Below: M Jeans, made exclusively for tall men (over 1.82m). Now tall guys will not face the frustration of not being able to find a well fitted pair of jeans! M Jeans founder, Mark Seeger has created the perfect cut after years of research and trials:-) Mark looking very cute in his modelling pics:-P



Below: Tall men or ladies who want the tall man in your life to look as good as Mark, please check out www.m-jeans.com!



Below: Love the label design and all the detailing... it's what makes a pair of jeans stand out!



Below: The red stitching and pocket design is looking incredibly good! Understated but distinctive:-)

M Jeans Launches! Exclusively For TALL Men

I once had a real problem looking for clothes that fit me. Hard to believe, but there was a time in fashion history where menswear means outfitting for guys who have some muscles or at least some bulk. Slim guys like myself often find ourselves dwarfed by ill-fitting baggy clothing that swallows our slimmer frames. Thank goodness the fashion gods heard our pleas for help and sent forth a fashion genius, the name of Hedi Slimane who redefined menswear silhouettes. Even after his departure from Dior Homme, Hedi Slimane's slim fitted cuts and aesthetics remain a strong legacy in mens fashion. The idea of wearing more fitted clothes are welcomed by many more designers. Skinny jeans and slim fitted shirts have now become a staple in many fashionable mens' wardrobes.

Hence, I totally understand the frustration of not finding clothing that fit your body type. Little do I know beyond slim men, taller guys face this fashion problem as well. U might think, what ridicule am I blabbering about? Everyone wishes to be tall. Being tall is a blessing, especially when you need fixing a light bulb or tower over your peers in a crowded concert... so why is it a problem at all? Well from a fashion point of view, height is good, but when towering above the average, at over 1.82 metres, it means a TALL order to locate a pair of well fitted pants anywhere. And that includes men’s most quintessential piece of wardobe, a good pair of JEANS! Jeans are a must have for any guy!

Being over 1.82 metres and taller in height, conventional jeans cannot cater to the longer legs for these uniquely ‘physiqued’ guys. They are either too short or by choosing a larger size equates wearing a huge potato sack.

Fret not, tall men of the world... The fashion gods have answered your prayers. They have sent forth yet another saviour to solve another fashion crisis! This time it is none other than Singapore based, American export, Mark Seeger. He has just launched his new line of mens jeans, named M JEANS. Meticulously researched and tested, just for those taller men who never seem to be able to find a well fitted pair in any retail store.

Motivated by his disappointing store experience time and again, Mark started sewing his own jeans (wow, a man who can sew is impressive!). And with years of research in getting the right measurements, Mark perfected his version of tall men’s jeans. He became his own spokesperson by wearing them, and after seeing how great he looked in them, word got around and soon, hordes of tall men facing the same frustration start to make a beeline for his jeans.

Now Mark has officially launched M Jeans and offering them to all tall men of the world (He ships international from his website: www.m-jeans.com). M Jeans uses only select raw denim, no washes, rips or tears. The unique 5 pocket design exudes modest confidence and subtlety, embodied by hidden features such as suede pockets and vintage stitching. M Jeans are manufactured in 2 factories, one in Los Angeles, USA and the other in Guatemala.

“Suitable for the relaxed business-casual workplace. No longer do tall men have to put up with limited and inferior choices when it comes to jeans fashion.” Mark explained. "We want to give tall guys the confidence to be stylish and the ability to experiment with fashion like everyone else.”

Thank you Mark, the world just got more 'beautiful' now with more tall guys getting better fitted jeans:-) Get your pair of M Jeans online (USD150) at http://www.m-jeans.com/shop (M Jeans is sold exclusively online). But you can also email Mark (sales@m-jeans.com) to share your queries and concerns... He will be most happy to address any of your questions. Mark is very friendly and loves interacting with his customers.

Interesting trivia about M Jeans: The Finance minister of Thailand counts himself as one of M Jeans' customer. That should say a lot on how good a fit these jeans will have on tall men:-P

PS. Ladies, these jeans will be perfect for the tall men in your life... So shop away too!

