East Asia Meet South Asia-Photo Shoot

I styled a photo shoot last week for an Indian inspired HK fashion label called Kaprice.  She is known for voluminous kaftans, embroidered tops, and cocktail dresses.  I learned very quickly that it is quite tough to find models in HK.  Models here tend to be more pretty than edgy, meaning more geared towards commercial work, rather than fashion.  My friend and colleague, whom shot the look book, Laurent Segretier, works a lot with Angie Ng, whom models in the photos above.  Lovely girl and wish her luck, as she is on her way to Paris for Fashion Week.  Angie and Laurent made the shoot and Kaprice was happy with the end result.

Aalis Shop Hong Kong

As my blog is starting to get some traction in HK and elsewhere, many people have told me about a new shop that opened up over the summer, by a couple, Alice Tam and Boysh (she studied at Parsons, whilst Boysh in Paris).  Their collections are vintage inspired, romantic and full of lace, silks and tweeds.  During my visit, I spotted them re-working some pill hats with lace.  What makes the designs interesting is that they mix Western Vintage with HK style.  This makes for a unique collection.  Well worth a visit.  Located on the 2nd Floor, 31 Yiu Wa Street in Causeway Bay.  As with most things not Hermes, L.V., Chanel in HK, the price point is quite reasonable.
