TOP Fashion: SS14 Agyness Deyn for Dr.Martens

TOP Fashion: SS14 Agyness Deyn for Dr.Martens

“It’s great to have the freedom to play in so many style camps with the Docs girl. 

I was obsessing over the euphoria of summer and found that Docs has roots all the way into the early Venice Beach hardcore scene.

The inspiration is extremely laid-back, low key beach rat.”

- Agyness Deyn, Top model

 

Now you’re talking British…and cool.

For the fourth time, these two British icons AGYNESS DEYN & DR. MARTENS have came together to create a range of boylish & stylish shoes and wardrobe to gear up your SS2014.

 

The inspiration for her fourth collection in collaboration with the brand comes from her new LA home, and the surf and punk scene from the late 70’s and 80’s.

 

 

And here comes my favourite --

TOP Fashion : Pedder Red 2014 x Marta Grossi Banana Graffiti Exhibition

TOP Fashion : Pedder Red 2014 x Marta Grossi Banana Graffiti Exhibition 

Last week, I went to Pedder Red's ss2014 launch, what was interesting was that they teamed up with banana graffiti artist Marta Grossi to present the shoes, and my god was the room going bababa-nanana like minions singing!

This season Pedder Red has invited italian designer Marta Grossi to design some bananas and also to style the shoot of this season's shoes. Each season, Pedder Red invites different designers and artists to collaborate to bring more fun to their presentation.

This season, Pedder Red has 4 different streams from the main collection, the "exotic contortions", "strap act", " walk the line" and "peekaboo magic", they also have "roll up" as their special cross over collection. 

The stripes collection, known as "Walk the line" is a basic black and white themed collection, with easy slip ons for everyday use.

The "strap act" is another one of my favourite, cause it means the gladiator heel is back!

The banana graffiti collection itself involves a banana decorated by Marta Grossi (maximum 3 days storage according to the sign), and paired with a shoe she feels matches together. The whole package is styled by Marta Grossi herself.

The "exotic contortions" have some really nice cute clutch! I don't know about those clown flats tho..

Hope you have enjoyed my little snaps from the exhibition! do check out their shoes at Pedder Red this season if you're in the mood for some circus fun!

Stay on TOP!

TOP Fashion: Yoga-chic!

TOP Fashion: Yoga-chic!

Miss L and I had the opportunity to go to a yoga class today and experience a new yoga clothing brand called "A day with Fe". We had a yoga class in Sheung Wan on this beautiful sunny day, and my god our balance is way off after the holidays! A day with Fe is a brand by a lovely mom called Fe, who used to have a very stressful life until she became a yogi, and then she realised yoga clothes are either too athletic looking or too "ritual" looking to be worn daily, so she did her own version instead!

During the class, we wore her Ambre Black Tank top and these lovely Luxe leggings (click to find out more about it), L had Lucky green and i opt for a subtle taupe. What I love about these leggins is that they're very flattering, L and I have different body shape, size and height, and look at both of our legs! 

The catalogue of the brand is covered by a big HK map, which has points marked on how a day with Fe would be like, it shows where she will have her morning walk, her lunch etc, which is quite cool to know how a yoga clothing designer lives. 

Another piece that I very much adore is this Ballerina inspired short coverup, its called the Orientale and the fabric is very skin hugging but soft at the same time, it's a perfect post work-out coverup.

  

Last but not least, a photo with Fe. In this picture I'm wearing one of the tube dresses from her resort line the Humeur which is a sllky flowy maxi dress but with a little bit of edge, the print is not just floral but...

Sunglasses, lunch box and converse! cool right?

A day with Fe is now currently an e-shop, but they will have their first showroom in Hollywood Road in March, 2014. Fe was so kind to give our readers a 15% off coupon code to shop on  http://adaywithfe.com/ , just remember to use this code ADWF15GIRLSOT at check out.

Hope you girls will enjoy it!

Stay on TOP! (and practice your balance...)

TOP Events : Jewellery with Emotions - John Hardy

TOP Events : Jewellery with Emotions - John Hardy 

John Hardy is a jewelry line that’s for sale in Lane Crawford.
Lots of people might not be too familiar with this brand, so let us tell you the story....

John Hardy is a brand based in Bali. Their artisans are locally trained and based in Bali.
And, they are very particular about giving back to the community. Each jewelry is individually crafted, therefore, each piece is different. It changes with the artisans mood and emotion.

One special thing about their sterling silver jewelry is that it is smoothen and soften out by hand.
Each bracelet, or necklace reaches to a level of softness with the artisan’s hard hard hard work.
Try it, it's really hard to soften silver by hand, okay?

At this event, John Hardy flew one of their artisans to Hong Kong to demonstrate their work.
The artisan was very concentrated despite the number of guests walking around and taking pictures of him.
FOCUS is their key. Well, it's the key to do anything well. 




