CHUNKY ZIP CUFF

Finally, after hours and hours of prototyping, my KIMSHU leather chunky zip cuff is completed! I am very content with the end result :) After comparing the two cuffs, I prefer the chunkier zip because it draws more attention. These cuffs are definitely unisex and they're quite versatile. If you're an all dressed-black person like myself, all you need is this cuff to complete your whole outfit (in my opinion). Keep it simple!
Which do you prefer? Your thoughts?

GIVENCHY PIN UP TEE

One of my mate finally got his hands on a Givenchy tee! Gonna have to snatch it off him one day hah! Apparently he found this tee in a box hidden somewhere in his house while he was doing some cleaning then realising it was a surprise birthday gift for him from his sisters haha

BACK TO THE 1990's

Wearing my uncomfortable yet awesome 1990's jeans and missing the good old 90's music and fashion. Take me back to the 90's bitch!

ZIP CUFFS

Handmade leather zip cuffs

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well! Sorry I haven't posted in a while due to work and lack of motivation. It's been quite a stressful month for me but on the bright side I managed to invest in a industrial sewing machine (cylinder arm machine to be exact) which was extremely hard to find, one that's affordable and in decent condition. So I've been keeping myself occupied along with some new designs and slowly expanding my skills. At the moment my new project is designing cuffs, the pictures below is my first attempt which I'm quite satisfied with although some adjustments still need to be implemented. My initial idea was to use a big chunky hardware zip but I honestly don't mind the smaller zip. Once again, I like my designs to be black, bold and simple with a nice piece of hardware to add a statement. Overall, I'm broke as from spending a great amount of money on materials but ultimately I'm very pleased with the outcome.
I'll be sure to keep you guys posted with my upcoming designs :)

CLEAR COLLAR

Handmade transparent studded collar

A couple of months ago I noticed a sudden increased on transparent accessories. I've came across transparent boots, heels, bags, sunnies, jewellery and clutches as well as DIY clutches. However, I have not yet come across a transparent collar ... could this be a next new thing? Haha. 
Your thoughts?

JC - COLTRANE




Spending my Thursday night sketching and illustrating a pair of Jeffrey Campbell - Coltrane. These boots have sold very well in stores and online. At first I thought it was too chunky for my liking but after one of my good mates bought a pair, it slowly grew on me. Good choice!

GEOMETRIC


KIMSHU SS 2013

So my new spring/summer collection plays with geometric lines and curves giving it a striking look. I haven't yet decided on what colours to add but I'm leaning towards ALL black...again. You seriously cannot go wrong with black. Rather than adding colours I want to focus more on using different materials and texture, for example mesh. If you have any ideas or opinions i'd LOVE to hear it! I need feedback! Thanks guys! :)

MY 21ST AMERICAN PARTAY!

Hello hello hello everyone! So last friday I threw an 'American theme' house party for my 21st and I gotta say, I was really impressed with everyone's costume. Everyone dressed up! It was definitely an unforgettable night from what I can remember... I won't blab on too much on how the night ended, i'll let the photos speak for itself hah! 

It took me a couple of days to prepare and lay everything out, all for one night but it was worth it :)

I made a promise to myself this year that I wasn't gonna pre-drink at my own party... i failed :( i couldn't resist, i was too keen on getting the party started. The outcome was pretty messy...

Took me 5 minutes to make a 3 sentence speech that I don't even remember ==" fail. I knew I should've written it down :(
The night continues to get messier for me.



I passed out 6 times and finally fell asleep! Overall i'm sure i lasted longer than last year so i'm happy with the outcome ;D
