A day to discover local menswear design

Everyone has their right to fight for their dream and future - I was indeed impressed by my design classmates who launched their own fashion label with their passion in Hong Kong, (Yea we all know its hard as there isn't a trend to support local design in HK. Weird but true.)
In the hard time of HK design industry, my friend Derek Chan is brave to start up his design business and named as DEMO. - demonstration of fashion creation and concept in a contemporary but classical way.

For me it's more than just a clothing label - but to express the possibility of contemporary design details, cutting and elements into our daily life.

My very first try on the runway looks from the up-coming DEMO. FW'14 collection.

The royal blue length coat with interesting cut-out details on the elbow; arrow cut and small 'teeth' button on the shirt cuff; a new cut on the pants in grey and black - I was surprise on all those little creative ideas which make the collection interesting.

The details are just good for the daily life yet stylish, simple, not too over but to standout your total look.  I need not to work with the spotlight every single minute and it helps me to make a balance.

Houndtooth check is also a highlight of the collection, it comes with denim in a jacket style, way too easy to strengthen your look along with simple plain shirt and pants.

A neat cut shirts with angled collar, I love the hand feel and thickness of the material and it makes me need not to wear too much for the normal office work in the winter. 

This short pants makes my leg look longer and slimmer by the bias cut too!

How do you feel that small teeth button ? Although it's not too functional, it's indeed the interesting details for the shirt part (yea true it's enough to see so much boring shirt designs in the market)


Trust we are easy to get a simple suit from the mass market but hard to find a way to support local creation because of the accessibility of info. distribution. Let's come with me to get to know, to support HK local designer, and, this is a top reason why I start blogging.

A quick view at Art Basel


I managed to visit Art Basel @ Hong Kong Last week with friend after a whole day work at office (yes some Art refreshment could wake my inner me up to see how beautiful the earth can be). That is an opening night, tons of visitors from different country, champagne, art works, smile, and fun.

Art is not only about a complicated work but a way(media) to show your ideas

A metal form of cheongsam is another way of 80s metal chic?
 Chocolate bar Chocolate bar..... I would like to grab some food at anytime.

Gareth Pugh ?

Yes I look tired but really enjoyed the exhibition :)

First experience with an irreplaceable face cleansing device - Clarisonic ARIA with DEEP PORE detoxifying solution

Fashion is not only about the clothing but to the whole personal image with your unique face, a better skin condition will definitely enhance your total look you developed for yourself.

Yes, true I am facing skin problem too like everyone does..Born to have a sensitive skin with enlarged pores which make me do not dare to try any cleansing machine at the very first moment until I heard the new sonic cleansing machine with formulations from Clarisonic which is specially designed to improve enlarged pores and clogged pores condition which clinically proven to reduce pore appearance reduce by 25% after just 1 use !


Clarisonic ARIA


This is the new deep pore brush head look like - Round in blue and white by anti-bacterial material. Clarisonic team explained the new deep pore brush head is specifically engineered for enlarged and congested pores by the advanced dual-direction motion oscillates back and forth at over 300 movements per second creating fluid forces, to gently flexing and flushing enlarged pores.

Along with the cleansing machine, the whole Deep Pore package also include one deep daily cleanser (made by fruit acids and peppermint leaf extract to help control oil and refine enlarged pores.) plus one detoxifying clay mask (consists Kaolin Clay, Bentonite Clay, Aloe and Chamomile to absorb and detoxify)

BEFORE - I got an oily red face after gym which is the obviously way to show the problem of my enlarged pores... I tried to use the Deep Pore Daily Cleanser with ARIA for the first minute and applied a thin layer of Deep Pore Detoxifying Clay Mask to the clean skin for the next 15 minutes, using ARIA with warm water to help loosen and remove the clay mask thoroughly without irritation.


AFTER - Surprisingly my skin looks brighter, smoother after treatment and the pore appearance has been reduced ! (I do not know how to calculate the % of the performance, but true the pore got smaller in visual)

Millions thanks Style-Tips.com and Clarisonic for inviting me to join the trial and agreed to write a review on their product. I am more than happy to find a way to solve my skin problem.
