12 year old designer – Damian Finch

He is only 12 (still not legal) and he is a fashion designer.

 

 

 

Meet Damian Finch. Up and coming designer from New York. Nothing like typical 12 years old, he works hard designing clothes based on what he wants to wear. Critics was kind like impressed with his creation which they regards as ‘shows a level of maturity’.

He must be quite tight especially after the presentation of his Fall 09 to bunch of editors and buyers.  When I was 12, I was busy with my UPSR examination!

If he is the one who sketches and not just lending his name on the tag, I am freakingly impressed. In fact I am always impressed with the level of achievement of today kids. They have to cope with so many challenges like trying to juggle between email, handphone and exams. World is so demanding now. Live in the 90’s is much easier!

In case of Damian boy, I believe that his parents would be extremely supportive and help him in whatever forms.

What will happen if it is a case of Malay boy in a typical Malay family? (Typical- revolved around Malays that I I’ve known).

 What will happened if that talented 12 year old Malay boy tell his parent that he wants to become a fashion designer and he can sew and tell his mom that her blouse is so not ‘in’?

Probably his father will ask him to play football so he can be manlier, mother will ask him to shut up and advise him to be manlier, aunties and uncles will have something to laugh during a family reunion because he is not manly and cousins will call him ‘pondan’ or ‘sissy’ because he is not manly!

Please don’t get me wrong. That is only my assumption (based on personal and few friends experienced!).  Maybe things change.

Please don’t kill hidden that cute hidden talent. You’ll never know what he can bring to you in the future.

This is something from Damian Finch Fall 09 Collection. He is just bright, bright and bright!

Man of Style: Jay Kay Jamiroquai

I am officially virtually insane with Jamiroquai. 

I will be meeting them at Sepang this Sunday.

If you want to watch them, you have to buy FI ticket and you will get ‘free’ entrance to the concert. There will be no  ‘Jamiroquai concert ticket’ only F1 ticket. Click here. Or Call 03-8778 2222

Born Jason Kay, well known as Jay Kay is the lead singer of Jamiroquai.

My insanity began around mid 90’s when Jay Kay drive and jump in Cosmic Girl and Travelling Without Moving. He looks so energetic and I wonder where he gets all the energy and he looks really cool. He looks freaky but still ridiculously stylish.

 I try to imitate his look. Something my friends praise me for the Jay Kay look but sometimes they ask ‘are you ok?’  

Biasalahkan, budak melayu kadang-kadang memang cepat dalam bab-bab tiru meniru ni!  

Kepada adik-adik ku semua, tiru boleh, tak salah tapi kena ada had. Tak guna meniru sebiji-biji sehinggalah tidak ada penghujungnya. Ada diantara kita ingin meniru tapi disebabkan oleh tekanan daripada keadaan sekeliling, kita terpaksa menjadi orang lain. Itu adalah sesuatu yang menyedihkan.

Gaya tidak lahir secara semulajadi. Ia perlu dipupuk. Gaya dan fesyen bukanlah sains atau proses mencipta sesuatu yang baru tetapi lebih kepada meniru ataupun mengadaptasikan gaya dan disesuaikan dengan keadaan sekeliling. 

Dalam hal saya dan Jay Kay, saya memang cuba meniru dan mengadaptasikan gayanya. Kunci utama di dalam fesyen Jay Kay ialah baju kemeja jalur, loose straight jeans, topi yang pelbagai jenis (kadangkala pelik),slim sport/turtle neck jacket or  dan statement shades.

Rambutnya pula seakan-akan dibiarkan tanpa disikat. Berserabai dan tidak terurus. Tetapi jika diperhatikan, gaya potongan rambutnya tetap kemas. Rambutnya hanya dibiarkan panjang disesetengah bahagian seperti belakang dan tepi.

Jay Kay juga telah mereka pakaian bersama Hugo Boss iaitu JK for HUGO

Gaya Jay Kay bolehlah dikategorikan sebagai ‘effortless’ and ‘cool’.  Tambah pula dengan badannya yang kurus dan tinggi, seakan-akan apa yang dipakainya kena dengan dirinya!

Ini adalah beberapa gaya Jay Kay yang boleh dijadikan inspirasi!

Statement oversized shades never look better with leather jacket and polka dots shirt!
