Cracow Fashion Awards 2011

What's happening in Poland? I've been tipped off with the latest from what's occurring on the other side of the Earth - thanks to the technology. And I do love to support young talents and emerging young designers. And this time I'm vouching for young souls from Poland. Cracow Fashion Awards, a Polish contest for young designers, has for the third time opened Cracow Fashion Week. Since 1996, Cracow Fashion Awards has annually promoted emerging talents in fashion design, who have recently graduated from Cracow School of Art and Fashion Design.

Creativity, innovation and individualism have once again hit the catwalk. The event included attendance of fashion lovers, press and celebrities from Poland and Europe. The competition surpassed expectations, delivering fifty-one outstanding collections to an audience of over one thousand people. Each student presented at least eight designs before a jury of Polish and international fashion icons.

See more pictures of CFA collections here. Be inspired!

Ps. Young undisclosed talents are more than welcomed to send in their stories/pictures. :)

Koi Suwannagate

Looks like the excitement of Fashion Night Out hasn’t only sparkled the economy of fashion in just one specific region but worldwide, yes I’m talking about Bangkok International Fashion Week [BIFW].

Koi Suwannagate is an international-based Thai designer whose works are recognized in Hollywood. Her signature includes hand-dyed knitted flowers. The concept here is a redefined capsule collection using light fabric - organza is suitable for humid tropical city such as ours.

K & I - I

I did a quick tour to Siam Paragon to attend one of the most talented Thai designers known as K & I. She's unbelievably young for her current social status - I mean, to perceive such market needs and not to be influenced by 'alter ego' is something. I know, sounds like a big supporter but I really am impressed by her collection.

Attending K&I Show today. Yosawadee & Mob.F tomorrow

I have to excuse my poor images though, there's a good reason for the wacky incident though. The lens is detached so I couldn't adjust F-stop any higher than 3.5 - meaning I'm left with speed shutter as an option. But taking pictures in dark space requires slower speed shutter if I'm gonna shoot with low F-stop. Given that, I had to do panning, not so crisp and clear I know. But hey, I'm so in love with the soundtrack and waiting for tech-guy to pull the video. I plan to post this collection again with clearer pictures & video so you guys can see them in movement :)

The designer I had recently worked with just called. She's having her runway tomorrow and good news is: she used our editorials for flyers with credits given to everyone who worked on that set! I'm becoming 'someone' bit by bit lol

By the way you can check K&I blog at www.kandibkk.blogspot.com (hopefully I get to work on her design one day).

The Will of McQueen

Paris is all about inspirations. If you ask me I think this is the most optimal commemoration to Alexander McQueen's anniversary. Sarah Burton added what seems subliminal to previous collection with a sense of woman's touch, thus enriched the sense of feminism to utmost fanatical. You don't have to agree with me but I think she did an over-zealous job with SS 2011 collection.