Below: Sebastian and Jesper Lund... 2 of my favourite male models... brothers posing in underwear? Oh my... must be awkard:-P


Dolce & Gabbana – Uomini

Dolce & Gabbana
has always embraced the alpha male types in terms of the men whom they envision their clothes most suit. So it is very appropriate for them to celebrate these masculine archetypes and published a volume that seeks inspirations from these male beauty ideal which transcends times, trends and culture. Titled Uomini (= men), the book is a part of Dolce & Gabbana Mens 20th Anniversary celebration and supports Project EUPLOOS (www.linesonline.org)

Get ready for major nose bleed as you browse thru the pages of this beautifully photographed book, lensed by Mariano Vivanco both in black and white and colour. David Gandy, Sebastian and Jesper Lund, Miguel Iglesias... are just some of the beautiful male faces to grace the pages of the book. And bear in mind, they are either wearing Dolce & Gabbana's sexy underwear or nothing:-P

I shall leave you to peruse the book in its entirety and 'nudity' at your own leisure, of course after you get the book for yourself. But here's some pics (of course, more 'General' rated ones.) for your viewing pleasure.

I love the shot of David Gandy and the Lund Brothers!

Below: The Céline metal cuff which I am obsessed over now! So hard to find!


Victoria Beckham Spotted With Her Céline Box Leather Shoulder Bag And Metal Gold Cuffs


Mrs Beckham, one of the most watch style stars of our time seems to have catched on the Céline fever as well. Not only is she seen exiting her Manhattan Hotel clutching her Céline Large Box Leather Bag...but on her wrist is my current obsession... those highly elusive Céline Gold Metal Cuffs which I absolutely must track down a bigger size for myself!

Love! Now I have more reasons and conviction that I need to get myself a larger gold Céline Metal Cuff Bracelet... I sold my small size today... so sad to part with it after so much trouble locating it and utilising all the personal favours!

Below: (SOLD) Brand new, protective sticker still intact, Céline Gold Metal Cuff Bracelet for sale! Hot off the lookbook of Céline's Spring 2011 collection. Not available in Singapore's Céline's Boutique... so this is your chance! Click here if you are interested in owning this fabulous accessory!


Below: Just got it today...but too small for me:-( Sob sob... but my lady colleague tried it and it fits perfect! Lucky ladies!



Below: As seen on the Spring 2011 lookbook... gorgeous bracelet to glamourise any outfit in an understated Céline way!


Céline Spring 2011 Gold Metal Cuff Bracelet FOR SALE! (SOLD)

Gorgeous piece of Céline Spring 2011 Gold Metal Cuff Bracelet finding a new home! I cannot fit into these bracelets despite the dimensions given... I guess I was too excited in getting these that I did not think about the sizing properly. I think I need a Large size instead of the small I got.:-( So now I am looking for that lucky girl (or lucky guy!) to own this fabulous accessory! So sad, I cannot fit! Not sold in Singapore Céline boutiques and there is a long waitlist if this ever hits the stores. Don't miss this chance! This bracelet is brand new with transparent protective sticker still intact (The pictures above shows the transparent plastic film). Email me @curveorange@gmail.com if interested.

(Another way to gauge if you fit is to compare it to Hermès Clic Clac H Bracelet in PM size. Hermès is oval in shape with diameter widest at 5.4cm. This Céline is round shape and is widest at 5cm. If you find wearing Hermès Clic Clac H at PM size too loose, then this Céline will probably fit you perfect:-P I wear Hermès Clic Clac H at PM size and it is just right, hence why this Céline is too tight:_(

Click on the sale link here for more pics and info. on my bag sale blog. And do check out my other items for sale here, from Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Balenciaga, Loewe, Bally and many more!

*Update: The Cuff Bracelet has found a new fabulous owner:-P

Below: The jacket as seen on Givenchy's SS2011 Mens runway show...


Brad Goreski in Givenchy Spring Summer 2011 Leopard Print Bomber Jacket

If there's someone who can flaunt a full on leopard prints and still make it look relevant and non overkill, it has to be Brad Goreski! (Okay Bryanboy can... but there are not a lot of fierce fashion fans like Bryan around)

Paired with his signature preppy 'geek chic' look (and his ever cute black rim glasses!)... the Givenchy Leopard Print Bomber Jacket simply looked hot and in a strange way, wearable. Now I covet leopard prints on clothing, sans all the fetish and stigma associated with guys wearing these feral prints.

