project runway (pirated version) 8:58 PM

Lately been hooked on this fashion photographer's blog, the sartorialist. He's pretty famous, seeing as how he gets invites to almost all fashion events. Ivy probably told me about this before, because it jogged my memory when I read about him from Marie Claire. There are a couple things that struck me about this dude.. firstly, he doesn't go for just high end fashions, although like all self-respecting fashion photographers he can spot a manolo blahnik when he sees one. And he can probably also tell you which season which year its from. But no, he photographs everybody from runway model to flea market hawker. Anyone who dresses not just fashionably, but also interestingly.

Another thing that struck me about him is his photography. This guy is probably photographer first, fashionista second. A lot of fashion photographers make models pose and then take shots from angles that look best etc. But this guy, he has to work with what he has, to shoot just random people walking in the streets. Precisely because of how difficult that is, and yet how he always manages to capture that picture perfect moment. Below is my favourite picture so far, beautiful woman strolling on the beach, colorful sundress, straw bag, beaded sandals, dog beside her. The best part? The setting sun at the back.

To be able to capture that perfect moment, where each step looks so random, relaxed, yet so beautiful. Amazing. Maybe I should pick up fashion photography as a hobby.. since I'm interested in fashion, I'm interested in photography.. now I just need to get that DSLR.. hmm waiting for my angbao money heehee.

Back to my boring version of project runway.. now I feel so inadequate kns.

Green sweater, black turtleneck. According to sartorialist, thats the 2 hottest elements this season in France (or was it Italy). SCORE!

This is what happens when I tried to be artistic. I was testing the Macro function in my canon.. apparently didn't turn out too well, although some might argue I look best this way kns.

This was the day between when the weather was crazy cold and today when the weather suddenly went really warm. So that was a really perfect balance between cold and warm, the temperature winter should be like. (pretend u cannot see that unmade bed behind.. i know its a far cry from a beach and setting sun as a background)

My favourite sweater this season from Banana republic, with black turtleneck. Love it because of its unique color, and how its 40% wool so it keeps me really warm, and how it doesn't get 'hairy' after repeated washes hehe

Same sweater, pink top. A more casual look.

On a particularly cold day... all wrapped up.

Plaid... last season's favourite but too comfortable.. love it!

Thats all folks.. look out for more as KS tries to polish up her photography!

Welcome to the blog of 武林盟主. In this space of hers, she is entitled to and responsible for her own thoughts and comments. You are welcome to give your few cents worth in the tag, but do not force her to accept your thoughts should they differ from hers. If everyone thinks the same way we would all be robots no?

武林盟主 is this pugilistic genius everyone calls a deranged lunatic. But that's cos they haven't witnessed her great powers yet! She can be regarded as the best product coming from the Pugislistic World in the past 100 years, and 武當, 少林 and 峨嵋 are scrambling to get her to be their 掌门人. She likes think of herself as the next 杨过, 郭靖 or 张无忌.

武林盟主 also has this slightly straight slightly crooked sexuality. At times when the Estrogen triumphs, she preys on hot guys. Other times when the Testosterone levels peak, she preys on hot girls. Some say that is a side effect of the 葵花宝典. Her doctors are still working to establish that.

Many say she's invincible. But that's not true. Bring a DURIAN in front of her, and she will ditch her sword and raise the white flag. She's still desperately trying to master the 闭气功 so she can overcome this weakness.

She now resides in a tiny little room in a tiny little building in a tiny little university/hospital in the tiny little city of Baltimore, studying her tiny little life away in the hopes of getting some Permanent Head Damage. If you feel you can communicate at her level and wish for her to be your soulmate, feel free send her a note of pugilistic admiration and alliance!
