Senada AW 09-10 presentation

I'm lucky enough to be invited to BFS (Bangkok Fashion Society) fw 09-10 press presentation at Ten Face Hotel last month. The presentation took the whole floor of the hotel and every room is decorated as in the concept of the brand's collection. One of my favourite was Senada. It's like you walking in the room that being crash by girls in who love vintage and rock 'n roll. Balloons, glitters, vintage posters are everywhere. It was fun going through balloons to see the collection :))

just sharing,

Alice ♥

Curiouser and Curiouser
Beyond nonsense verse and coming-of-age fables, Lewis Carroll's true passion was photographing moody young beauties. Olivier Theyskens, in the guise of Carroll, captures model Natalia Vodianova as Alice Liddell.

Down the Rabbit Hole
Faster, faster, faster she fell! Chasing Tom Ford's White Rabbit, our Alice disappears down the never-ending dark passage.

Drink Me
How was Alice to know the innocent little bottle would make her grow to such a size? As Helmut Lang watched from the wall, she curled her legs up and hoped the designer's organza minidress wouldn't be crushed by her startling height.

Advice from a Caterpillar
Clad in Marc Jacobs's ruffled chiffon minidress, Alice found herself engaged in an infuriatingly roundabout conversation with a mushroom-dweller. Where am I? she wondered...and how have I gotten here?

Pig & Pepper
It was a queer-shaped little creature, and held out its arms and legs in all directions, “just like a starfish.”

The Cheshire Cat
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” Alice asked sweetly of the cat with a grin as devilish as anything she had ever seen. “ That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” replied our Cat, Jean Paul Gaultier.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee
“If you think we're alive, you ought to speak,” said the one marked DEE. Alice, in a Viktor & Rolf multilayered silk dress, stared as the Tweedle duo spouted nonsensical tongue twisters.

The Mad Tea Party
“No room!” The March Hare and Mad Hatter shouted. “No room!” But Alice plunked down, desperate for some biscuits after a long day of living backward. Christian Lacroix Haute Couture dress with painted and sculpted mink dickey over a lace top and frilled lamé skirt. Stephen Jones (right), wears a custom-made hat of his own design. Lacroix, as the March Hare, is at far right.

Who Stole the Tarts?
“My name is Alice, so please Your Majesty,” the young girl, draped in Dior Couture, said softly. “ You make me giddy!” screamed the Queen. Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano hand-painted polka-dot dress. Galliano as the Queen of Hearts, wears a Dior Haute Couture coat and is accompanied by his King, Alexis Roche.

The Mock Turtle's Story
“What is his sorrow?” Alice, in Atelier Versace, asked the Gryphon. “Once,” sighed the Mock Turtle, “ I was a real turtle.” Atelier Versace layered silk-tulle and chiffon-organza dress lined in lace. Donatella Versace and Rupert Everett are in Versace.

Through the Looking Glass
Wrapped in ocean-blue Balenciaga couture, Alice perched on the mantel, longing to escape into the shadow world, as her black kitty purred nearby. Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière crystal pleated chiffon dress and grey ankle boots.

Anna Wintour VS Carmel Snow

Anna Wintour, as an editor of Vogue, is taken as the most influential figure in fashion industry but is she is the only one? Let me introduce another great editor before her time, Carmel Snow of Harper's Bazaar...

Anna Wintour VS Carmel Snow

Anna Wintour (on the left) making calls while waiting for the show to begin / Carmel Snow (on the right) examining some layouts in her office.

The Magazine: Vogue (1988 til now) / Harper's Bazaar (1934 -1958)

The cover of Vogue September issue of 2007 which is the thickest ever published is showed Wintour success / one of the cover in the time of Carmel Snow from photographer, Richard Avedon.

Soul mate art director (or creative director for Vogue): Grace Coddington / Alexey Brodovitch (on the far right)

15 years of working side by side they created a lot of amazing things together. "Anna and I, we've known each other a long time....We have a real mutual respect for each other, even though sometimes I feel like killing her." said Grace Coddington. / Alexey Brodovitch's innovation of Bazaar's iconic Didot logo, and the cinematic quality that his obsessive cropping brought to layouts (not even the work of Man Ray and Henri Cartier-Bresson was safe from his busy scissors) making Harper's Bazaar at the time very modern.

Magazine's contributers:

Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Bruce Weber, Herb Ritts / Richard Avedon, Man Ray, Dali, Henri Cartier-Bresson

Achievements:

Wintour bring Vogue US back to life with her first cover by mixing Christian Lacroix $10,000 t-shirt with $50 jeans and now it could say that she one of the people who shaped the industry / Snow make a fashion-magazine history by be the first to created an "action" shot by took picture of model running to the camera by the sea. Before that fashion was carefully staged on mannequin-like models in a studio. She also discovered Diane Vreeland and made her fashion editor (which she become another great editor at Vogue later).

Personal life:

Wintour with Karl Lagerfeld

Snow with Coco Chanel

Wintour rise before 6 am. everyday to plays tennis and has her hair and makeup done, then gets to Vogue's offices at 8 a.m. She always arrives at fashion shows at their scheduled starting time to make some phone calls and notes. / Snow had a lifelong love affair with the three-martini lunch and injection of vitamin B12 (she hardly ate or slept). She also have wicked sense of adventure (she evaded customs by snipping the labels out of her Parisian couture).

Dressing style:
Wintour is famous for her Bob haircut and a sunglasses. This been her signature for many many years. / Snow in the other hand is always been seen with her little round hat on her lilac hair.

Encouraged Designers:

Wintour listened to designer's presentation.

Snow and Cristobal Balenciaga

Alexander Wang, John Galliano, Thakoon / Christian Dior, Cristobal Balenciaga and make Chanel back to be popular again in her 70s.

The funny things is both editors have little figure, very energetic and both had been working at both magazine, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. What a messy!
So which corner do you go for, blue or red ?
