lacroix, costumier who embellishes

Speaking of Christian Lacroix, the months of March 2009 to June 2009 saw close to 80 impressive costumes and 60 sketches from the couture designer's personal, as well as the Centre National du Costume de Scène's collections exhibited at the National Museum of Singapore.

The mannequins had to be specially made to fit the dimensions of the costumes worn by the actual theatre actors, actresses and singers, therefore they're not your average generic ones behind the display windows.

"I love extravagant things", says Lacroix. We sure could tell.

Eliogabalo


Cosi fan tutte




Carmen


Phèdre




Les Art Florissants




Les Anges ternis








One of the extravagant things that Lacroix likes is tutu, "It's a mad invention, both magical and surreal". I couldn't agree more, I love tutus too! Now those brightly coloured tutus are making me crave for macarons...

emma, wat?

I have never been a fan of Harry Potter, needless to say I paid no attention to the actors and actresses in the film series. But, Emma Watson's gracing of Teen Vogue August 2009 cover definitely caught my eye, dressed in flamboyant coloured numbers with bold accessories, somehow reminding me of Christian Lacroix's style.

meet nurul

Decked out in a sheer printed top, complete with black knee-high heeled leather boots, my girl cruised the streets of Manchester, all flowy and free-spirited. With a boyish cap and sporty bag as accessories, her contrasting styles get my thumbs-up!

taylored to suit

I love Taylor Momsen's off-screen attitude in her style, the clashes that somewhat match, with a perfect crown to top it off.

Glam meets punk






Sleek and sharp


Three-quartered sleeves never looked cooler




Rocker chic






Worked that tee


Ragged, ain't jaded

These gorgeous pictures of Blake Lively were featured in Vanity Fair during spring/summer 2008 Fashion Week in Paris.

All doll-like with layered tutu skirts

The Pose . That Dress . Against the Background


A touch of masculinity

the closets

I saw this new Heinekien TV advertisement last night even though I was told it was aired in Singapore sometime back, and I couldn't help it but laughed out loud, what creativity! Somehow, I believe the idea stems from Sex and the City, the overwhelming excitement from the boys upon seeing a closet full of their beloved green bottles mirrors that of Carrie's expression when Big finally revealed that amazing, huge walk-in closet to her, only much more exaggerated. Note: Wide-opened mouths are essential in such cases.
