Fashion Addition

It had been struggled for couples of months (or even years) to restart the blogging practice. The main concerns for me till the last seconds, were to choose the right domain and credible web host to record my thinking and visual diary. These were really frustrated me so far for years cox I want to start it in completely brand new, and put effort in writing blogs and update. HOWEVER, it would not be work if I NEVER step my foot in! Hence, wherever, I put my thing in my first place, where is here.
I developed this google blog for fashion since 2009, mainly for fashion addition. Well, who knows, it may be a good history for me for blog expansion.
I believe writing blog is good for me. It acts as a place for recording down my experiences, my thoughts, my feelings, my inspirations, and most importantly is to share them out and let people to inspire as well.
We need to be inspired, right? :)

enjoy.

Philip Treacy 帽出夢想
2009-10-01
【明報專訊】

當時裝人都將焦點放在巴黎和米蘭時，國際帽子大師 Philip Treacy 卻來到香港，舉行作品展覽。猜不透 Philip Treacy 答允本地商場邀請舉行作品展的理由，甫見面，忍不住問大師首肯的原因。「我很喜歡 Andy Warhol ，喜歡大眾文化，在人來人往的商場中舉辦我的帽子作品展覽，有何不可呢？」 Philip 半躺在沙發上，懶洋洋地說。
訪問前一晚， Philip Treacy 才抵港，第一時間不是休息，而是到展覽場地打點。他對場地佈置有意見，希望能按照自己的想法重新設置，於是原定在翌日開始舉行的展覽只好延遲一天。主辦單位原意找來外籍女模特兒演繹 Philip 的帽子，卻遭他否決﹕「為什麼不找一些亞洲面孔呢？」他說這話的語氣並沒有抱怨成分，只是客客氣氣地表達自己的要求。
人人也適合戴帽
「很多人認為亞洲人不適合戴帽子，其實是錯覺。帽子在亞洲有深厚的文化。亞洲女士並不是不喜歡戴帽，她們也不是比歐洲人戴得不好看。任何人也可以戴帽子，重點是要找到適合自己的。」他在商場找來兩位顧客服務員充當模特兒，再在他帶來作展覽的 35 頂帽子中，為她們挑選合適的。看名人、模特兒佩戴 Philip 製作的帽子多，原來外形誇張的帽子落在凡人頭頂上，也很好看。「帽子是Fruits for the Soul」
作為帽子設計師， Philip Treacy 甚少戴帽示人，「女士戴誇張的帽子，可以很美；男士卻應該選擇最經典、優雅的款式，否則只會像個笨蛋、傻瓜。我也只有數頂由自家品牌製造的帽子，都是最簡單的經典設計」。是次展出全部為女士帽子，其中焦點自是以 lycra 物料及彈性絲綢製成的熒光粉紅羅茲威爾帽子。此帽創作靈感源自 1947 年羅茲威爾不明飛行物體，兩旁的觸鬚讓佩戴者看來像外星生物。當年時尚女王 Isabella Blow 曾戴此帽現身倫敦時裝周，成為她最為人津津樂道的 fashion moment 之一。 Isabella Blow 生前亦是 Philip 的設計繆思。
嘗新生活才有趣
靈感女神離世了， Philip 近年更積極與不同類型的單位合作，例如時裝設計師、酒店、家品、香檳名牌等。「有時候他們會給我靈感，他們會質疑我的設計，但那是合作中最有趣的地方。 Alexander McQueen 也好， Karl Lagerfeld 也好，都是喜歡挑戰別人的人。 Alexander McQueen 是瘋狂的，與他的設計一樣； Karl Lagerfeld 亦有很多個人意見，卻愛以古典、傳統的方式表達。」
設計師大多是對自己要求很高的人， Philip 也不例外，儘管有不少炙手可熱的設計，但對於 2006 年與 Umbro 合作的不愉快經驗，他仍然耿耿於懷。「那次合作，原意是設計高級奢華的運動服，但我和品牌意見分歧，只匆匆兩季便終止了合作，到現在我還是感到遺憾。不過，我還是很喜歡運動服， Quiksilver 、 Nike 、 Y-3 等都是我喜歡的品牌。我認為運動服是最貼近現代和未來的服裝。」
接下來，他為 Valentino 設計的鞋子將會推出，與 Alexander McQueen 、 Karl Lagerfeld 的合作也正驗進行中。「不斷做一些沒有試過的事情，生活才更有趣。我們活在現實當中，所以才需要夢想。我作的設計，就是在出售夢想。生活中有 good times 和 bad times ，我希望大家戴上我的帽子時，都是一個 good times 的經。」
半躺在沙發上的仍然是外表懶洋洋的 Philip Treacy ，但你會知道他對生活、對設計，從來都是認真的。

Philip Treacy's First Foray into Footwear

Backstage at Valentino, people were congratulating Philip Treacy for his first shoe design ever. The shoes, all black, had elaborately embroidered netting that extended from the heel like wings. He said that the experience was interesting for him: "I am usually working on the head and then to move to the foot is a whole other dimension,"

he explained. "You can't have the same fragility, because models walk like racehorses and kick them together. And then something very delicate is in tatters—but actually, it looks quite good in tatters!"
