Wedding Dresses Go Black With Vera Wang
Post by Melody • November 03, 2011 • Post a comment

When it comes to my wedding (which will probably be many years later), I would say I’m pretty traditional and would most likely stick to wearing a white wedding dress on that very special day. When I see any gowns of different color I just don’t think wedding – let alone black. Vera Wang, one of the biggest names in the wedding world, pushes the boundaries of wedding dresses and presents seven black gowns. It’s refreshing and they make a statement but personally, black’s just not for me. Perhaps it would be for you?

This entire look just reads dark and mysterious to me, which is completely contradictory to what I think a wedding should be like. Am I being too narrow-minded that I’m unwilling to accept what could potentially become a new trend?

Post by Melody • October 17, 2011 • Post a comment

Anna Sui, known for her femininity and sophistication, collaborates with Hush Puppies, known for its comfort and casual style, to create a new line of footwear. Their styles seemingly conflict but when put together comes a collection that is retro and authentic as Anna describes it. Hush Puppies footwear brings a new touch of color and texture into Anna’s ultra-feminine, eccentric style. We first saw the collection back in February during New York Fashion Week FW11 and now it is finally available for purchase! See and purchase the full collection here.

Video of the Day: Wong Fu Produces Leehom’s Music Video

I’m sure you all know how amazing Wong Fu Productions is at producing videos – if you don’t know who I’m talking about, where have you been this whole time? Phil, Ted and Wes have produced the music videos for YouTube stars like 7th most subscribed musician on YouTube, David Choi, and rising musical star afterschoolspecial, but never an artist in Asia. And the first time they did, they went big. I’m talking about one of the most highly visible Taiwanese stars, Wang Leehom, who personally sought them out and had them fly over to Asia to produce his newest music video – of which the song wasn’t even released to the public yet!

When the opportunity came around in an e-mail they found in their inbox, they didn’t believe their eyes. As exciting as it sounded, the e-mail just seemed kind of questionable, but not long after the video was put into production. The video has been out for a few days already now, but in case you haven’t seen it, here it is!

See behind-the-scene photos here!

ISA LA Recap

Far East Movement.

After several hours in the sun and nine hours of standing, my body was completely exhausted and my feet were dying but I must say, it was totally worth it. The International Secret Agents Los Angeles (ISA LA) event that took place in Queen Mary on October 1st gathered together the best of the best Asian YouTube stars you could think of plus other top-selling mainstream artists: Far East Movement, B.o.B, Sean Kingston, Jay Park, Wong Fu Productions, AJ Rafael, David Choi, Kevin Wu (KevJumba), Ryan Higa (NigaHiga), Clara C, Cathy Nguyen, and the list goes on. A year ago my cousin introduced me to them and I’ve been hooked ever since. In fact, I’m listening to their songs right now while I’m writing this so you can imagine how excited I was for the event.
