Hermès Men’s Fall-Winter 2021 Collection


[Luxury Fashion]

Hermès launches their Men’s Fall-Winter 2021 Collection – a collection that encourages us to renew the movement of the world. Inside-outside, the clothes leave their framework, offering a palette of games of lines and colours: a source of energy. They bridge different worlds: from the inside to the outside and vice-versa.
Hybrid and practical, the garments are both casual and elegant. Voluptuous or compact materials run headlong into each other in audacious associations that blur the line between formal and informal.
Graphic signatures, distorted pockets, playfully asymmetrical. Borrowed from saddlery, the piqûres étrivière or piqûres filantes are discreetly visible. Graphic lines and geometrical variations design optimistic illusions of movement. An invitation to stroll; energy of journeys.
One wants comfort. The quest for suppleness and relaxation is expressed by reduced dimensions and pants with drawstring waists.
The colours — cumin, glycin, H red, frost blue — are here playfully blended with tones of liquorice, pepper and petroleum blue.
The collection features parkas with hood, biker blousons with high collar, zipped straight blousons with contrasted double stitched pocket, over-shirts with hood or zipped with high collar, zipped straight blousons, over-shirts or zipped tee-shirts with saddle stitching, cardigans with zipped high collar in trompe-l’œil, jogging pants and more.
Materials used notably includes deerskin, lambskin, babylamb, calfskin, wool, cashmere and silk, 180s wool, cotton poplin, water-repellent technical canvas, and wool flannel.

The Hermès boutique in Pavilion KL is located at:
Lot 2.17.00, Level 2, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur,
168, Jalan Bukit Bintang,
Bukit Bintang,
55100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

FENDI Colibrì Shoes

 
FENDI launched their new Colibri collection of shoes from the the Spring/Summer 2018 Collection, introducing a new style, incorporating the Tropical Futurism mood, which perfectly embodies FENDI’s passion for craftsmanship and obsession for innovation. The new Colibri shoes collection is the culmination of the highest savoir-faire with the most innovative technology, designed for a contemporary and elegant woman always looking for a fashionable and cool touch.
“The Colibrì shoes are very interesting as we have used a very innovative technique normally used for sneakers and ready-to-wear, as they are all thermo-heated so they are without no seams. It’s a very technical kind of finishing combined with unique craftsmanship as the heels are complete hand-made in Rattan,” continues Silvia Venturini Fendi.
Their extreme lightness together with the multicolour and pointed front toe inspire their name, Colibrì, taking its characteristics from the homonymous tropical bird. The collection was created in printed mesh with tartan and flower versions or in monocolour with colour contrast combinations, including a sporty feeling given by the detail string on the ankles.
Available as sophisticated over the knee boots, sling back and flats. A unique twist is given by the ankle socks in checks and multicolour lines, that give an additional touch to the flats and sling back shoes, together with the FF logo calf-high stockings and tights.
An extremely high-tech workmanship characterises the Colibrì shoes, the thermo-heated ribbon details, that usually is used in ready-to-wear, applied on the mesh make this shoe very light and unstructured symbolising modernity meeting with traditions and savoir-faire.
Rattan heels in natural color and dark brown give an exclusivity savoir-faire allure to the Colibrì shoes, as they are completely handmade. Each straw and is cut one by one, twisted and positioned on the heels for a unique touch.
The new Colibri collection is currently available in FENDI Boutiques and on http://www.fendi.com

H&M Loves Coachella Collection (2017)


[Fashion]

 
This year’s campaign for H&M Loves Coachella will feature an exclusive new video by The Atomics, the alternative pop band of Lucky Blue Smith and his sisters Pyper America, Starlie and Daisy Clementine. In the video, The Atomics cover Let’s Live For Today by The Grass Roots, showing Coachella’s influence beyond the festival.
H&M Loves Coachella is an exclusive collection in collaboration with one of the world’s greatest festivals. The collection is about capturing that festival spirit whether you’re lucky enough to be in the Californian desert, or sharing the Coachella feeling around the world.
“H&M Loves Coachella has all the pieces to get the festival spirit, wherever you are in the world,” says The Atomics.
“We loved collaborating with the Coachella team for this collection. They gave us such great feedback on our designs,” says Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M’s Head of Design and Creative Director.
Key pieces in this year’s H&M Loves Coachella ladies collection include the sheer black lace spaghetti-strap dress, worn with blue-tinted sunglasses. Lace-trimmed slip-dresses have festival attitude layered over the hand-drawn Coachella tees, while the essential floral-embroidered denim jacket is perfect over a metallic body with a sheer powder-pink pleated mesh skirt. For the ultimate festival style, there’s the essential hoodie and also a metallic anorak, plus a black body suit with an open-laced back.
 
                                                                                                                     
 
 
For men, it’s about the perfect tie-dye T-shirt with matching tie-dye drawstring shorts. A white cotton tank has gothic Coachella graphics on the back and the cut-off denim shorts has biker details at the knee, for a sharp Coachella mix. Meanwhile an Ikat printed short sleeve shirt makes the perfect layered look together with a pair of faded festival jeans.
 
                                                                                                            
 
H&M Loves Coachella will be available in the US from March 23 and globally from March 30 in all H&M stores.

With me was MHB’s Chenelle and her friend

The show started off with the contestants of the Roxy Girl Search strutting their stuff on the runway.

Roxy is a brand designed for the ladies; which features their signature bikinis, dresses, shorts and funky accessories, showcasing their latest trendy prints to vibrant spring colours.
The theme of the Roxy show, “Dare Yourself” is all about going places, trying new things, being spontaneous, dream big and live a unique life as the brand encourages girls to be fun, alive, daring, confident & naturally beautiful. 
After the show by the Roxy Girl Search finalists, the Roxy models took to the stage.

Then it was time for the Quiksilver show. The Quiksilver’s collection featured a range from the brand’s core of boardriding from the Quiksilver Original signature boardshorts, T-shirts, denims, sweater, shirts and accessories.
The theme for the Quiksilver show – “Enjoy the Style” is all about inviting people to experience and enjoy the world; which encourages everyone to awake their inner spirit of surfing from within.

The girls went wild when the male models came out

There was even a kidwear show featuring some child models which included Amber Chia’s son Ashton
