IM'MA REBEL by narcissisthephotographer

This is my latest shoot, IM'MA REBEL by narcissisthephotographer. It was inspired by the idea of a hang over where what my friends and I used, n some still do, do after clubbing. We would wait for the first train and that is the time you see people going to markets and kids playing in playgrounds. Therefore, wardrobe wise was inspired to have a chic, glam, rebellious look. Merging these 2 different themes into one. Thus, the caption: "watch your night turn into day".

AUDI FASHION FESTIVAL 2012

Audi Fashion Festival 2012 is around the corner. Last year, I shot for the whole event. This year I'll be back! Commencing this coming Monday, 14th May 2012, this 7-day festival will surely be The Fashion Event of the year. Not forgetting the launch of the new Audi car! Last year, it was the Audi A7 Sportback, I really wonder what will be launched for this year's festival! Catch me at the Tentage outside of Ngee Ann City Mall during that period! Who knows.. you might even see Lady Gaga there!

Music & Men's Fashion Week 2012 Day 2

The second day of Music & Men's Fashion Week 2012 showcased Korean Fashion with Korean labels from beyond closet to the Vandalist Collection to Resurrection to D. Gnak and finally concluding with The General Idea Show.

Beyond Closet kicked started Korean Night with their colorful range of apparel. It was interesting merges of more than 2 colors in their outfits. 

Following which was the Vandalist Collection where the outfits were mostly black yet very stylist in its own nature. I love a lot of the pieces from this collection as it was loud to a certain extent despite the use of just one color(black). The headdresses they wore made everything seem so dark and evil. It kinda reminded me of the Death Eaters from the Harry Potter Series.

Another stunning collection followed with Resurrection leading the Runway with interesting designs using black and dirty green colors. Of all the runways on this day, I enjoyed looking at Resurrection's collection the most. I loved the details of not just the main apparels but the accessories used like the gloves, shoes, headphones, etc. They were really nice and more suited for Singapore's weather. Not to walk all over Orchard Road though, but to go for events with.

After a lot of hype from the Vandalist Collection and Resurrection, many were surprised and highly entertained with D. Gnak's show. It was themed after the Charlie Chaplin concept. Models strutted down the runway dressed in D. Gnak's collection looking like many versions of Charlie Chaplin. It was the most entertaining runway at Men's Fashion Week from my point of view. We did not see serious models with smizes and booty tooches. Though the collection did not wow me as much as the previous 2, it was a really fun show to watch. D. Gnak's collection ended with the models coming out with no bowler's hats but a drawn tear drop on their right eyes.

The temperatures dropped with the General Idea show featuring colorful winter wear. It's pretty inappropriate to wear such outfits in Singapore without getting stared at, however, it is a must-buy if you are a fashionista traveling to a cold country. Before this day, I never knew how interesting colors could be in an outfit!

Music & Men's Fashion Week 2012 Day 1

Men's Fashion Week opened up with a Charity Night on the 18th of April 2012 featuring 2 fashion labels, Spencer Hart(UK) and Songzio(Korea). With it's theme for this year, Music and Fashion; 8eight and Sungha Jung and Megan Lee performed in between the 2 runway shows. Men's Fashion Week began with a full-house blast of VVIPs, VIPs, designers, celebrities, model agents and loads of other guests. 

The first fashion show featured Spencer Hart. Celebrities, such as P Diddy, Taylor Hackford and Benedict Cumberbatch, who attended the Oscar's Ceremony have worn pieces of Spencer Hart's collection. Though more on the formal side, some of these pieces have different cuts to differentiate itself from each design. Personally, my favorite piece from Spencer Hart's collection is the pic below. I feel it is unique with its fusion of mandarin collar and trench coat feel.

After Spencer Hart's show, 8eight performed. Following which was Songzio's collection.

Songzio's collection was stunning! There were pieces which I would have worn if Singapore wasn't as hot. However, though simple(no fanciful patterns), the designs were very interestingly put together for this runway. With it's subtle, edgy look, I would definitely want to own some pieces from Songzio's collection. Below is my favorite outfit from his showcase. I love the sleeves which ends off with a different material and how the pants is styled together with it to bring about an awesome, edgy look.

Robinson's Fashion Show at Avalon Social

Last night, I had a call from a friend that Robinson's was doing a Fashion Show at Avalon. I rushed down within the hour to catch the stunning outfits of their S/S collection. The models of course, managed to create the atmosphere with the various tracks they were playing ranging from modern pop to classical pieces from before I was born. As the genre of songs changed, so did the clothes. From more fun, modern clothes, to dresses and evening wear.

Life of the MFW VIP!

Men's Fashion Week VIP Fashion Night took place on the 22nd of March 2012 at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. This is the second consecutive year Men's Fashion Week has taken place in Singapore. This year, there would be 19 shows taking place with an expected turn out of 50,000 guests.  Designers such as Nick Hart, Hisashi Fukatami, Richard Chai and Alexis Mabille will be there to showcase their pieces alongside returning labels like Songzio, Bodybound and Reckless Erica. There will be many more designers who will be flying down to showcase their works for this event. Men's Fashion Week 2012 commences on the 18th of April to the 22nd of April, starting with the Opening Charity Night, showcasing 2 designers, internationally acclaimed Korean designer, Songzio, and Hollywood designer, Spencer Hart.

It's my second year attending Men's Fashion Week, and so far.. I'm enjoying it! I attended the MFW VIP Fashion Night to be amazed that the event was not enclosed to just an area in the Marina Bay Sands. There were different bars where you could stop at to see different things. At one of the bars, I came across this open-concept changing room where models were preparing for the event. At the glass windows, there were 3 models standing and posing with different labels on them(as below). Apart from these bars, there were stations around the Marina Bay Sands where you could get photos taken and printed, get airbrush tattoos, get popcorn and candy floss. These were free for VIP guest of the Men's Fashion Week VIP Fashion Night. However, shoppers who spent a certain amount at the Marina Bay Sands, could redeem it. 

 Models stood wearing clothes from the various labels and held up stands which showed the label they were using.

I stumbled across Kien, founder of Senatus, and Benedict Goh, celebrity at the Men's Fashion Week VIP Fashion Night.

I saw this young pianist located at the middle of the event, playing on the grand piano which looked a lot bigger than him. Envy - he is so talented at such a young age!

I stumbled across many friends at the event. Below, on your right, is Wesley Chui, a make-up artist who I've worked with with some of my shoots.

Then, there is Jed(below, left), who I see at most events. HAHA!

 Above, is Ebru(top, left), who works at Brands Fever. She is really a nice and approachable person. 

 I met Shavonne(top, right) at the event too! She is another young fashion photographer with promising talent. Really enjoy looking at her works. 

Then, there is Jen(top, left) who came later on after closing up her shop Litmus at The Central, Clarke Quay. She is one designer willing to help anyone out.

 Men's Fashion Week 2012! here I come...
