Edmund Ooi

Edmund Ooi , a 24 year old Malaysian designer studying in Antwerp University presented his immensely cerebral and mentally arresting collection inspired by his ... mom. Trying to find a balance between making them wearable yet being as creative as possible is his main goal in making a piece. I was reading his biography earlier and Im really inspired with his story. He used to be an accounting student back in Malaysia , but due to his promising craft , he was sent to Antwerp University as a scholar. I wish my story would be the same haha. The heeless shoes were perfect for this collection . Heel less shoes are always perfect on anything.

I believe that in fashion- the crazier , the more genius one becomes. and Niels Peeraer is one of them crazy designers to watch out for!

I love that there is a palpable gay content in producing the story of his collection. My brain is exploding as I scan his work one by one. Studying carefully each piece and look for a minute or so , as if memorizing the body parts of a dead frog in a Biology class...

Please, Philippine Fashion! be crazy!

Okay ... Im officially in love with Willar Mateo (Salad day)! ... not romantically , of course. He is a good friend and a very very promising young designer. Yesterday , if my poise and gracefulness dint get in the way , i would have screamed and cried and  jumped all at the same time upon seeing the dress he made for me! we met in the mall..

The dress was placed in a big white box with those cute tiny  stickers on the edges. We all hear people saying "kawaii" and "cute" almost everytime but they will not know what real cuteness means until they meet Willar! He is just full of colors , unadulterated youth and pure whim plus 2% darkness. He is a true artist, indeed!

check his blog... and you'll definitely  reconnect with your colorful childhood.


and i will wear this tonight for the FaDAL event. .. oh well. got to pack things first!
