Mango After Party

Got invitations to the Mango After Party. As I'm such a Mango fan (I've been consistently contributing to their coffers), I thought I should go take a look and look at their new collection. When I got there, there was a queue snaking all the way towards the carpark ramp already! Most of the guests were gals and some bfs/hubbies.

They got 6 gorgeous models to showcase their new clothes. As we gathered around the dancefloor, I noticed a couple of angmoh guys in the crowd couldn't take their eyes of some of the models. It was quite interesting watching them ogle the girls from head to toe and staring like there was no tomorrow. They were standing like statues with drinks in their hands and speechless. Yeah, I know I'm being nosy parker, but observing the male species' behaviour in the midst of gorgeous women is quite fascinating.

I like this jacket! Glamour!

It was a great night..cos I got the Chic Fashionista Award for the Best Dressed guest. I guess it must have been the hairband. They took me aside and took a Poloraid picture of me, writing down my details. Then about 11-ish, Sharon told me some lady was giving me the once-over, not unlike those lusty angmoh men. Turned out she was the judge who told me I was the winner. 

Anyway, here's my winning outfit - my definition of Simply Chic, theme for the night. Wasn't so sure about the hairband. It's pretty outstanding, and maybe too pink and too sweet-ish. If I were 10 years old, it would be perfect for me. But well, since I'm going pink, might as well go over the top. Yes, hot pink suede heels too!

Here's me posing with my treat for the night...$150 Mango vouchers! Not too bad for an evening...free drinks, free entry, free fashion show, free cocktail, free entertainment and free vouchers! I love freebies!

In case you're wondering about the hair looking different again, yes, it's me and my Vidal Sassoon crimpers at work. 

Alright...Mango here I come!!!

Audi Fashion Festival - Ashley Isham

Singapore-bred, London based fashion designer back in his homeland to display his new collection. I am rather disappointed with the collection. Maybe Isham has been too busy of late. The dresses lacked thought and appeared to me as hastily put together. Scroll down to see why...
Looks like something from the Devil Wears Prada, and not in a good sense. I thought the proportions are poor, with the hips and tummy being emphasized. The black stockings underneath the slit is just too stark and the leather gloves are a clash with the gold brooch.
I think this jacket is much much better. The textured woolen material, coupled with the ribbon and silver thread on the left breast is so classy!
This dress looks almost good. But the choice of grey floral prints just ruins the look, like some curtain or something our "ah sohs" will purchase from the wet market.
Again, a flop for me. The belt is so wrong, cutting up the model's body into two. The layering of the mermaid skirt didn't work. An ordinary woman wearing this gown will gain 3 kgs instantly on her hips, not to mention the suggestive inverted V cut.
I like this dress, except for the colour. Why brown, Ashley!!!??
This black and red ensemble works better. Very dramatic entrance guaranteed if you wear this.
Again, that belt ruins the dress.
Sadly the dress lacks fluidity.

Audi Fashion Festival - Christian Lacroix Couture

Amazing designs from Lacroix featuring plenty of elaborate embroidery, tutu, chiffon, netting, and my favourite element, the printed lace stockings. Love the silhouette of the short red puffed skirt with the champagne gold bustier top. The model looks a bit elvish though haha
