Foureyes – Mino Kim

 

“Wear something that is YOU, something that you feel comfortable in and reflects who you are.”

 

Mino wore an outfit which he designed in collaboration with Daniel K. Since he loves bold colours, he saw it as an opportunity to create exactly what he wanted, and what better colour than red!

Mino wore another outfit that he partly designed himself (the pants and the shirt) and paired it with a jacket that he fell in love with by Damir Doma that he bought on a recent trip to Sydney.

Mino, where do you draw your inspiration from when putting your outfits together?

I like to stand out and wear bold and unique pieces so for me my inspiration is always coming up with something that matches my personality and mood that day.
 

What did you enjoy most about MBFWA2014?

My highlight was definitely getting to show people my work on the runway as part of the New Generation show. I collaborated with NZ brand Daniel K on designing various pieces for her collection. The whole experience was such a thrill that I can’t wait to do it again. Check our video out here

 

What do you love most about photographing people and blogging about fashion?

I love the variety of what we do and love to meet people along the way. The online medium is so amazing to me as it allows you to reach people you could never previously reach with more traditional forms of media.

 

Well I guess that’s it from the guys from Foureyes. So go check out their blog and get their book! ACDM, thanks so much for giving me a sneak peek into your fashion lives and getting in front of my camera. It was a blast getting to know you and watching you work your camera (hey I’ve got pics to prove it too)!

Looking forward to catching up with the boys at our next fashion event! x

FourEyes – Chin Tay

 

“Always keep a sticky roller handy. Fur and lint is no good.”

 

Chin wore a sand-coloured oversized tee from Zambesi over a simple navy shirt and shorts.

Chin was head to toe in one of his favourite NZ labels, Kowtow.

Chin, where do you draw your inspiration from when putting your outfits together?

It often starts with a particular item of clothing like a hat or a shoe that I create a look around.

 

What did you enjoy most about MBFWA2014?

I loved the Haryono Setiadi show and the amazing street style.

 

What’s your favourite part of your website?

I’m loving the new section we have on the FourEyes blog where we get to share (over-share?) what we’ve been up to each week.

 

MBFWA2014 Alessandra Ambrosio lands on Alex Perry’s runway

With all the social media hype leading up to Alex Perry’s Spring Summer 2014/15 show, Alessandra Ambrosio had made a spectacular entrance and finale to his “Varsity” show.

Alex Perry had created a sophisticated collection of pencil silhouettes, structured and short trumpet skirts and crop tops. Pencil dresses were cut open at the back or featured see-through lace panels at the back. Tea dresses with shimmering beadwork and high impact circle skirts. The theme throughout was leather-effect fabrics with black, navy, cream and orange and prink colour blocking.

It was worth the one hour wait and being squeezed out of the media pit while I propped myself on top of the sub woofer to capture all the glitz and glam. Here are the highlights from Alex Perry’s runway show from my perspective.

Aurelio Costarella MBFWA 2014

Aurelio Costarella summer 14/15 is a modern interpretation of the classic 1920/30’s Parisienne silhouettes inspired by the work of Man Ray and the style of his favourite muses, Kiki de Montparnasse, Tamara de Lempika, Nancy Cunard, Lee Miller and Juliete. Aurelio’s runway show started out with a bang of intense colours, ranging from red, fushsia, violet, citrus, then a series of mint, cobalt, turquoise, then antique, black and gunmetal and finished the show with a palette of classic antique and white. Fabrications include silk chiffon, leather, eyelet lace, intricate beading and embroidery in metal, and graduation of ostrich feathers. Here are the highlights taken from my perspective.
