World Runway Premiere 2011

Yes! Today I’m finally gonna blog about world runway premiere which I attended last Sunday! Got the invite from Shunji Matsuo and also cheerleading tickets from Sozo! ^^

Tickets from Shunji Matsuo!

Of course I had to selca with it!

Went to the event with my yeobo~ And we were super stressed about dressing up for a fashion event. In the end, both of us decided to just heck it and wear whatever.

I seriously love my yeobo’s hair! LOL!

Here’s a selca of what I wore.

We were given flags to wave about to support the countries, and initially, we wanted the Japanese flags, BUT! They ran out! (Japan too popular LOL) So we decided to go along with the Union Jack!

We kinda regretted getting the British flag after remembering that our favourite designer (Jeremy Scott) is from USA. BUT! WE CHOSE THE RIGHT FLAG! (You’ll see in the end)

So we waited around for a ridiculous 2 hours before they finally let us in at 5pm.

And here’s the rehearsal stage!

The models from the Singaporean team were having their rehearsals at this point of time and I was pleasantly taken aback at the cute and bold designs our designers have put up.

We had to wait for quite abit before the show officially started at 6pm, so… SELCAS!

They were testing the lighting out and we were kinda looking like shrek here..

Even our tickets were given the Shrek feel! Kekeke^^

Okay I know it’s damn childish.. BUT I CAN’T HELP IT!

*pout* whats with the lousy blurry photos anyway! *angry at self*

Anyway, the show started soon after and I was really impressed with the trailer before the show!

What really made me think was this:

Fashion can re-create, re-unite and re-conciliate the world.

Which really got me thinking, we might have different cultures and speak in different languages, but most of us there had a common passion, FASHION! (omg it rhymes passionfashionpassionfashion passionfruitfashionfruit)

The show started off with a group of models headed by local celebrities Dawn Yang and Nat Ho.

Yes. Both of them were looking in this direction while I took the photo! kekeke^^

World Runway united top creators to send a prayer to the world! Winners will choose a charity of their choice to donate to from next year onwards! But this year, it’s for Japan’s earthquake relief fund!

The fashion designers from UK! The bald one looks like Jeremy Scott and behaves like him BUT! He’s not Jeremy Scott! TT_TT Plus I didn’t manage to get a good photo of him!

I think I shall just cut the chase and go directly to the fashion show.

It started off with France and I was really excited because as you guys know, Paris is a fashion hub, right?

BUT! I was so disappointed by the French team because their designs were so common. Lack of detail, Lack of fab!

But the models’ walk were awesome!

I decided not to share too much of them because there’s really nothing special about their designs. As you can expect, they were toasted. French toasted. (okay not funny runs away)

Next up! Italy!

To be honest I was really impressed with Italy’s designs!

Both the designs and the makeup were bold and colourful!

I had a good time watching the Italy team’s designs!

Next up! USA!

To be honest, I wasn’t really impressed with the USA' team’s designs, but their makeup and hair were really good!

Plus I saw a few Lady Gaga inspired pieces so… PLUS POINTS!

Next up! The one that most of you are waiting for, JAPAN!

I personally really liked their designs, hairstyles and walk because they managed to combine Japan’s culture, traditional designs and elements into their designs!

Hair and makeup were also traditionally inspired I believe!

Next, UK! Which I was apparently rooting for because of the flag!

I must say, I LOVED UK’S DESIGNS. THEY WERE F**KING AWESOME. I SWEAR.

The first piece really blew me away with it’s tiny details and embellishments.

Oops. Not a very clear pic! Here’s a clearer one!

Did I also mention I loved their makeup? Angry birds inspired!

HAHAHAH!

Next! Russia!

You know what? I really really really liked Russia’s designs! And their hair and makeup, AND the music to their walk which was so different from the other countries.

If you notice, the girl in the middle is wearing a bag on her head.

If you look closely, there are hearts drawn on her knees! ME LIKEY!!!

Next, Brazil!

Wearing I <3 SG shirts? HAHA!

I cannot remember much about their outfits but, I remembered the models look genuinely happy and were rocking the stage!

They were also really proud of their heritage!

And… SINGAPORE!

was really impressed by singapore’s designs! They were really innovative and bold, unlike normal Singaporeans on the street… (meh)

Really liked the irregular patterns and lace decal!

The models also looked as if they were genuinely having fun and partying on stage!

And that concludes the end of the first round, which eliminated Russia, Italy, USA, and Brazil!

The remaining teams were UK, Japan, Singapore and France (seriously?)!

Anyway, just to be honest with you guys, I really didn’t like any of the other teams designs as they were really boring! SO, in order not to waste your time, I’m just gonna post the works of the winning team! UK’s!

They totally deserved it!

Why did i say that? Because if you were to look at the other teams work, it’s actually pretty obvious that not much effort was put in compared to the British who put out whole new designs! Instead of designs from the previous rounds.

Really innovative designs!

And my personal favourite! The mermaid dress!

Which one was your favourite? Tell me! Comment below!

We also got to see KPOP star Se7en!

Really handsome in real life!

And that concludes the end of my post! <3 Thanks to Shunji Matsuo for inviting me to World Runway Premiere!

PS: To my dear readers, thank you! Your comments give me strength! ^^

PPS: Happy birthday Key! 생일축하합니다! Please eat well, take care of yourself well, and always be happy! As quoted from Jonghyun: “Happy Birthday Key! I love you!” (shall change that to “I like you!” instead)

The reason why I’m putting this here because it’s key’s birthday when you see this, and he’s 21 in korean age!
