In the afternoon of 3rd June, St Martin’s church was filled up with a sense of primitivism, wildness and mystery created by Jess Eaton’s recycled “Roadkill Couture” collection, showcasing couture pieces made of feathers, furs and from body parts of animals that have died naturally or been killed for food. The models dressed in a tight fitted leather dress which accentuated perfectly the female curves coordinated with a luxurious bolero jacket made from rat skin or a billowing cape made from a horse tail and accessorized with a pheasant skull necklace and a beautiful bird wing fascinator effortlessly exuded raw sex appeal and an innate sense of sensuality and seduction, which were a magnet to the audiences under the stage.

The designer used the colour black to convey mystery, sexiness, sophistication and elegance. This signature big bird wing hat served as the main focus of the outfit.

I was thrilled to be among the supermodels and celebrities at the cocktail reception at the most anticipated Hong Kong Fashion Extravaganza 2011 for Hong Kong Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2011 showcasing some internationally renowned fashion designers’ latest collections. The glamorous cocktail reception and the dazzling show were held at the magnificent Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre with panoramic sea view. While the breathtaking designer collections were being presented on the runway, the guests all dressed up stylistically for the show were having their own fashion parade below the stage. Beautiful clothes for beautiful people, doesn’t it sound cool?

Bein’ 17 years old, Hong Kong Fashion Week’s evolved into one of the biggest and most glamorous fashion events of its kind in the world, and I was thrilled it drew in not only the Hong Kong-based designers but also the leadin’ ones frm the Asia-Pacific region and around the globe to present their latest collections for Spring/Summer 2011. The Norwegian designer Espen Salberg who’s been based in Bali, Indonesia for nearly 4 years where he cultivates his interests for fashion design’s one of ‘em.

Espen Salberg Spring/Summer 2011 collection runway show titled “Non Solo Bianco” took place on the mornin’ of 6th July, the 2nd day of Hong Kong Fashion Week in the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. The stage’s clean, modern and was minimally set to allow audiences to focus on the collection itself. As the name “Non Solo Bianco” meanin’ not only white in Italian suggests, there’re more colors other than white in tis collection, which color palette ranges frm white, beige and black to animal and black/white graphic prints. The collection consists of 5 groups, separatin’ for day and evenin’ as well as short cocktail and evenin’ gowns. The inspiration’s the cool feelin’ the color white givs to a sun-kissed skin but not only.
