Creative Enough To Direct?

There are certain things when I look or listen to something, I will wonder who are the people behind the curtains that made things work. Like the band Tool. They are too complex I start to wonder how they work. Or like NASA. Or like the people who work in automobile or dekat pelantar minyak ke takpun apa-apa la, as long as things start to look perfect to me I start to wonder. But if there's one thing I noticed since the past 10 years, in my opinion, things in fashion and music these days equals to shit. Nothing is ever original these days. But I guess that's what you get for living a life for 30 years. I can't imagine those who are older than me. I can't help but to respect the elders even more for being able to put up whatever shit that is given to their plates, and still they make things work.



There is only one woman I give all my adoration and respect to, and that woman is none other than Creative Director of Vogue U.S., Grace Coddington. I don't think you find me giving such high compliments towards anyone. From what I know, I compliment pretty women plenty. And that's about it. Pretty can be found anywhere. So that means, I can say every woman is beautiful or pretty. Every woman is just another piece of photocopied paper. But then again, who the hell am I, yeah? I am not Grace Coddington. So what I say does not matter.


But if there's one woman I would compliment on how real, original, smart, creative and passionate she is, that woman is Grace Coddington. For all the spreads she has done in US Vogue, alongside all the genius photographers and designers and models, it is she, and her sidekick/enemy Anna Wintour, Vogue US Editor In Chief, who is also somebody I find very "creative" in terms of business. Because fashion is beautiful. Fashion is about passion. Fashion is romantic (not only by emotions but by political statement too). Fashion is ridiculous. Fashion is a waste of time. Fashion is EVIL. Tiring. Cruel. Hectic. But Grace made it all happen. And she wears black all the time. :)

Who says you need to be a clown wearing ridiculous colourful clothes, worst still those that are "in", to be creative. Look at Grace. :) IT'S ALWAYS THOSE IN BLACK. Those people.

They say that fashion works under Anna Wintour's thumbs. All designers (yes including Jean Paul Gaultier or Karl Lagerfeld) will refer to her on what to do for next season. She just bitchslaps them like nobody's business. But then there is always Grace. The one and only woman who can correct and argue with Anna. And still make it out alive. That is something I find worth looking into.

So to be a Creative Director, we really need to look into ourselves. And our work. And then look at Grace's work. And then start questioning ourselves. Do we really deserve this title? Hahaha.

Winter Testing in Sepang 2010

Vale and us.

Jorge and me.

Vale's best friend Uccio and me.

I would like to post other pictures of other people with them but I don't think anyone will like it if I posted their pictures on my website without their permission. So there. Pictures tell everything. You can check out my previous pictures with them last year here and here. Ciao!

Hose Bag

I'm in one of those days where I have lost a certain bag I want to use so I need to find a new one. So I've been looking for a new brown bag and as usual NOTHING fits what I really want becaaaaauseeee I am EXTREMELY FUSSY. Let's go through a few examples of what you will have to deal with if you're shopping with me at this early stages of Looking For The Things I Want.

FIRST BAG. Shape is nice. Design is ok. Material and colour, not me. If we change this to brown and make it a sling bag and switch the material to leather, I might buy it.

SECOND BAG. I like the details on it. You can't see it from afar. But when you come closer it's there. Material looks okay too. Not too shiny. But it's black. Don't like the shape. Too stiff. And I want a sling bag.

THIRD BAG. I almost like it. But I suddenly fell asleep after looking at the colour. My friend had to wake me up. I didn't realize I snoozed off for awhile there. If this colour is brown, and if there are more details like bag above, and make the handle much longer, I'll probably consider. But looks like it's no where near what I want.

FOURTH BAG. I love the surface on this. You KNOW I love details like these. Pleats, bumps, you name it. But as always, they give you something and they take away everything. No belts, no metals, no studs, no extra pockets, no nothing. And I'm gonna stick to what I want, which is the colour brown. And I want a sling bag. Not gonna buy this.






If I can't get what I want I usually sleep over it and forget about it. Zzzzzz.
