Alexander Wang

By

To be honest, Alexander Wang’s collection did not do anything for me before. 2010 Spring RTW was just way too sporty for me, and I could not understand why all the fashion bloggers were praising him to death. His designs seem way too simple and lack the feminine details, and also it’s not like I can buy them since his dresses are like $400 a piece Well, I was proven to be wrong.. I saw these dresses today and love these! Love the simple cut, and the twisted detail in the shoulder strap. I would love to have this, but it’s $435…darn it.

I like the combination of light denim and white in this one. Perfect for working girl!

Rumi from Fashion Toast has a great giveaway of Alexander Wang bag. Entry is from here, but there are already more than 1000 entries… 🙁

You can totally wear summer clothes in winter too!

By

I’ve been slacking off lately and taking photos of creations at home. I know there is a better lighting outside, but I just can’t get myself together to do a photoshoot outside now. Too cold!

Here is a little maxi dress I made last week for the shop. I made myself one in brown (slightly different design) before, and been wearing a lot, regardless of the weather. In summer, I wear it by itself, but right now, I pair it with a chunky sweater cardigan, short jacket, neckwarmer and sometimes earmuffs. I also wear thick leggings inside when I go out.

I really should have gotten more of this fabric. For some reasons, I only got 2 meter of it:(
I love this blue color, with some kind of ethnic print all over. I got this in Nippori.
I got this faux-leather jacket before New Year. It was 50% off! But a week later, my sister got the same one in brown, for 75% off! I should have waited a week longer to buy! Oh well…

New business card design

By

Remember I wrote about not being able to come up with a new business card design on my own? A talented photographer & graphic designer, Samantha Nandez kindly offered to design Vivat Veritas logo and business card! I was so excited, and was more excited to see the design she came up with. I love the VV with a tiny flower, and I think it represents my brand well (feminine, and simple). I’m amazed that she can design things based on my idea, since I didn’t even know what I wanted the logo and design to look like myself. I just told her, “I like purple color”, “hmmm girly!” or “I love floral patterns” or something.

Check our more of her work on her flickr and facebook page! She is an amazing fashion photographer.
