Mantel-itic

hey guys! do you know what is MANTEL? i'm so into mantel. well, actually mantel is a malay word for a CAPE. still don't get it? come! let me show you what is mantel, and please, when i talk, you listen! (LOL)

cape is some kind of.. clothing.. but it only be wear to complete a look. there's no armhole, just place it on your shoulder, and you're ready to rock the world. jyeah!

what i love about cape is that it is a very simple thing, but yet so much to talk about (what!) the most important thing is, it is easy designing a cape, very simple, in fact you could make it less then 10 minutes (really??) because it's dartless (no dart)

but the challenging part is how to make it unique and so you! me, so  i've designed a couple of it. and i love it, but sadly, i can't wear it because it's designed with a model size! too bad!

this is my 1st cape. a structural leather cape inspired by gaga; the mother monster. i almost kill my self doing this. it's hard to handle such a tick leather. thank you miss farah! you are so inspiring!

and this one is my 3rd design for my final collection. and again, i almost kill myself. haha. thank you mr pattern maker E.K for guiding me.

i'm in the mood to design another one, for myself. and still think about the right fabric for it. after that i could wear a mantel! take off those boring cardigan and jacket guys! it's time for some MANTEL

What Men Want

lately, i've been interested with menswear. i don't know why. other than hot models, perhaps i've found that menswear are getting more and more interesting today. actually designing a menswear is quite challenging compare to women wear.

1st, a menswear shouldn't be too OTT, otherwise it will look awkward and a bit girly stuff. secondly, it must be new and unique, never been see before but at the same time still not crossing the line. i'm saluting everyone who are successfully designing menswear because they've done a great job.

people are getting more and more creative today. there's no time for play safe. i wish one day i could have the confident to designing some menswear. anyway, i've tried to myself, and the result is... so... pathetic. LOL! not gonna say about that anymore!

well, i do think men look good in black and white.. but hey! it's 2013! lets play some more colors. the color blocking collection by burberry prorsum summer 2013 is stunning. my eyes would be for gucci, i just love the bags.

 

and this one below probably the new wave of menswear. there're pros and cons. i don't know what to say/ what say you. to me, with the right styling, this could be something wearable for men. if not, no men dare to wear peplum in public! 

BUT! here comes the serious problem especially in Malaysia, you can't be too fashionable, because people will stare at you like you're some kind of pre historical creature. trust me! WHEN I SPEAK YOU LISTEN (lol) anyway, confident is the key!

Hate That I Miss You

I've waited every night for you to call me, but you didn't. so i'll keep on waiting.

Pronounce It Right; GIVENCHY

GIVENCHY is one of my favourite brand. actually i'm quite new with this brand, and i felt in love at this luxury brand for the first sight and that was about year ago when i'm collecting data for my evening wear project back at UiTM.
 

and thanks to mr.google, i found this stunning brand. to be honest. at first i even don't know how to pronounce it, because this is a french brand, so you've to be careful how to pronounce it, otherwise you'll look stupid and pathetic (LOL). this time, thanks to mr.youtube on taught me how to pronounce it right! so the right way to pronounce it is jhee-von-shee. and obviously not ge-vin-chi (that was the 1st time i pronounce it, shame on me!)

what i like about this brand is how they captured the luxury side of each design. that element make every design unique and one of a kind. well, here are some info that you might wanna know about this brand:

- was founded on 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy
-John galliano replaced hubert upon his retirement on 1995, for almost 2 years before he was promoted to christian dior.
-Mcqueen then replaced him.
-Riccardo Tisci took over Givenchy till now, and he's the one who's responsible to bring Givenchy back on top.

what a cool way to start a collection with a cool campaign. and my favorite campaign would be the fall/winter 2012/2013 featured supermodel stella tennant.

their haute couture are the best! the way the play with form and detailing are perfect. and that was the 1st thing i noticed about givenchy. i heard rumors said that they will stop creating their haute couture collection for next season and focusing on their rtw. if that's true, then it would be a sad thing to happen (after the epic troll of end of the world on 21/12/2012. LOL). we want more!

and not forgetting the most memorable mens wear. you know, it's hard to create a good mens wear, but givenchy did it great. and the last season, is my favorite. if i have one, i would wear it for a straight month. LOL. love it love it!
