Les feuilles mortes - Shoes

Fall is the perfect time to go British. I picked the Marc Jacob Mary Jane pumps and Nicholas Kirkwood printed pumps for the looks. Match with bow ties, wool check blazers, nerdy glasses, satchels or even suspenders, anything reminds you the British style. For Mary Jane pumps, I always put on a pair of knee-high socks. It gives a hint of vintage and retro as well. The orange color on the Nicholas pumps is full of autumn. 

Dress like a Japanese Lady

I've been comparing the fashion in North America with Asian fashion. Most of my friends just listen to me and don't really care. 

Even nowadays, kimono is still commonly seen in Japan, especially regions like Osaka. I own a piece since I was practicing Japanese dance during high school. It is made of silk and in the colour of lilac and purple. There are sakura (cherry blossom) and crane all over it.

What is your colour this fall?

This Christian Dior dress is BIG in design and textiles. By using thousands of meters of fabrics, the designer precisely composed each layer together, well-demonstrating the famous “structure” in a Dior dress.

LEAVES - Tang Chiew Ling

Crafted from things we see or even touch everyday, Malaysian freelance graphic designer, Tang Chiew Ling, wow-ed the audience with another creative and elegance design. 

Fond of little things which are accessible everywhere, Tang has been inspired with cotton, books and so on. This time, "Fashion in Leaves" was inspired by leaves and fashion. She found some special leaves to re-illustrate what fashion means to her. From night gown to maxi dress, from freshly mint to deadly brown, these leaves portraits the finest lines.

You'll probably see some familiar faces from these simple and fun designs. It's like fashion, people don't want complications sometimes.
