My Corner

Since I popped into my current course at Northumbria, my shopping manner was totally changed. It's not that because I have no time to shop "off-line" but I find shopping online more interesting, easier, more convenient and save me a bunch of time too. Remember last year when my gossip friends talk about shopping online, I just wondered can we call shopping a fun if we shop without touching, seeing and trying on? What's the point of spending money over the internet rather than experience in reality ?

I assumed they were maniac but I gotta admit I am now more maniac than them as I become an online shopaholic more than ever. Indeed, if we 've got a particular aesthetic, seize our silhouette, know our actual size (though each fashion brand has slightly different size chart) then shopping online just takes us 1 step closer to be an authentic shoppaholic. 

My Corner is not about what I am talking about myself, but a shopping website that I just discovered last week as one of my favorite shopping destination and wanna share everyone my experience.

Thecorner.com is powered by Yoox Group ( also a fashion online wholesale/retailer but I would call it an online outlet instead for their constant last-season stock). If you can grab a bargain for various cutting edge designer stuff on Yoox then Theconrner.com featured high-end fashion through their online boutique with selectively latest goods. Designers such as Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owen, Damir Domar, Haider Ackerman, Dries Van Noten, Z Zegna and Santoni all choose Thecorner.com as their official internet retailing partner.

Apart from that, customers can also find boundless current news about fashion shoots, video and short films have been curated exclusively by some of the world's most avant-garde creative minds including Hdi Slimane, nick Knight and my beloved Nicola Formichetti.

My observation is Thecorner.com seems to be in extreme tough competition with

-Herviabazzar.com
-Oki-ni.com
-Ln-cc.com
-Antonioli.eu
-Endclothing.co.uk

The Print & Pattern Revolution

I heard about this brand quite a long time ago since they had not debuted their menswear FW 2010 collection at London Fashion Show via a friend. As for me, Agape Mdumulla and Sam Cotton successfully convey an influence, absolutely fresh look to young fashionisto by their trademark bespoke hilarious print and fascinating design that they believe " Fashion should never be taken too seriously".

I just got in touch with them immediately after staring their collection as i thought this is exactly what I am looking for and being fond of right at first sight. If fashion nowadays partly described inspired by what you are looking at the media, entertainer, your certain idol or fav celebrity then, Agi & Sam assume a role of bringing fashion out a humor !!!!

These are 3 pieces in Spring Summer Collection 2011 ( the Jackets and mid-length Jumper) that I am so obsessed with and will definitely go for when they announce their stockists 

Born This Way

    My second post also second Title initialed by "B", is it contrived on purpose or accidently ? Whatever as B doesn't stand for anything from my name. :)) Although it's almost midnight now plus I just wrote my first post 30 minutes ago therefore i'm not really in the mood to put down anything else here. But, I just re-watched the Video Born this Way by Lady Gaga which just out yesterday and found something in this abstract Video quite interesting so far :
  

1.Skull make-up
2.Pink Wig 
3.Black - Masculine Tuxedo
4 Phoney Horn
5 etc ..

All those things sounds irrelevant were matched up perfectly for her own identity look as well as the Video itself. Just re watch over and over again and wonder what inspired Nicola Formichetti to created that look perfectly !! Beside that, you can take a look at Thierry Mugler's new collection  A/W 2011 featuring Lady Gaga as a model as well as her so-called new hit Government Hooker after single Born this way.
