A Club Kid's Life

This is a post i did for femmething. Sharing a part of a club kid's life and the sweats and hard work behind the outfits and horrible make up. But we would never complain coz it's fun! Can you guess which one is me?




Many have heard about the term "club kid" but how many actually got it right? Many misuse the term to describe frequent club goers but the real meaning behind it lies a history that properly consist more sweat and efforts than the two words.

You probably seen the movie "Party Monster" and heard about "Studio 54". The glamourous of it, and the ugly truth behind that fabulous make up. But would you be shocked if I tell you real club kids are still around and actively doing the things they believe in and still living the legend?



We know about dressing up to club, but to outdo one another creativity is a lot of effort. The clubkids would plan what they would want wear to the next party, stitch and handmade, pins and needles, and acting fabulously. From the days of Studio 54, to the days of Taboo and Blitz; the kids have find a way to express themselves through their costumes and makeup. A place where all like minded people get together and dance the night away.

REPLAY: NIKE Media Styling Session

I was invited by NIKE Malaysia for a media styling session giving tips and ideas on how to transform your daily sportswear into something more fashion forward and street chic. Here is the post from femmething. Enjoy.






Last 15^th October Femmething was invited to a Nike styling session done by our very own stylist Ethan Chu. Nike Malaysia introduced their latest Holiday 2009 collection featuring some of training and active wear from Nike Women’s Training. Held in The Curve, Petaling Jaya, Nike showcased what women can do to look good and train right. Ethan having worked with Nike before revealed a series of outfits for women using gym wear/ sport wear making it as trendy and stylish to be worn anywhere, whether it’s at the gym or out to a club. A few of the highlight pieces are the AW77 Fleece Hoodie, Air Maxim and Windrunner that are designed to be the pinnacle of both performance and style. Also remember the Limited Edition Nike Zoom Sister One posted previously. Well it is now available in Malaysia. YUM!

Introducing: Yang Du

This is my post for femmething. Yang Du has always been one of my favourite. I love it. I think the 3 words is not enough so I feel I have to introduce her to you personally to show my appreciation of her work.




In love with Yang Du, always. Remember we did a feature on Yang Du? Recently, Yang Du presents her whimsical fashion exhibition at the Assembly Rooms, London. Displays are a range of knitted porkchop jumpers, rabbit cactus hats, beaded bears and tuxedos with elephant headwear.





"I am happy when people tell me that my collection made them laugh" Says Yang Du.

Not only it made me laugh, it makes me happy. I would be happier if I get to wear her creations someday!

Femmething Exclusive: National Day Shoot

This is a shoot I did for our Malaysia National Day with my team for femmething. Makeup by Josh Bryan Ho and Hair by Keigo Khoo from Unique Hairoom. Photography by Jules@Streething.

We had an idea of taking the shoot to various landmark that represent Malaysia such as Chinese Temple, Primary School, Mamak Stalls, Batu Caves and China Town. But as soon as we started make up and hair, the rain started to pour heavily... and it went on and on so we had to rework on the location last minute so we did a daily worker's life.. well... warehouse worker, fruit seller, school teacher, shop worker and secretary. Well, not many dressed like that to work but it's national day. We always have the excuse :)

Woo-hoo! Happy National Day!!! We love the holidays, don't ya? We here at femmething are proud to be Malaysians and here we bring you our very own exclusive fashion shoot as a tribute to National Day. You know the life of our daily working individuals. We make them fabulous! Whether is the school teacher, fruit seller or the warehouse worker; we make them so fashionably hot! Just like we want ourselves to be! Hope you guys like it! Enjoy!
