Last weekend in Hong Kong until going home =)

I had my interview with University Nottingham Trent for Fashion Business bachelor program, and honestly, I think I did quite bad =(. The lady in charge asked me many very specific questions about the field, and honestly if i knew all her answers, i probably wouldn't have to go to school anymore hahah. The program, if i get in, will be held in Hong Kong Design Institute, a gorgeous 110Million dollars constructed building. 
 HKDI
 Even the elevator room is full of pretty fashion pictures
 How i dressed to my interview, i just wanted to  be myself without dressing too formal
hehe then i went out at night for drink and clubbing =)

cheers a few more days till i leave this sick place!

Gold Digger

Today I had an opportunity to work with Debbie Lo, one of the World Cup models for Hong Kong. The idea was by Lowell, the photographer. Main idea is just money and luxury (sort of my cup of tea). First he wanted to used hong kong or japanese money which i really rejected, then i asked him to print out USD or at least Euro...yup so here are a few sneak peaks before the actual photo gets done. So i named the title Gold Digger, LOL because shes a money loving woman! 

These photos are by my iphone, so please excuse the quality of them.



 Sauling had to apply make up on her at KFC, Central, because it was supposed to be an outdoor shoot. Then the heavy rain came, and we had to book a studio.
 At the studio, fixing everything
 Money Honey
I like the shots done in black background more. They are more sophisticated and stylish.

So I will upload the finish photo later!
Ciao, and damn i missed out on Tom Ford's birthday party last night at Dragon i

Then there is the i.t. opening at Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Many people might not know about i.t. as a brand oversea, but actually many hollywood star already discover this Hong Kong company full of international brands. I.T is a Hong Kong fashion conglomerate founded in 1988. It owns a number of Hong Kong brands which it retails as well as distributing European and Japanese brands such as French Connection and A Bathing Ape. It has a large presence in Asia, the only area where it does business.


 At the signing board with 2 live toy soldiers, one offered to give me his walkie talkie

Damien Hirst

For art and fashion class today, Kary took us to the Gagosian Gallery at Central. The exhitibition of the moment is hosting Damien Hirst art pieces. At first, we all thought it would be boring since we saw some introduction of butterfly photos, but the trip turned out to be very insightful.


Damien Hirst 's theme this time is call "Forgotten Promises". All the his work surrounds the subject of life. The pieces are call "Pain", "Regret", "Tear of Joy","Tear of Sorrow", and so many more emotional titles along with artworks that required many thinking.

 Here is Hirst with his interesting piece call Saint Bartholomew, made in Gold plated silver, seems like a satire of real thing. St B. here skinned himself alive while still holding the scalper up high and carrying his own skin like fur coat.

 His hand made platinum skull head, full of white diamond. So realistic, i've notice most of his work is not balanced out perfectly, which i find awesome.
 Overall my favorite piece is call "Cupid's Lie", it reminds me too much of Alexander McQueen. It's pure gold, it's un proportional skull, its darkness, i loved it!
I thought for a long time what did Cupid lie about? The skull here actually looks like its giggling.

Here is some photos of inspirations i got from today's exhibition. It might be a bit scary, i did scared myself and the maids.
 This was my homework, my inspiration from the Cupid's Lie. My idea was death, but  a meaningful and beautiful way. Like McQueen, how far would you cross Death's last line?


 Scared? Do i look like a fashionable skulllllady ?
Headdress: H&M black rose 
Necklaces that i choked myself with: Topshop
Makeup: Black Maybelline Eyegel all over my eye lids and under my bags, black lipstick from MAC, i covered up my brows with Makeup Forever concealer,  Surrounded the eyegel with Gold eyeshadow from Nars.

IF you ever wanted to live in the Chanel store

IF you ever wanted to live in the Chanel store...
well you won't anymore after a few days of working in there
I am very lucky to have opportunity to intern at Chanel for a short period of time, as am Ambassador, basically i think a door girl, or as they call greeter =_=

 This is the main office of Hong Kong Chanel in Central, we had our interviews conducted here =)
 The whole store is in black and white. My teacher Kary especially asked us to wear black to interview, which the other 3 interviewees did, but i wore my caramel trench coat in purpose. A Gal has to stand out in a interview!

 Conference room





Now to the real working office in a Chanel store in Central, Prince Building.


 Bags that need to be fixed or scanned..trust me you will lose interest in them after a few days of seeing them nonstop
 My job today, making portfolios for VIPs in Hong Kong, show what items they would pick for this season

Me and Yan in our uniforms. They are way too thin, =( .. As the Chanel Ambassador, i have to wait outside with customers sometimes who are in line waiting to get in. And its like under 10 degrees today in HK, i totally freeze my butt off with this non functional uniform LAME

Well this is a nice experience, but i can guarantee you that me and Yan won't miss it at all..
I am too much of a customer rather than a server

totally bought new furs today for this coldass weather
