It was time to indulge in the weekend’s pretty dress-up! I was invited to the “Dude & The Duchess Goes Italy”, launch of the new collection of the store located at the upper ground floor of Bangsar Village II. This weekend, I was already getting into the mood of what I call my very own current fashion theme “the modern bride”. Of gloves, frocks, tutus, hat fascinators, red lipstick, tight pants or skirts nipped at the waist, bustiers, small earrings, deep eyeliners and bold colours, I felt Katy Perry’s “Hot & Cold”.

Now I’m glad that my whole “hair issue” episode was over - apparently due to the Smooth & Silky hair shampoo and conditioner from Pantene that contained extra silicone to make the hair look smoother ended up making me hair look more greasy and clumpy. I’m back to my favourite Tresemmé. Thanks to everyone who gave me tips on saving my hair. Apparently that problem I had would lead to hair loss. Last thing I need during this period, ever!
Like my hairband?
I could so relate to Dude & The Duchess (D&D). They have a bicycle displayed at the entrance of their shop. They brought in a Vespa, also a vehicle myjojo owns in Melbourne. If D&D ever needs a 50’s - 70’s VW Kombi and a VW black beetle as their commercial vehicle, I’d be glad to assist. According to D&D, their fashion are for urban fashionistas on the go, those who take the tram in Europe and focuses on the basic simplicity in their outfits. Inspired by Parisian fashion of the 20’s mixed with contemporary elements, their designs are mostly tailored locally and in Hong Kong while the fabric’s from Europe. Scroll down for more photos of models strutting the catwalk…
My ladies chose to be in blue - coincidentally!
This was the store I was talking about earlier that had a bicycle at the entrance!
Will, Jean, Kim & May.
Champagne and more food.
Button mushrooms.
Yummy cake-bites.
Cheese on biscuit.
I turned arund and there was a new change of dish!
All from Delicious Restaurant.
There are two dudes. One with a confused face and the other who is faceless.
Yes, I am double-jointed. Guess you can tell which one’s my hand.

Sis: This is definitely inequality of gender! Is it trying to say that the guy has a brain and the girl doesn’t?
Me: I thought there’s just this third party coming between the love of this couple (the middle shadow).
So, what’s your interpretation?
There were black and white old films displayed.
The models started strutting their walk.
Tights are sexy!
Big hats are in. Big sunnies never go out of style. In fact, they accentuate your features and make your cheeks look more sunken. Unique collars with seams and lines that accentuate the figure! What’s with my fascination for the word “accentuate”?
Hat fascinators are definitely in this season’s must-have’s!
And of course, you need a man with a good body to hold. *blushes and dreams away in forlorn over to Japan*
I think my hen’s night came two weeks too early! Gulp!
With da ladies.
And of course the multi-talented designer himself, Richard Tsen.
After the show…
Any and every opportunity to have more photos taken with my lovely other half because I’ll be missing her much, soon…
Our derriere.
Itchy eyes again, couldn’t resist. I guess it was okay for me to try out those shoes.
Luckily the sole wasn’t comfortable. *grins*
That wasn’t the end of the day though…. To be continued….
