Love for Kate Middleton

I am crazy about the Royal Wedding even after Prince William and Kate Middleton sealed the deal on April 29, 2011. I actually stayed up late to watch the Royal Wedding live in Britain. I know we should now call her Catherine Middleton or Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge, but I think Kate is much cuter.

Here I'm counting down to the top 5 glamorous styles of Kate Middleton. You can't help to fall in love with Kate's style. She is so chic and graceful. Outfits she pull on just looks so high-end and expensive. It's probably due to her aura. She is elegant, full of life and down to earth. I guess that's why people love her so much.

Here it goes...


就算William 王子與 Kate Middleton 已經在2011年4月29日成婚，我還是很瘋這場皇家婚禮，我當天還通宵看英國的現場轉撥，我知道現在應該稱呼她 Catherine Middleton 或是 殿下Cambridge 公爵夫人，但是我覺得Kate 比較可愛。

現在我要來倒數前五名Kate Middleton的時尚造型，愛死了Kate的style，她很時髦又優雅，她穿的衣服看起來很高級又昂貴，可能是她氣質的關係，很高雅，充滿活力又很親切，這就是為什麼人們這麼愛她吧。

結果揭曉...

number 5

Kate is not born a royalty but she sure looks like one. The blue bloods love fancy hats. When some of them looks like chickens and turkeys who are having bad hair days, Kate just looks FAB. (Fabulous) She can really pull off this floral blue number.

Kate 不是皇室出生，但她看起來就很像是，貴族們喜歡花俏的帽子，當有些人戴帽子看起來像頭髮亂掉的a母雞與火雞，Kate就是精彩又迷人 ，她很能駕馭這件藍色花朵的款式。

John Galliano式的出場 . The John Galliano style

當看完最後一個model走秀，接下來觀眾都等著為設計師鼓掌拍手，每個設計師都有不同的謝場風格，我最最期代看到的就是John Galliano 大師的出場，大部份的都是害羞的匆匆露個臉就進後台了，但大師的出場就是不一樣！整場最搶眼，最妖豔的就是他吧！！

以下是John Galliano 最令人驚豔，拍案叫絕的前五名造型：

The audience all await to applause the designer when the last model walks down the runway. In turns of to enter an appearance, every designer does it differently. The designer I look forward the most is Master John Galliano. Most designer bashfully appears for a second then runs back to back stage. Master John Galliano is just outstanding! He catches the most attention in the entire show!

The following is the top 5 outstanding, eye poping,  alien screaming WOW moments of John Galliano's runway style.

The Last McQueen

Hello friends,

Haven't been here quite a while. Yes, I'm like that sometimes. Just don't want to get attach too close to anything. Here is my tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen's late work. I've been working on this illustration for a long time. This is an emotional one for me. I worked on it while listening to the theme song of Schindler's List repeatedly. ( McQueen used the song for his Kate Moss hologram Fall/ Winter 2006 show ) Feeling sad and moody; thus and so this illustration is born.

I remember Lee Alexander McQueen.

好久沒來這裡了，我有時都會這樣，什麼都要保持個距離，這是記念Lee Alexander McQueen 最後作品的插畫，我創作這張圖有很長的一段時間，是有感情的作品，我創作時反複的聽著 Schindler's List 的主題曲 （McQueen 在Fall/ Winter 2006 的Kate Moss 3D投影像 show中使用這首歌當背景）我邊畫感到感傷與情緒化之中，這張圖誕生了。

我記念 Lee Alexander McQueen。


Cheers,
Lavi

曲線新風潮 . A New Curvy Trend

最近時尚界很熱門的話題就是 Size。大家都在講，時尚編輯，設計師，還有我們這些小百性們。 Plus-size模特兒 一直以來都算是時尚界的禁忌，很久很久～都是。現在個個開始浮出臺面，成為時尚界的新寵兒。打頭號的是美麗的Lara Stone。她不能算是標準的Plus-size模特兒體型，但是至少她不是 size 0號。

嘿！對有些人來說在雜誌或伸展台上看到plus-size模特兒會感到不安衝極，須要時間的調適。我必須要承認我也有些感到不適應當我第一次翻看我買的 V 雜誌 Size專刊，裡面有模特兒 Crystal Renn, Candice Huffine, Marquita Pring and Tara Lynn. 第一次翻看的時候感到怪怪的，但之後多看幾次後就覺得跟平常沒什麼不同，有可能是我太習慣於在雜誌裡看到瘦八八像竿子的模特兒，看到不同體型的模特兒，就感覺怪怪的。

我們需要更多曲線型的模特兒在雜誌上！

我很高興 V雜誌著重於讚頌每種體型的美，而不是批評時尚界的虛假。

這些女孩子是戰士，像Crystal Renn在模特兒界站出來，給了許多女孩鼓勵，曲線型的女孩子也是很美麗的，她們也應當在雜誌與伸展台上出現。

最近聽說 Calvin Klein決定不再採用0-2 size的模特兒在伸展台上走秀，之前又是 Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 RTW show採用許多曲線型的模特兒，加拿大新秀設計師 Mark Fast 走紅國際因著在他的 Spring 2010 RTW Show採用許多 plus-size模特兒。

看來是時尚界轉變的徵兆了。

！小常識

在時尚界size 12以上就算是plus-size了。

There's this rave about sizes in fashion these days. Everyone is at it, i do mean everyone! Fashion editors, designers and people like us. Plus-size models have been a taboo in high end fashion for a long long time, feel like centuries long. Now they are rising, like Venus rises above the sea. All of sudden, they are becoming the it girls. The troop is lead by the gorgeous Lara Stone. I can't say she is the curvy kind but at least she is not size 0.

Hey, some might see curvy girls in magazine and on runway as culture shock. People needs time to adjust. I have to admit that I got my share of culture shock when I flipped through V Magazine's Size Issue which I bought from Sophia Books. Magazine features models such as Crystal Renn, Candice Huffine, Marquita Pring and Tara Lynn. I feel a bit uneasy when I look through the magazine for the first time. However, after more reads I see nothing strange at all. Probably because I got so used to see stick looking girls in magazine that actually made me feel strange to see other body type features in magazine.

We need more curvy girls in magazine!

I'm just glad to see V Magazine focus on the beauty of all body types instead of criticizing on the shallowness of the fashion industry.

These girls are fighters. To see girls like Crystal Renn stand tall in the model business gives encouragement to girls every where. Curvy girls are beautiful too! They deserve to be in the magazine and on the runway.

Recently I've heard Calvin Klein made decision not to cast size 0-2 models for their runway show anymore. Also the very curvy casting of Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 RTW. And Canadian designer Mark Fast's rise to international fame when he features many plus-size models for his Spring 2010 RTW show.

A sign of change indeed.

！Fashion Knowledge

Size 12 and up would be consider a plus-size.

Chanel Spring 2010 Couture

春天來啦！
畫了一張很春天的 Chanel Spring Collection，那個頭的造型很有趣，但如果一不小心就會變老氣了。

Spring is here!
Here is a very spring feeling illustration of Chanel Spring Collection I did. Very interesting head styling however can be a bit oldie looking when not careful.
