Rihanna ripped off Davis LaChapelle's ideas !



Rihanna is def a "good girl gone bad "!
A few days ago we posted the video of her new song S&M ! and we loved it even though it reminded us a lot of David LaChapelle !
Check out this comparison of Rihanna's new video, S&M, and the work of David LaChapelle.
Now she can't pretend anymore ! She just ripped off the whole thing ! Bad Girl RIRI!
According to one source:

“Interns told us that fans were buzzing about the video and wanting to know if David had directed it. Then the phone in the office started ringing off the hook, everyone was like ‘wow it’s amazing – it’s the exact same.’”
Be careful next time you try to steal someone's ideas, don't put all of them in a single video ! Learn from your mistakes ! haha

Kanye West by Karl Lagerfeld for Vman

Karl Lagerfeld shot Kanye West for the cover of Vman. From what we gather, each issue comes with a real US $1 bill stuck in Kanye’s mouth!?

“Our Vman cover. Everything we put out breaks some sort of rule. Karl Lagerfeld and “Some kids from Chicago” -Virgil Abloh

Check a behind the scenes video below.

Keira Knightley is the new face of Tom Ford !


Tom says of Keira:

"I absolutely love Keira. She is spectacular, very professional and I love her spirit. She's beautiful in an English way; she has a little 1940s feel to her face — yet at the same time she always looks so young and modern."

We think she just looks lovely and I perfect for the collection ! But even though we love Tom Ford , how tiring to see this collection in every single spread lately ! Be ready for some more Keira and Tom for the last 6 years !

The song of the day HAS TO BE Rihanna - S&M

Kung Hei Fat Choi !


First I will write this post in red color as we are celebrating Chinese New year and red is the color !
Here is what I learned at the office from my Chinese colleagues:
Generally, the Chinese people prepares for this holiday by making sure everything in their life is in order, or at least under control. By this I mean the house should be clean, rifts or problems should be resolved, clothes worn should be clean or new, etc. At midnight there are fireworks and firecrackers to greet the coming of the new year. The belief behind this is that the noise created by the firecrackers will drive away evil spirits.
Houses are decorated with lights and lanterns. Red is a popular color to wear when ushering in the Chinese New Year.
On our side Chinese new year means days off! So direction Bangkok for a long weekend of Cocooning !
I will post the nice pictures of our stay at Mandarin Oriental, Thai food and especially Thai Pancakes, shopping, temples and relaxing massage places !
See you in a few days and until then :
KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!

Last night at Hometown Dumplings - Yummy Fish Dumplings !








This is definitely a hidden Gem!
Really local place , not the cleanest but by far the best dumplings I've found in Hong Kong so far !
The dumplings are tasty and freshly made every day and a really good thing is the fish dumpling which changes a lot from the usual pork dumplings !
I am also addicted to their baby cucumbers with fresh garlic and garlic chili sauce ! ADDICTIVE !
easy to order as the menu is in English and Chinese ! the best destination for a quick bite at night and really really cheap ! A place to know !

Song of the day - The Like - He's not a boy

Tommy Ton Shoots the Scene at the Couture Shows




















Marc Jacobs' new ad campaign is deja vu ...


When we saw the last cover of Interview Magazine a little while ago we thought : Not only is Marc Jacobs an incredibly talented designer , he is also fearless ! Come on who would rock such a hot outfit when you are a men and even more at 47 years old??!
Marc can really pull of anything, whether it be a scandalous cologne ad, or posing in drag. He is the man.
But now we are kind of lost , sad and disappointed !
When I saw this collection for the first time I thought about how colorful it actually was, so lively and cheerful. On the runway girls wearing flashy but stylish outfits looked gorgeous. Everything seemed to be just perfect. But now examining the ad campaign pictures I give it a second thought!

The pictures have already been seen many times over the last ad campaigns, the photo shoot itself turns the brightness of the colors into something pretty dull and...
Alright Marc loves to play the drag queen for magazines spread but here we are kinda lost...
We got it Andrej Pejic is the new androgyny sensation model , he is cute (yes for the one who still didn't get it , a man is rocking the SS/11 Woman ready to wear collection and yes I am talking of the pictures below! )... But we just think this time Marc arrived a bit to late on the trend ! Lea-T For Ricardo Tisci and Givenchy was a surprise but Marc obviously didn't get the fact that it's pretty difficult to surprise several times with the same recipe! Next time you wanna rock Andrej (that we actually LOVE) on your campaign , please ask the creative team to actually come up with a creative campaign !
But no worries Marc , we still love U!
