See You On A Dark Night

Calur Villade S/S 2012

I had a lot of fun creating this collection. It was a lot different than what I usually do.“See You On A Dark Night,” takes a minimalistic approach to the aesthetics of Frida Kahlo. Focusing  on the dark, religious vibes which Frida’s style conveys then representing it through modern design. My goal was to create contrast visually. Through colours: black and white, as well as textures creating structure out of light delicate materials, ranging from lace to paper.I wanted to use a range of textures and materials, but to not go crazy with colour. And I was extremely happy with the result.


In other news I dyed my entire grey head of hair lagoon blue. I quite like it.

Sorry for the sad face. The homework and late nights are getting to me.

Also I was featured in Seventeen Magazine Malaysia as one of their Top Young Fashion Bloggers. You can check out the post here.

That was pretty cool. I am not a reader of seventeen magazine, unless I am in a doctors office or on the john (tmi). But I am super honoured. Especially because I was featured by a magazine in a country so very far away from Canada.

Anyhow, hope your all had a great weekend. It was Thanksgiving in Canada so I am currently in-between having a food baby and going into a food coma.
Expect a proper outfit post sometime later this week!
