Creepers

Bumped into Craig from Bape today and he was wearing these vibrant red Creep Stas. It's a nice direction Bape is going recently, looking back into archives and re-creating the classics. True British style.

Words with EDC and Kevin Poon

Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to prepare a list of questions for a short interview with EDC and Kevin Poon of CLOT. The conversation will give you a closer look into the two and the nuts and bolts of CLOT. The 6th Year Anniversary Book will be out soon.

Dissected

Finally able to put all three different versions together after its first released over a year ago. The quality from Medicom Toys has again slipped from its past products.....what's with the quality control nowadays?

New life

Out with the old, in with the new. Uni life is over and is time to concentrate with my working life. Been absent in this blog due to the workload for the past few weeks. Things will be back to normal now.

Meeting with...

For the final phrases of the feature, I've got the chance to visit Steve's and Susie's place. For those who's not familiar, they are of course Style Salvage and Style Bubble. Within a few years, both have risen to be leaders of the fashion blogging world and have brought us good knowledge and interesting picks from the ever expanding sphere. Credit to them, they have changed the elitists' dominance of the fashion world. Stay tuned...

UNKLE 77 / Haru no Torai

Finally able to track down a version of UNKLE 77 after missing out the original release a few years back. Prefer this version than other "Bape" variants that were available at that time.

Also had the chance to visit the Haru no Torai exhibition at Garbstore on Friday. If you're around Notting Hill, do check it out!

Golden

Bored of your egg fried rice or pasta with tomato sauce? Use this! Also check out their English friendly website for the extensive lineup and recipes.

Meeting with...

Next up, photographer Neil Bedford. Spent a long afternoon talking about the good old days of streetwear. I guess we all grew out of that phrase, but don't we all miss it...

Test Drive

Test driving the new GF-1. Good food, good times, good day.

Meeting with...

Met up with Stephen Mann for the upcoming feature yesterday at the GIMME5 showroom. Had quite an interesting conversation about the nature of online blogs and especially talking about the magazine Monocle, which is a must read. More to follow.

A lovely surprise present from Elibe, Margiela's newest scent. Beautifully packaged, the fragrance has a distinct woodiness aura about it, can't believe it took three years to make this thing.

Finally tracked down a black version of Michael Lau's Snake Square. Although the twist to the normal Square variant is an interesting take, but the quality is a major let down...

Meeting with...

Yesterday I met up with renowned stylist Gemma Kane for an upcoming feature. Had a great afternoon chatting about everything from crocs bags to chatroulette...mad times. Stay tuned.

LEGO adventure continues...

Due to workload...this is still work in progress...watch this space.

LEGO Weekend

Went pass one of the few UK LEGO stores recently and discovered the pirates series is back after more than 10 years of long hiatus. I can still remember my first lego set was an Imperial ship back in 1992, those were the good days. After seeing the new series, me and Elibe decided to get two sets for the Easter weekend ahead...work in progress!

After trying out the HTC Hero for a few months, Sohaib kindly offered me to try out the HD2 model, which is quite similar to the widely popular iPhone. After a few days of trials, I'm still not used to the Windows base system, as I much prefer to the Hero's Android interface. However, the overall experience is great e.g. GIANT screen, amazing animation and fast internet speeds. Looking forward to the new HTC models coming out soon.

2010 F/W Press Days

Went to several press days recently, popped over to anumberofnames, ok-ni, sane and of course my personal favorite, maharishi. 2010 F/W collection will see Bape return to the classic silhouette, no more distracting colors but a lot of classic simple items, definitely a good direction for the future. BBC/Ice Cream will concentrate their attention to British Heritage influences and some surprise collaborations ahead. Fast forward to maharishi, famous for their attention to details, the F/W collection is just a whole different level.

Also got a lovely present from Annoushka from anumberofnames. A nice simple Ice Cream skateboard for home decor.
