HURRY UP, WE'RE DREAMING!

Hurry up, we're dreaming!

12.30.12

Let me just say that 2013 will be THE year. I can feel lots of collaborations and manifestations happening. Remember what George Bernard Shaw said:

“If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have ONE apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have TWO ideas.”

On that note, I am incredibly excited to show you this collaboration I've been working on with lead designer Vianca Frazier at STRANGE VIXENS, she does mostly Womenswear... but she's been thinking about a Menswear collection. This is her first time dipping into Menswear. Who better to start with other than me! Hehe! I wanted a full pleather outfit (pullover + shorts). The silhouette should be modern, sporty, and minimal — a mix of Givenchy and Juun J. and Alexander Wang.

Since this is a photo-heavy post, I have to contain my excitement and let you feast on the visuals. If the Apocalypse did happened, this would be my post-Apocalypse party outfit. And yes, everything is better in leather!

BONUS+++

     Since I completely forgot to post these photos, I will dispense them now. Out of all the highlights in 2012, this would be my most favorite. A spontaneous trip to San Francisco with my good friends Will and Patrick (and Erienne but she was stuck in Hayward and missing in action. LOL.) We bought our tickets 1 month ahead, without knowing about hurricane Sandy and all of the disastrous weather in NYC. Because of the hurricane, we got stuck in SF; from what was planned as a 3-day weekend birthday trip turned into an extended full week of spontaneity, new connections, and lovely weather.

LOVE AND LET LOVE.

see you next year!