Therefore, when the CEO told us his origin of setting up the brand, we hope that he and his team can continue to focus on their initial goal of preserving traditional craftsmanship and not be distracted by profit-making!

So does John Hardy jewellery showcase this to you? Be sure to have a look at the collection, and see if you can tell the difference between two identical bracelets. 

It could be possible that one was made in a very hyper mood, and one in a very calm mood, or vice versa.
It's up to your choice (and luck) to connect to which mood, and which piece of jewellery.

TOP Fashion : Hailey & Sasha - Customise your intimate wardrobe + giveaway!

TOP fashion: Hailey & Sasha, little Miss bra-fitter

'I stayed in a factory in Taiwan long enough to learn every basic about bra production,
that's more than a master degree.'

- Stephanie Poon, CEO & lingerie designer, Hailey & Sasha

Yancy and Stephanie, Hailey & Sasha pretend-to-be LOL

Just like the two girls here on Girls on TOP, Hailey and Sasha stands for two different girls - Hailey the poise and elegant OL lady and Sasha, the very outgoing, vibrant girl. 

 

Each season, there is a Hailey line and a Sasha line, and inside the two main collections each Bra is named after different girls' name, representing each unique individual.

It all started when Stephanie was not able to find the perfect bra.
In Taiwan, the land of perfect looking bustlines, not finding the right bra can make your life miserable.

'I am very keen on feeling comfortable, and the style has to match my taste, but there just doesn't seem to be enough on the market for me. So, four years ago when I met my business partner who is in the lingerie business, I began to learn in his studio for a very long time, and then decided to start this brand,' said Stephanie.

 

'Wiring is the most important. Wiring can changes the shape of your breast, and bad wiring will lead to potential health issue. I think the wiring is the most fundamental, as it defines the beauty and the functionality of a bra.'

'It is nice to show off bust line occasionally, but it has to look good and feel good 360 degrees at all times. When you dress yourself, people do not only look at you from the front, there are views from the side and the back, too. Some cultures may aim for a big push-up, but I think the push-up has to look natural from every direction.'

Hailey & Sasha has vibrant swimwear line as well!

'Custom made are great for people who can't find the perfect bra, we have many different kinds of bra templates to choose from. You can also choose the lace, colour, straps and decorations as well. I'm very keen on not changing the basic fabric, as it changes the tension of the bra, hence changing the shape. 

Personalized bras are great as gifts for bachelorette parties, and if boyfriends want to get something that will make both himself and his girls happy, it is a great choice.'

If you girls are picky on bras, sure you will be even more selective on swimwear to show off your nice figures.

Yes, it's Girl on TOP giveaway time again.

TOP Fashion: J.E.W.D. statement jacket

TOP Fashion: J.E.W.D. statement jacket

"At some point you will dislike your job,
At certain point you will have some low time;That is not the end,

That is your turning point,
and it happned for us 7-8 years ago."

- Julio the designer; Edwin the producer;
Terry the PR and accessories designer, J.E.W.D

Jesus - Eternity - Worship - Darah

One of the reasons why L started this blog is to support local brands,
learn more about them, and see what we can do together,
to make the world a better place.

And we invite you, to hop on this journey with us.
This time, with J.E.W.D, broadcasting live, at their studio.

Timeless fashion to bring out Christianity

"This brand is a kind of self therapy for us,
it brings positivity.
We want to use this brand to change our lives,
as well as others' lives.

Clothing is just the commercial stepping stone."

Creative channel to spread out hymns

"We want to bring real happiness through mental inspiration as well.
In the future, we want to develop into different collaborations, books, wine, toys...
so that all can have a chance to meet god in a new way."

  

Designer Julio's belief  -  the existence of parallel universe

 "I believe that each amazing thing has two sides --
-- Spiritual and Earthy -- God and fashion --
The two worlds must balance so that something magical can be made."

Worship, Rock n' Roll Style

"You say my clothings are on the dark side and contradict God?I'd say my design is just futuristic.
I want to transport my wearer through time space,
like star trek,
you see people slide through layers and sent to a different world,
that’s my interpretation of time space with lots of lines in my work."

Local Hong Kong brand that did not go localized

"At first our clothes are more accepted in Europe than in HK.
Because people are lacking creativity from heart here.
I can't really see anyone wearing something strong like a statement jacket." 

"But after Vogue, Elle, GQ all came to our event at Paris Fashion week,

we received drastic difference in the amount of feedback.
HK Showroom are suddenly interested in us."

"Ultimately, we want to use LVMH as a blueprint,

inspire fresh grads to mentor their own brands,
slowly turn it into a fashion group. We don’t know how long it will take,
but we hope it will happen one day (and asap)."

these are two jackets
