purge the F/W 2009 collection out of my memory.
Surprisingly the lookbook was very well done lol, they actually made a shit collection seem presentable? That is a mark of some extraordinary art direction! It’s contemporary with influences from graphic design, mmm design eye candy makes me happy any day.
miumiu’s lookbook is more traditional with the usual runway shots. The collection was so much better than PRADA’s so it was apt that they showed more runway shots, they had backstage shots as well which is always cool in my books; the whole notion of “behind-the-scenes” is more fascinating anyway, just look at the last photo with the pretty shoe porn! Stunning.
Ok I’m tired of all the fashion drama, a beauty entry is coming up next on tea noir! ;D
Til next time~

LANVIN SPRING/SUMMER 2010
Posted by ilyana | Filed under Fashion
If my wardrobe was based solely on one high-fashion label, I would pick LANVIN anyday. This is the best S/S 2010 collection EVERRRR. Let’s talk some fast fashion: My top 3 fave. collections: 1) LANVIN 2) PRADA 3) CHANEL. The WTF-IS-GOING-ON collection goes to Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs, please WAKE UP and understand that you’re designing for a luxury brand not a bunch of HARAJUKU GERLZ.
Til next time~

I SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.

If you’re following me on twitter, you would probably know that about 2 weeks ago, I was tweeting about going dirt broke because I bought something ridiculously expensive and that I prolly had to eat soba for the rest of my life.
I didn’t tell anyone what I bought (save for my BFFs) and purposely kept it a secret because I didn’t exactly “purchase” it myself and I didn’t want to jinx anything because I didn’t receive it until yesterday.
OH YES I DID!
Good luck with...
