HELLO! Konnichiwaaa~
It's been a loooooong time ago since I blogged here. Sorry for neglecting you, baby :(
I was super busy this whole semester (well not really) and actually I don't know what to blog. Haha.
Well, now I come to think of it, I haven't told you guys that I went to Japan! WOOHOO!
Last month, on Spring, I went to Osaka to attend a conference. Another conference, I know right.
So, except going there to see presentations and those academic stuffs, I also did some sightseeing. And for the FIRST TIME IN FOREVEEEER, I was travelling ALONE. Yes, ALONE! It was a wonderful, brand new experience for me. I will definitely do it again!

Here are some quick tips (from me) for those who want to travel alone:
1. THROW AWAY everything that make you attached and not enjoying the trip, especially PHONE (even your parents or boy/girlfriend)! It's better to not have free internet connection everywhere (coz it's pretty hard to find in Japan) so you can experience and see new things in that country.
2. Learn a few basic phrases (on that country's language) to survive. At least you know how to ask the price, order food, point this and that, also ask where the TOILET is.
3. Take as many pictures as you can. Everything surrounds you is different from where you came from.
4. Seriously, shopping is not the main point here. Focus on the culture, the streets, foods, everything there. Experience new things by yourself.
5. Planned carefully where you want to go. Which bus to take, which subway line, which exit gate. Seriously, this is important. Otherwise, you'll got lost easily and no idea where to go.

I won't write everything here because it might be as long as a short novel :p

BUSAN FASHION WEEK 2014

8:54 PM

YO! Whats up yo?!

OMG. Why I become this weird?

Hello everyone! I'm back!
I'm sorry for neglecting this blog and didn't really update it. I'm super busy with my things and now I decided to update it again with some flash news on BUSAN FASHION WEEK.

It was sooooooo AWESOME that I can't describe it more than that. 2 years ago, when I was doing the exchange program here, I didn't get a chance to participate this. So when I found out this year also got the Fashion Week, I decided to go. Well, most of the days I went there alone but guess what, IT IS NOT BAD AT ALL! Sorry people, it's not that I don't want to go with friends but honestly, going to this kind of event alone is way better. You'll see what I'm talking about later.

I will post some of the highlights of each show I attended so bear with me.

//DAY 1

OK. First day. I saw the full schedule of the fashion shows in the 'Pret-a-Porter' event and the really famous designers were on the 26th and 27th. Therefore, I went there on the first day just to see the exhibition. Well, I was curious and wanted to know the exhibition. So I went there with my Indonesian friend, Tabita. Just so you know, on the first day of the event, the infamous Girl's Day were there. They're having some fan-signing event but it started at 10am. We arrived there at 2pm but WE SAW THEM! I didn't really know them, so I just snapped some pictures of whoever it is (it turns out to be Mina) then go. HAHA. Because the exhibition was just hmmm.. yea like that so we decided to watch some shows. They had a fashion design contest so we just went in and see what it is. I'm surprised that many student designers are so GOOD! At least I'm happy with it.

//DAY 2

Another perks of going to Fashion Week alone: did nothing but got a VIP ticket
On the second day, I knew that there's one famous Korean designer but I didn't know who he is. I decided to go see his show but before that, I watched a Japanese designer called Ryosuke Egasira (if I didn't spell it wrong) a.k.a RYORYO. His collection were really minimalist yet elegant. 





Then after RYORYO, I was waiting in line for that famous Korean designer called Hwang Jae Geun a.k.a ZÊ QUUN. This is what I'm talking about earlier. I was waiting to get in but then when the staff checked my ticket, it didn't have the seat number. So some staff went in with me inside to exchange the ticket and that's when I saw Jae Geun. I knew it was him because he's bald and everyone inside wants to take picture with him. SO I asked the staff that accompanied me to take a picture for me.


SEE? At least I got a special thing that everyone don't have. It's the perks of going alone to a fashion show HAHAHA. Anyway..







It was an wonderful collection from ZÊ QUUN. BRAVA!

//DAY 3

FINAL DAY! This is the day that we're all waiting for. HA SANG BAEK!
Actually I didn't know who he is at first, then I googled him and found out who he is. He's one of the SUPER FAMOUS fashion designers in Korea. Some of his collection worn by SHINEe so maybe you saw it before in some magazine editorials. So in his show, he talked about how he got the concept for his S/S 2015 collection, the moodboard and everything. After that, the show began.

That's all folks. I hope you enjoy what I'm sharing. If you're a fashion designer, YOU ARE LUCKY FOR READING THIS. If you're just fashion people, YOU TOO ARE LUCKY! You're neither? Well, at least it gives you some knowledge.

Ciao.

P.S. if you want to see the whole collection of these 3 designers, I posted in my Instagram some time-lapse videos of those designers.

Mamechiyo for Shu Uemura

10:58 PM

i'm not a huge fan of makeup, but i do like seeing the packaging of makeup things. i saw these series on Lotte Department Store in Seomyeon, Busan.  that time, i just passed by it but i took a glance of it and saw this beautiful and colorful packaging. i thought "what is that?". then i realized that it's Shu Uemura's booth. the next few days, i saw Nicoline Patricia Malina (one of my favorite photographer) posted a picture of these products in instagram.

i don't know why but i really love kimonos. not because i'm a Japan-addicted person, but the patterns of kimonos are incredible. not as complicated as Batik and it still eye-catchy.

so this is the collaboration of a kimono artist, Mamechiyo, for Shu Uemura.




there are 4 different fragrances; Fuji, Sakura, Botan, and Ume.

i love the colors used and the floral ornaments in each packaging. don't you think so? or you have it already with you?
