Kanchan Couture

Last Thursday I attended an Eco Fashion show by Kanchan Couture to celebrate her labels 2nd year in the industry. It is easy to see why she has made it thus far, her collection is full of surprises! She uses all kinds of colour combinations and textures. From bright shocking pinks and greens in sheen silks to soft pale blues and creams. She also plays around a lot with shape. Some garments were very structured for those who need to add a bit to there body lines and some were soft and flowing for those who already have curvy lines. The designs were both modern and classic. It was an interesting showcase as there really was something for everyone. The brand is called Kanchan Couture but make no mistake Kanchan Panjabi has everything from couture gowns to super chic daywear. She also does custom pieces and bridal gowns. If your looking for something new and innovative look no further!

Lisa T

Lisa T is an amazing designer based right here in Hong Kong. 

Her use of fine Italian cashmeres, heavy knits, crochet and special yarns give her pieces an elegant look that can be both dressed up or incredibly simple. I loved the fine detailing on her garments and the fact that she designs for every women. She has pieces that would suit the young and old, dramatic and classic. Her colour combinations are soft and romantic and should make anyone feel beautiful.

Currently you can find her clothing at the Four Seasons Spa, but don't be fooled it is much more then spa wear.

Fall Fashion

Hello Everyone,

So its official autumn is here! There are pumpkin's in the stores and your calenders are starting to pile up with holiday festivities. Its time to put away the summer sun dresses and pull out the sweater dresses. Although its now the fall/winter season that doesn't mean shove anything with colour in it to the back of the wardrobe. There are a lot of great colours that are hot this season.

A great way to add a little colour to your outfit, is by adding an accessory like a scarf and with chunky knits being everywhere this season you will be looking like a true fashionista. Be careful with your proportions and remember to keep things balanced.

If your unsure of your proportions try booking a style consultation where you learn all about it, plus the looks that truly suit you!

Drashta

So I went to preview the Drashta collection at Maya Boutique yesterday and all I can say is "Wow". What a beautiful eye this young woman has. Her collection was refreshing and unique. The silhouettes of her garments really accentuate a woman's figure and I love that! The collection used very rich fabrics and colour combinations that are great for the holiday season but could be carried over into spring. I fell in love with her bib necklaces (by the way are a HUGE trend this season, if you didn't already know) they were romantic and flirty and came in great colours. Adding one of her bib necklaces to any outfit would make a statement.

The only downside to this event was that all the garments were sample size and for a few of us thats just not going to work, but don't fear all of her pieces are custom made so when you do fall in love with that special piece it will fit you like a glove. Boutique, 43 Hollywood Road

How to do a daytime eye.

So many of my clients come to me asking how to do a daytime eye. Many people find it easier to do a night eye as they can just keep adding on. The key for doing a day eye is having the right colours. You want colours that show on your skin tone but also enhance your eyes and make them "pop". The firsts step in achieving this is to have a good eye base. An eye base will set the eye lid up for the shadows you will put on it. It also will keep the shadow on longer and show the true colour. You then need a colour palette that works with your natural colouring. This will depend on your eye, hair and skin. You want a natural colour palette that you can add onto for a night look. First you will start with a highlight to accent your brow bone. Then you will add the contour on your lid, you will need a good eye liner and accent colour for really opening up your eyes. You finish the eye with a blend that ties the whole look together.
