I have officially graduated (nonetheless I still do not know my status whether I did pass or I have to retain. However I know that my attendance is of perfect level and my classes feedback are of average B+++++++. Yes, not A, because each guru gave me a 69 and not 70) for my Diploma! That's my shoes shoes shoes for M R B L.

I don't know if it's just plain coincidence but I have said this repeatedly to everyone why and how's life in Singapore currently. I came here at the right time and place. How right?

Well, the fact that our Fashion Dept. has been collaborating with Korean Universities and professors and we'll have an exchange program.
The fact that I am the youngest graduate in the year for diploma (I'm still 18YO ya'll!) and the college's timetable has given me freedom to do all sorts of things I like to do, and what they didn't teach me doing.
The fact that I had remembered my old childish dream to want to meet/work with the stars I was a fan of, (those were the days of a better Hollywood and when TV was still safe for kids like me watching Kenan & Kel sputtering "my orange soda?!") and I simply wanted to become either a movie director because I get to meet them plus boss them around or an actress itself so I get to work with them.

It all came back after I had a couple jobs to fill in my experience when I'm now a journo for Korea.com / Whiteboard that I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MY LIFETIME GOAL.

As a journo and going to all these events and such, training me to be a professional person by attending press conferences was not taught at school. By experience, by learning to understand each time how the event goes, I have matured myself and as Lenne say, I could bring myself well.

Moreover did I have to prim myself well as the PR / Project Manager in the company I part-time for, previously my intern place, Glamour Inc. The name says everything. I do not want to screw that up.

Anyhow, as '11 is the year I have graduated for the first time from this college (IT HAS BEEN THREE FRIGGIN' YEARS SINCE I MOVED?) and the famous 11:11 wish commemorates the wishes and dreams prayed inside each final year project to please hire me or get me noticed and some investor would like to invest or hire us. ;)

Here goes: My personal favorites and my own project at The Lasalle Show '11!

It started with the chosen project #5 : Packaging, to create six items: HANG TAG, LABEL, PRESS KIT, INVITATION, PACKAGING, and PROMOTIONAL ITEM for a brand we have to conceptualize ourselves, derived from the company we researched beforehand. With the bylines of its market and target audience, I had in mind way before everything : to create a bespoke shoe label.

First, researching on what shoes I liked and what the direction of the shoe design should be. Something that should be interesting and different that will surely get attention.

The inspiration board for the actual shoe design. Two varieties. Which one you guys prefer, Left or right?

Those were the rough sketches made on my notebook. Some are inspired by LV, United Nude, Heavy Machine, Raphael Young, Camilla Skovgaard, and others said in the inspiration board above.

Below are the 5 mood and inspirations for each respective design we should create previously stated above.

This was the first batch of design that got rejected.

View and appreciate the final collection here!

M.RBL MANIFESTO

M.RBL aims to be adorned by the world’s fashion daredevils.

M.RBL gains attention by its glinting spherical feature beneath your very feet.

M.RBL dresses your feet like a long-lost fashion Dorothy – you have now reached the highest sanctuary in the fashion wonderland with it.

This is M.RBL, the show-stopping shoes that demand to gather your fashion balls up – the only way to work it to the M.XMUM with a N.NCHLNT attitude.

Note: this is only the first prototype. The original shoe design is still under process. Would anyone like to have a pair of shoes from MRBL, either by your own design or through my consultation, do let me know.

It's walkable, trust me.

Above was the invite for Kokon ToZai's AW2011, entitled so. Don't ask me what it stands for - currently, I do not know and have no time to research. But may I boast that I could ask directly what it WTG means to the brainchild of the brand itself.

When, where, how, wha - ?

Before any bombards of questions, see below and start marking your mark on where the link leads you to. Anyone in Singapore and ravin' the one-of-a-kind dear KTZ, we should see you at the door or you'll be certainly expelled.

It's up on the kokontozai blog too! And I'm sure we all are ecstatic with the collection I call bandits runaway - all stripes and primary colors come into one. As for you all peeps who loves this as much as I do, don't fret and bite your nails as a teeny sneaks on what's THURSDAY NIGHT'S GONNA BE LIKE.

Keep on chanting.

Time to start marking your attendance here you party-goers and if you think that you stand a chance to be cooler than us and the strutters who's going to shake Butter on Thursday night!

Need to update your wardrobe to inject some bandit wear next season? I know I do... I've been eyeing this one piece and I know my paycheck's all going there when this term ends. Goodbye Hourani and Comme, I've made my choice.

See the updates on Best of British - found on the top left panel. Best of British is under Glamour Incorporated, a fashion retail company that aims to support and bring the upcoming British designers to the shores of Asia.
