GREEN WITH ENVY

Christophe Decarnin is the shit. He rocks my socks. Debate has been waged if the shoulder pad horror of the 80's is doing a rerun. Theres no question there, it IS back. Though not in the foamy Dynasty way. The new shoulder is more about structure, architectural. Like Balmain's signature military jackets and bejewelled dresses. Why is Jennifer Connelly suddenly in all the hottest pieces (la naman syang career)? last season she was in Balenciaga. And now Balmain. Either shes good friends with both designers, or her stylist is super good. But I like her, compare the runway and the red carpet, she can actually stand in for the model. She. HOT. And those Effing shoes. She copped the whole runway outfit. LUCKY!! Argh. Zara has one thats almost the same, for 8k. And I think its only in GB5.

FROM SPAIN WITH LOVE

I see him everytime I pull out in Zara GB5. And I've always liked his style. So, time for self introductions. Hi, DC. Him: Gerard. He's the retail manager for the GB branch. Of course it's a given that he has to wear Zara, but then with that room full of seperate pieces, it takes an eye for style to create a look that works. Case in point, his pants are actually full length tapered trousers that he gathered up on the knees. Nice. And the electric blue belt gives a touch of color to the monochromatic color scheme. Liking the beret and boat shoes too. Its just, so put together.

CUTE EH

I go: cute shirt.
And then he goes: I made it.
me: Di nga.
him: OO NGA.
me: okay picture.

I heart his Graff style. http://oktoarts.multiply.com/

STRUCTURED MILITARY

Love, love, love the trousers. Designer Jerome Lorico in a Missoni top, trousers, his own design.

IN 3.1 PHILLIP LIM

No one here gets dressed up in a two piece suit for a casual dinner out. Thats why Gilbert rocks because every time we see each other, his outfit always blows me away, liking the contrast but tone on tone piping on the waistcoat and the trouser pockets. Suit by 3.1 Phillip Lim.

TROPICANA

Okay, I've seen how plaid has taken over the guy's wardrobe. I mean, It started off as a hipster's uniform of choice but it can actually be reworked into something new for Summer 2009. I like Robby's interpretation, hello South Americana. Liking the new bermuda length too. Shirt and shorts from Ab-normal Bangkok, Sandals from Vic Barba, Topman hat, Goyard bag

IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE

Imagine magazine will always have a place in my heart. And at the party for its third issue, Cubao X saw the collective style powers of all contributing stylists, photographers, hair/makeup artists and the usual fashion denizens.

Chi in an H&M top, harem pants from Zara, Oxford from Rustan's. Moschino bag and bracelets from Human.

Nixon in Eairth top, Zara leggings, F&H bag, Asics shoes, DIY necklace, and accessories from Nike and Human

Marita channeling Balmain. Treated denim by Kiko Escora

Celine in a 40's inspired ensemble.

I'm liking his pseudo Dashiki shirt.

Garovs being so Japanese.

Rcxy in his own DIY studded shirt.

Oooh, tailored pieces on BJ looks effortless. I like the cuffed hem with sockless oxfords. Fashyown. (Photo by Myrrh Lao To)

Didnt get his name but he rocks the blonde hair!! The slouchy jacket and anti-fit trousers are hot too! (Photo by Myrrh Lao To)

Xtina can practically wear anything and get away with it because she is just so enviously model thin. If i wore those PVC leggings, I'd just look ridiculously fat, but on her it looks, WOW. (Photo by Myrrh Lao To)
