CHINESE FASHION?! CROQUIS MENSWEAR BY chinese Fashion Compmany JNBY


China as  the world's factory has produced all kinds of fashion goods to the international market. But no one has heard of any international Chinese fashion brand. Looking at Karl's special “Paris-Shanghai" collection for the opening of an new CHANEL flagship store in Shanghai,  coolie hat and Chinese letters are maybe the only Chinese fashion elements.

JNBY is a female fashion label founded in 1994 in HANGZHOU, China. Now it owns 500 stores and 19 oversea stores and showroom in JAPAN, SINGAPORE, THAILAND, KOREA, SINGAPORE, RUSSIA, SPAIN, FRANCE, CANADA AND in US NYC SOHO.

CROQUIS is a menswear label under JNBY. I can see its influences from DIOR HOMME, RICK OWENS, RAF SIMONS....... But I am still very happy to see a Chinese fashion brand which has some ideas on fashion design.

"The Gentelman GAGA" design by -- KATIE EARY, LONDON FASHION WEEK 2009 NEWGEN DESIGNER

The British Fashion Council has announced the schedule for menswear day which took place on Wednesday 23rd September 2009 at Somerset House, showcasing 25 designers.

Opening with shows will be Carolyn Massey and James Long, recipients of the BFC’s first NEWGEN MEN talent support scheme sponsored by Topman.

Katie Eary is one of the three recipients of this this season’s MAN show. This will be her second show at London Fashion Week when she presents her SS/10 collection in September with MAN.

In 2008, Kate Moss donned a number of Eary pieces for shooting Vogue UK and Roisin Murphy borrowed Eary's gold Swarovski coat on tour with her.

Katie Eary's men's wear design is absolutely the most outrageous...I called her design "The Gentleman GAGA" ...P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face, Mum mum mum mah

Design Crash* Passarella Death Squad VS M/M PARIS


Passarella Death Squad The brand was started in London by Danny Broddle and Emilie Albisser in 2004. They make black/white T-shirts with  hand print graphics. They are proud of using the finest fabric they from Japan. They also presented themselves as a band under the same name. 

Here are some striking graphics from their latest F/W 2009 Collection:

The moment I saw Passarella Death Squad's graphics, I was very impressed but also their works are in the same model or concept with the original works created by M/M Pairs.

Design Crash* UK designer Martine Rose VS Yohji Yamamoto


Martine Rose is one of the featured designers selected to present her work at Fashion East’s menswear installations during the last day of London Fashion Week (February 2009). Her piece now can be purchased from OKI-NI.

Martine Rose's MENSWEAR SHIRT:





THIS new designer talent's work somehow remind me Yohji Yamamoto at first sight. The color and fabric she used, especially the circle pattern definitely can be related to Yohji Yamamoto's Comming soon and other past works.

B*Boy Underwear -- BIG boys sell underwear better


There is one golden rule in underwear advertising campaign -- BIG, BIG, BIG.

B*Boy Ltd is founded by Stevie Stewart and William Baker in UK. William Baker, the creative Director is most well-known for his 13 year career as Kylie Minogue's Creative Director and stylist, and has also worked with a number of different artists including Jamiroquai, Garbage, All Saints, Tricky, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham.

B*Boy's campaign pictures are definitely one of the most sexual and attractive underwear advertising pictures I have ever seen. The company also has one official B'boy online store. Would you like to spend £30.00 to get one of those Bboys?

"I love MJ" HOT graphic design by Lazy Oaf


"Childish" cartoon pop design is not only for street fashion nowadays. Like Louis Vuitton X Takashi Murakami , adidas X Jeremy Scott, cartoon inspired design has been a hit.

I discovered an UK label "Lazy Oaf" from the latest issue of WAD magzine. I am so impressed by its bright pop graphic design. You can buy and check out its T-shirts, reversible sweats and accessories collections from its "Lazy Oaf" online shop.

Here is my favourite item "I love MJ "by "Lazy Oaf". Making the KING OF POP a cartoon version, what a creative idea!!!
