Apple Tree accessories, we heart very much. The Thai label crafts out some fantastic and whimsical designs in silver and sometimes resin. Its designs are characterized by simple and witty styles that are youthful with a tinge of childhood nostalgia. There are humourous overtones in tea party designs or the rabbit with a scissors stuck out of its head – slightly macabre but also fun because the rabbit is too cute! There’s always something ticklish in misfortunate bunnies.

A.P.C rarely veers off from their clean aesthetics, so their A/W09 ad campaign was a bit of a surprise. Shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, culturesinbetween.net describes the campaign images as a “… dark beauty, mixing woven thick colours with graphic and pattern prints that perpetuates a bright warmth within a hellish season of weather and changing skies.” Well, yes. If it’s the same sort of photographic design aesthetics employed on Bjork CD covers, hell, it’s interesting and pretty enough – we don’t mind that at all. .

The French anti-brand do what they do best for A/W 09. These are mix and match exercises of basic staples that implore you to infuse a fair bit of individual styling (come on, there’s no effort in sensational pieces!)

This season, the interest is in the texture and fabrics. The lads can dabble with cobalt blue jumpers with tiny red, pinkish flacks, or quirky palette combinations in ultra-soft plaid shirts. Say what you want about corduroy, but the mustard and cherry coloured corduroy cords are just dandy. The core theme of tartan plaid continues in the women’s range. Highlights are the plaid ruffled front shirt, cream t-shirts with a minimal/vintage flock print, and the straight cut sleeveless dress with cuffed shoulders. The crepe jersey material adds a nice weight to the flattering cut.

A.P.C A/W10 is now available at Front Row | 5 ann siang road

Remember L.A Gear? Those sneakers which had soles that lighted up as you walked? My sister and I had a pair each when we were kids. They were the essence of cool. I would jump around a lot just to show off the lights, much to the amusement of my relatives. Unfortunately the trend died, as did the battery, so the sneakers were chucked aside, and the excitement we felt when we gazed down at our walking feet accompanied by flashing lights, was forgotten. I kinda miss them.

But obviously Mr Jimmy Choo (or rather, Tamara Mellon), didn’t forget. Or perhaps someone in the Choo house got inspired by Chanel’s light-bulb heels, because look! Jimmy Choo’s with plexiglass heels that light up!

Very useful, I must say. Think of what fashionistas could do with these. (1) They could dance in beat to the music at some club, and provide extra visual lighting effects. You can then tell whether they have any rhythm too. (2) They could share gossip in Morse code with another fashionista seated elsewhere. (3) When crossing the street at night, the motorists and drivers couldn’t miss you. (4) They could provide some light in the case of a blackout by, er, repeated, constant stomping.

I wonder what’s next. Why don’t the great shoe designers create killer heels that boast the comfort of crocs instead? Practicality, practicality.