Brad has a Midas touch on clothes. Anything on him just looked super hot anyday!

Below: Another Mulberry Bag that deserves to be mentioned... Meet Mulberry Edie, a 'Bayswater inspired School boy' style bag (Think Alexa) that comes with a special Guitar strap...



Below:Oak sparkle tweed adding that subtle shine to the already gorgeous bag...


Below: The large version in heavy grained leather...


Below: Look closely at the Guitar strap, it's got 4 rabbits converging around a rose... cute and quirky at the same time:-) I love!



Below: The large version is well proportioned against any girl's build, especially fabulous with jeans...



Press Day Visit #03: Mulberry Edie

Here's more updates from my recent Mulberry Press Day showroom visit...

One more bag that deserves to be shared on my blog... meet the lovely Edie, the latest addtion to Mulberry's ever growing bag family. Inspired by the brand's iconic Bayswater bag, the Edie is a amalgamation of Bayswater details (postman lock) with the school boy bag styles (think Alexa) that many of us love so much. But what makes this Edie Bag special are these versions that comes not just with your typical leather shoulder strap (there are also regular strap versions), but it's with a embroidered Guitar Strap (detachable). If you observe the Guitar strap closely, it's not any ethnic patterns you see for the design, but 4 rabbits converging around a rose. These cute pattern fully expresses Emma Hill's quirky but fun aesthetics for Spring Summer 2011. I love it!

The Edie Bag in Oak Sparkle Tweed (SGD1590) or the Large Black Heavy Grain leather version (SGD1990) are well suited for all occasions, be it work or play. The proportions for the large Edie is looking fabulous on any girl, jeans and smart casual looks (see the modelling pic above). The Guitar strap just adds that extra zest in personality, not to mention a touch of subtle pink to sweeten any day.

Below: Last Friday I had the pleasure of attending the press conference of the Inaugural Mens Fashion Week 2011 Singapore... Singapore will be the 3rd in the world to have a dedicated Mens Fashion Week, after Milan and Paris. This is a very exciting news for the fashion scene in Singapore!


Below: Before the press conference, media guests were treated to the sights and sounds of some 'backstage frenzy' you usually see at a fashion show. It was entertaining to mingle among the gorgeous models and stylist, while they worked together to play 'dress up'! Look who I found... A 'Hugh Jackman' lookalike model who looked so handsome in Emmanuel:-)



Below: Another model wearing Etro SS2011... Etro will be one of the international names participating in this Inaugural Mens Fashion Week 2011 Singapore...


Below: More shots of the 'Hugh Jackman' lookalike, who is hotter, cuter, slimmer and younger... Love his silvery brocade jacket!


Below: I tried to sneak a shot of the male models undressing... but I was too engrossed in watching them myself, my fingers was too slow. Oops!


Below: Clothes from Etro...


Below: Clothes from Emmanuel...

Below: Supermodel, Philip Huang will be the face of the event... Seen here with local celebrities Julian Hee (left) and MTV VJ, Utt (right)...


Inaugural Mens Fashion Week 2011 Singapore: 30 March - 4 April 2011

Can you ever imagine a tiny dot on the world map, insignificant previously, to finally grow into a bright shining star on the world fashion platform? Yes, Singapore, small as it may be... will rise to take fashion centrestage as the 3rd country in the world to host a dedicated mens fashion week (after Milan and Paris). To share this piece of good news, organisers Fide Multimedia and One International Holdings held a press conference/preview last Friday for the local and international media to hype up the event.

I had the privilege of being a part of this press conference, held 55th levels up Orchard Road at Ion Sky. Before the press conference starts, guests were treated to the sights and sounds of a mock backstage setting, allowing them to have a taste of what goes on during an actual fashion show. Celebrity stylist, David Gan lends his creative expertise to style the gorgeous cast of male models, all in the presence of the many media guests. Definitely an entertaining and enriching experience to see cute male eye candy running around (sometimes half naked) and hurriedly changed into different sets of outfits by dressers and stylists. What we see on the runways are the hard work of a team of highly dedicated professionals, remember to show your applause when you attend any fashion shows. Needless to say, I enjoyed this presentation and it's many eye candies but was even more thrilled to be able to fondle the ready-to-wear pieces from participating brands for this Inaugural Mens Fashion Week 2011 Singapore.

