T博客系列: 2015 音樂錄影帶大獎的爆點 Review of the 2015 VMA Awards

音樂頻道 MTV  音樂錄影帶大獎(VMA)應該是美國頒獎典禮中最具爆點的一個頒獎典禮。  出席嘉賓以及入圍者大都是流行音樂歌手,這是一群有名氣,有才華,身懷絕技,又是滿腔熱血的年輕人,他們想要說什麼就說出口,想要做什麼就直接做,所以VMA 通常會有些驚世駭俗的畫面出現!

從1984年創辦的首屆,由瑪丹娜頭戴白紗,唱著『Like A Virgin』登場,VMA給了觀眾太多難忘的經典畫面,像是2013年麥莉希拉跟羅賓西克在台上唱『Blurred Lines』時,忘情的twerk,2009年肯尼威斯特衝上台去,硬是把麥克風從上台領獎的泰勒絲手上搶走,2001年當時形象還很清純的小甜甜穿著一身火辣的裝扮跟一條白色大蟒蛇跳舞,2003年瑪丹娜跟小甜甜布蘭妮在台上經典一吻…  通常VMA結束之後,創造出的話題會持續延燒一個星期。 今年又選中了語不驚人死不休的麥莉希拉當主持人,可想而知,今年的頒獎典禮會很有看頭。結果,比我預期中還要驚人!

Hong Kong Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015

photo 1-7   This is from the first show of the Hong Kong Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2015 opened today on July 6th The fashion show, “Fashionally Collection #4” features young, budding designers who were past winners or finalists from the Hong Kong Young Fashion Designers’ Contest. After the show, I spoke to three designers and asked them about their inspirations for the collection.

每年都舉辦兩次的香港時尚週在七月六號登場!  第一場秀是由十位新世代設計師秀出最新collection 的款式,有些是設計感必較多,有些是比較戲劇性地呈現,我在香港看的秀不多,但是每次看了之後,我都覺得,其實香港辦秀的能力有在慢慢進步,當然不比一些其它時尚重鎮的季節大秀,像是巴黎,米蘭或者是紐約,但是秀出當地設計新秀的作品,更讓我可以貼近的瞭解一下現在年輕人的審美觀。

T博客系列: 紅毯之王:坎城的殘酷舞台 Cannes: The Mother of All Red Carpets

我說,坎城是紅地毯之王,真是一點也沒錯!

因為在小小的一個紅地毯上,兩排都擠滿了來自世界各地的平面攝影跟電子攝影,每個人都西裝筆挺的,看到穿得像樣的人就猛拍,不管認不認識你,都扯開喉嚨的大聲叫著“Over here” “To your right!” “Over the shoulder!”不是名人走起來都覺得頓時自己好像真是個somebody一樣,但是對於明星們而言,坎城紅地毯,更是個廝殺激烈的戰場,你要是稍微失策,就可能一失足成千苦恨。

Fairy Tale Inspired Fashion at the Hong Kong Fashion Week

The thought of going to a fashion show is always exciting, even if the designers are not well known.  It’s the idea of beautiful clothes, glamours models, camera, lights and catwalk galore.  Today at the Hong Kong Fashion Week, 4 HK designers plus 1 from Myanmar showed their collection.  The one that really stood out for me was Andy Ho, who designed clothes based on characters from stories like “Alice in Wonderland” or “Maleficient”.  Not only were the clothes fairy-tale like, he created intricate head pieces to complete the outfit.  Not something you can wear to go buy grocery at Park N Shop, but definitely eye-candy fashion fantasy.
