Andrew Yang's The Koukltias Collection at Joyce

Tonight, I attended the book launch and exhibition of Andrew Yang's The Koukltias Collection at Joyce boutique at Central.

Andrew Yang is a NY based painter and illustrator. The Koukltias are a line of 27" fashion rag dolls. Each doll is handmade and the faces are all hand painted. This collabation with Joyce HK features around 40 dolls, each is dressed in one of the favourite looks from the A/W 2010 collections.





It looks like a showcase of all the key pieces for this season. The dolls are not for sale, instead you got to spend over a certain amount and then enter a lucky draw.

Few of my favourites

Rodarte


Celine (if I recall correctly)


Alexander McQueen


Comme des Garcons


Andrew Yang himself was at the event. He's nice, greet and autograph on his book, plus draw a portrait of the customer on the first page!!!

My wishlist for Fall

Though it's still hot here in Hong Kong, it's August already and the Fall/Winter collections ads are all over the magazines and internet now. Also the shops are packed with all the new arrivals. Here is my wishlist for this season.

1. YSL Tribtoo pumps

I tried a light grey pair before my Japan trip but gave up since I wanna save for my trip. Now I'm kinda kicking myself for passing it since it's sold out everywhere!!! I've been searching high and low for it but seems I have to wait till Nov. My first choice goes to grey, second will be red or raspberry patent.

2. Cape

I love capes, got a white/black houndstooth one last year and a black Comme des Garcons short trench one in Tokyo last month. Cape is so versatile, simply match with any dress/skirt/pants and you'll look chic.

This year, quite a number of brands (YSL, Rag & Bone, 3.1 Phillip Lim) feature capes on the runways. I love this one from Rag & Bone.


and this one from 3.1 Phillip Lim

Also looking forward to get a cape in camel color. My best bet is on topshop... =)

3. Comme des Garcons plaid coat

The padding and plaids are playful enough, but the coat is out of my price range...

4. Alaia belt

Alaia makes this style every season in different materials. Would love to get a black leather one with lace details.

5. A grey fitted dress

Any brand will do, just it's pretty... =)

6. Lace stuffs

I covet anything lace (clothes/dress/heels/coats...) as long as it doesn't look too much like lingerie. I still don't have the nerve to wear head-to-toe lace yet (maybe can give a shot later). This Givenchy red lace dress looks so seductive and yummy.

That's all for now. Hope I won't get distracted by other things or this list will get even longer...
