DKNY Jeans Fall Winter 2010

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the DKNY Jeans Fall Winter 2010 runway presentation at Paragon Shopping Mall (Singapore). Set amidst the centre atrium of the vast mall, the runway was a huge raised platform styled to resemble a New York street highway. Perfect setting for the high energy show that follows.

The collection was youthful and vibrant, giving Fall Winter season a much needed lift off heavy moods. Deep pinks, neon yellows were the bright accents that breathe life to sombre hues of black, greys and khakis. Some looks which themed around military styling are my favourites, with a pair of womens olive colour harem pants being the most noteworthy. There is also a long fur vest which is luxe and perfectly in tune to this season 'all things furry' chase. The guys and girls strode along confidently amidst the fabulous runway track and sound system. This is what fashion shows should be all about! Something upbeat, fun and lots of eye candy to drool over:-P

Thank you Club 21 for the invite!

Looking forward to attending more events from you guys!

DKNY Spring Summer 2010 Show At Ferrari Showroom, 18 March

Had a wonderful time last night attending the DKNY Spring Summer 2010 Show at the Ferrari Showroom. It's not everyday you get to see a Ferrari up close and personal while posing for pictures with those coveted set of wheels:-)

But the highlight of the night is not the car or the booze or the cool DKNY clothes.

Here's my top 3 memorable things of the evening:

1) Godfrey Gao from Taiwan graced the event! He is so tall, handsome and macho (to quote Rachel Zoe..'I die"!), that we see hordes of fan girls and boys swarming around him for photo taking. I must admit I am one of them. He made me feel like a dwarf standing next to him although I am considered tall at 1.79cm height.

2) Next are the disturbing scenes of models slipping and falling. The poor girls (almost all of them) suffered the fate of slippery floor boards and we see them missing a foothold and took a tumble onto the ground. That must hurt! Ouch! Seriously, we feel more concerned than amused about falling models. So no laughing at models where you see them fall down. It's not easy walking on such tall heels. I am always amazed how they can balanced themselves. Organisers of the show, please use better friction surfaces next time for the catwalk!

3) Last but the most memorable out of the 3 things... it's the wardrobe malfunction! One model fell and her tube dress slipped off on one side and we get a 'privy' into some x-rated moments. Poor girl did not realised her dress was undone and continued walking for a distance. I guess many photographers must have captured the 'exposé'. I feel so bad for the girl. Hope she is okay!

Thank you to Club 21 for the invitation. Was a fun night of star gazing, model drooling and some 'restricted audience' moments. Nice meeting other bloggers and friends too:-P

DKNY Spring 2010 Show, 18 March 2010

After doing a creative presentation at an ex prison compound for CK Calvin Klein, Club 21 is again throwing another fabulous event at the Ferrari Showroom tonight. I wonder will it grab as much media exposure as CK's one of a kind 'Prison' presentation?

Hope it will be just as fun! Angelababy (Hong Kong) and Godfrey Gao (Taiwan) will grace the party:-)

DKNY's Spring collection is themed City in Bloom. A collection stroked with vibrant florals, scribbles and bold abstracts in a frenzy of fresh summer hues. Clothes that are full of joy and colours, celebrating the dynamism of urban life.

Me and friends are headed down tonight. Will take as many pics as I can:-)

My Shoe Collection #22

DKNY Gold Leather And Mesh Sneakers

I am pretty good at sniffing out a good bargain during sale time. Even for the most underdog items or labels. So one fine day a few years back while shopping at Isetan Wisma Atria, Men's Department, I came across this pair of beautiful gold trainers by DKNY. At that time, metallic colours for men were never heard of...this pair of trainers was over the top and pushing boundaries for most men. Hence, even when I did not buy it at the first instance I saw it, I could still get my hands on it during sale time. So in the end, I paid a good price for a pair of shoe which is still very relevant till this day.

Made from a fabric mesh material with gold metallic leather and a blue suede trim, this pair of sneakers is light weight and comfortable. More fashionable than sports performance.

Retail price: Approx. SGD $119. Where to buy: DKNY Counter at Isetan, Wisma Atria
