the entry pumps puma archive



i've been struggling with my sabbatical of partying and events and having my social calendar shrinking to the very least. these days, it is common to find me coming home after a hard day's work of meeting clients and follow-ups, ripping off my toe-jammed socks and attempt a paltry effort to hoop them into the laundry basket, collapse into bed with a decent book, and wake up the next morning with eye poo the size of a diamond carat.

so it was without hesitation that i attended puma's archive event that was at scape. for the uninitated, the puma archive range is a cherished collection of styles inspired by 60 years of sports history and re-issued in up to date colourways and materials. it was pretty much the hyped up event it promised to be. there was loud music, a great line-up of entertainment, awesome people soaking up in each others' awesome-ness, drinking awesome free-flow alcohol.

of course, with yours truly swaddled in quasi-work attire and shorn-off crowning glory, don't expect much pictures of me to begin with. photos were taken with my blackberry that had no light mode function, so they're kinda soft focused. apologies!

and eric on my right ..


even the ceiling lights were adorned with pumps. tad of a literal touch.

he didn't make it through the first round.


how to look hot when you're not: refer to above (just kidding!)




a big thanks to gabe who extended the invitation. i'm so gonna scour for my first archive pumps!

the entry about zara's fall line 2010


look it, peeps! this is the new collection for zara fall/winter 2010.



in this picture, this is some clothing pieces obviously fixated on the younger men who are able to go out wearing so many garments on their bodies: there's drapes on the waist, on the head, on the neck… basically it's a no-brainer for asphyxiation, and sometimes it looks a little like a shop-window mannequin.



it seems the supreme elegance implies the use of ties or bow ties with vests. that is a great thing for those men who like to wear in a formal way even if they attend an informal event.




this time, the vintage aesthetic is represented by a pilot look that reminds us of the first years of the aviation. it includes quilted vests and high boots.



and finally, the urban look includes denim jeans, t-shirts, jackets covered with fur (on the neck), and long variegated jackets made of wool.

and whatever happened to singapore's version of zara? i wonder why, i wonder why.
