City of love and romance, Paris. Paris Fashion Week. Cafes, books, and cigarettes. Cabaret and the Moulin Rouge. Escargo, River Sienne, Eiffel Tower, and the Arc de Triomph and the beautiful French language, words uttered quietly and casually, with an air of nonchalance. The place where the bohemian lifestyle thrives, which I reckon reflects on their style preferences — the “je ne se quoi” quality.
French fashion have always been a thrill to explore. Expressions of elegance and hip differs from other European counterparts like London and Milan. I’m guessing …

Punk. What do you normally associate, fashion-wise at least, with the word? Apart from the music, all I can think of was black, skaterboi-ish-slash-Boy George get up. Affirmed by quite a number of outfits seen during the event, my definition is far from off. But I’m more of the rock chick than an Avril-wannabe, and this was one of the topics that my friend Hannah and I talked about. How do you categorise a particular outfit as punk anyway?

I really can’t set any boundaries for now. I have this faint …

Grey concrete, incessant black and yellow stripes, cold glass windows, metal railings, and the constant cars, buses and jeepneys whizzing past. Welcome to the urban landscape. Though not lacking in colour nor detail, it does make you think of cold, tough detachment. People is key to the connection and their fashion play a notable role in creating the warmth and soul.
Staple to every Urbanista is the “practical” bag. We have to admit that we don’t go clubbing or partying every friggin’ second. Or even be all “fas-yon” each and …

Second is a special call out to Southerners! …

It’s zero-visibility outside, it’s raining not just by the buckets but tons and tons are being dumped onto the flood-prone streets of Manila. I’d imagine if you venture out, you’d drown in it!
This made me think about those of you who went about your daily schedules and have now caught yourselves dressed inappropriately. Oh dear. Drenched is kind enough way of describing your state later on.
This is one of the many days wherein you’d wish you had brought a jacket, umbrella and a pair of wellies with you.
Speaking of outerwear …

After a night with the new batch of tart-tongued graphic misfits in a series of shorts shirts, here is one loser’s shirt short tale of the tongue-in-cheek humour, wit, and brutal honesty captured in a brilliantly satirical horde courtesy of the genius behind the popular t shirt brand, David & Goliath, Mr. Douchebag Todd Goldman.
If winning a pair of purple socks after almost running over a lady out of sheer competitiveness for saying “David & Goliath” backwards had made the experience memorably funny, having to sit through the whole thing …
