VIVIENNE TAM SS2018 Runway Show

 Vivienne Tam presented her SS2018 collection inspired by the action-adventure film, Monster Hunt and its sequel, Monster Hunt 2. It reflects the mountains and river landscapes depicted in the film and features its main character, Wuba. 

 The film's lush imagery finds expression in prints and colors reflecting nature - blues, greens, sands and other earth tones with touches of aurora corals, misty mauves and dusky pinks - rendered in soft denim, cotton twill, silk voile, silk chiffon, lace, and fine mesh.

Signature mesh overlays and hand-crafted embroideries depict Wuba and other mystical creatures such as the double headed crane and fabled nine tailed fox in a magical dreamland where imagination makes all possible. Silhouettes are airy, relaxed and comfortable but are given shape by sash belts at the waist and sleeves and artful gathers.

 East meets West and Yin meets Yang - with a nod to the masculine in boxy, oversized coats and dusters with a Daoist influence to feminine, ruffled dresses with asymmetric hems and ruched blouses with a romantic flair. The collection speaks to a playful journey of the mind, from fantasy to modern, urban chic.

Produced by Bill Kong and directed by Raman Hui, the popular adventure-action film series, Monster Hunt and the Monster Hunt 2, have inspired Tam to create a collection that is visually compelling and underscores the values of tolerance, co-existence, family, friendship, love and hope as denoted in the film, by the unlikely alliance between humans and "monsters".

 The collection was unveiled today in Skylight Clarkson Sq during the Vivienne Tam SS2018 runway fashion show, causing an exciting stir at the finale, when Wuba walked the runway with Vivienne Tam, preparing him to step onto the international stage as Monster Hunt 2 was simultaneously released worldwide by Sony Pictures in major Asian territories and Lionsgate in North America and the United Kingdom.

DIOR Mykonos Pop-up Summer 2018 Capsule Collection

With an azure sea as a backdrop, Nammos village on mykonos is the location chosen by the house for a pop-up store opening june 15^th. its white façade evokes the traditional architecture of the cycladic islands of greece, while its spare geometric lines blend into the natural landscape.

PAUL SMITH SS2018 Collection

Hawaiian graphics are a reference to Paul’s early visits to New York in the Seventies, when he’d return to England with trunks of Hawaiian shirts sourced from SoHo. The billowing shapes and vivid prints on the shirts were popular with customers picking up pieces for Northern Soul nights at Wigan Casino or Sheffield’s King Mojo. This kitsch thrift later gave way to Paul’s own unique floral print shirts, which fast became a design signature.

Floral and aquatic motifs are embroidered onto the satin lapels of tuxedos, hand-painted on leather and appliquéd onto tote bags. The ocean print also makes an appearance on technical outerwear developed in collaboration with factories specializing in performance-wear, bringing modernity and functionality to the collection.

A midnight beach scene on landscape jacquard from Italy’s Limonta mill appears on a bomber jacket for men and blazer for women. The irreverence of Paul Smith is injected in Japanese fish tin graphics on cross-body box bags, belts, shirt pockets and more.

The palette of the collection graduates from soft pastels of cornflower blue and dusty pink through to midnight-tones and French navy, climaxing with striking yellow and hot turquoise.

Tailoring shapes for both men and women nod to Eighties pieces from the Paul Smith archive, in particular the notched lapels, low break points and squared shoulders. Patch-worked floral print dresses play with louche summer shirt collar shapes and Japanese carp dive across silk georgette slips.

Patterned linings take on new life on a brushed cotton two-piece suit for women, where tropical flowers are reverse printed, appearing sun-bleached on the outside but in full colour on the inside.

A relaxed, surf spirit continues across deck chair striped beach bags, printed espadrilles and colourful sandals.

Post-punk and pop dominates the soundtrack with the inclusion of tracks by The Cure and David Essex whilst The Beatles’ Octopus’s Garden echoes the aquatic theme.

夏季的時尚宣傳廣告令人激賞，既有全新的活力，亦帶有永恆的精神。李易峰、Cara Delevingne以及Martin Garrix再次出境由攝影師Sabine Villiard執鏡的A | X Armani Exchange廣告，以一座超現實主義的沙漠為背景，模特兒與巨型的品牌道具互動。輪胎、印章以及心形輪廓等物品被放大、變形，仿佛是透過相機鏡頭進行自拍。諷刺、自由而又玩味十足的態度營造獨特的鏡頭語言，將平凡化為非凡，捕捉該系列年輕而鮮活的精神。