The five day event, starting from 30 March to 3 April 2011, will showcase the Autumn Winter 2011 collections of up to 15 renowned brands (think Canali, Etro, Boss Black by Hugo Boss, Emmanuel, Versace) including some Asian big names with an international presence (Raoul, Shanghai Tang). There will also be showcase of other carefully selected Asian and Singaporean talents which enhances the depth of inspirations and experience for the event. 30% of the seats will be open to the public with tickets costing about SGD40.

Super model, Philip Huang (who has walked in countless international runways) has also been appointed as the face of this Inaugural Mens Fashion Week 2011 Singapore, adding more star appeal to this important event.

I can't wait! Singapore has come so far in being regarded as an important fashion destination, and this Inaugural Mens Fashion Week 2011 Singapore just affirms it.

Below: Another post from my Press Day visit at Club 21 Global's HQ, Como House:-P This time, it's all about our favourite Mulberry brand... Read on for some of my favourites:-) and outstanding pieces.



Press Day Visit #02: Mulberry Spring Summer 2011 Bag Collection

More Press Day coverage at Club 21 Global's Como House earlier this week:-) Here's the report from my Mulberry showroom tour of their upcoming Spring Summer 2011 bags.

Each season, Mulberry provides their loyal fans with a huge selection of bags, ranging from updated classics to new designs. Spring Summer 2011 is no exception. Amongst the many choices we are lovingly showered with, I had a very tough time narrowing it down to this few I adore the most. Not that I am becoming a girl, but if I was (which is not likely to happen, I like being a guy:-P), these are the bags I would carry myself:-P Girls always seem to have more fun in fashion and I am sometimes very jealous.

1) The Tillie family is new to the season and takes on the hot trend of school bag style satchels which everyone is clamouring about. The Tillie family is relaxed in shape (I especially love the soft and slouchy powder beige sparkle tweed, exemplifying the casual 'one bag fits all occassions' attitude) and characterised by eye catching trompe l’oeil hardware closure (a luxe solid metal piece engraved with outlines of a belt buckle, creating a new hardware signature).

The Tillie family's consists of 3 key styles, the Tillie, Tillie Tote and Tillie Hobo (there are also additional variants such as Oversized Tillie, Tillie Drawstring Shoulder and Small Tillie Drawstring Messenger) These 3 key styles is created to suit the lifestyle of any cool and sassy Mulberry girl. Both the Tillie and Tillie Tote have a shoulder strap that allows for hands free cross body carrying, while allowing for hand carry option. The Tillie Hobo on the other hand has a smarter appeal and looks ready to carry it all for the working girl. A glamourous bag for both office and off-work play time. Special thanks to Mulberry's sweet and pretty PR, I am able to demonstrate how the bag looks on a actual person (the benefits of showroom visits!). From the modelling pics, size is simply proportionately perfect for any girl. Wear the Tillie in your way, sweet or sassy? You decide:-)

Below: The sweet Powder Beige Tillie is the epitome of masculine/feminine contrast... a school boy style satchel that seems to share the same attitude of its famous sister, Alexa... except the Tillie has more bling and glam with those metal hardware. Don't you love the rose gold colour of the hardware?


Below: The trompe l’oeil closure buckle is a signature detail of the Tillie family:-)


Below: Comes in Oak Silky Snake Print with a chain shoulder strap... a touch of exotic and bling to up the luxe factor!


Below: Details on the side...the Oak Silky Snake Print is trimmed with metallic leather and embellished with metal rivets:-)



Below: The D-Ring hardware on the front, another recognisable detail for the Tillie family...


Below: A versatile style, the Tillie Hobo is just right in proportion never overwhelming a girl's build, and yet functions perfectly as an easy tote with options to hand carry or arm sling...


Below: Or even cross body sling with the shoulder strap...



Below: The Tillie Hobo no the other hand, is smart and roomy for all your office needs...



2) Another of my favourite is the Small Bayswater Satchel. Bayswater is the bag that propelled Mulberry's to fashion stardom and success. I welcome this update to the now classic design. Trimming it down to a more petite size and added a shoulder strap, this is one bag for lazy afternoon tea and a stroll in the city. This version of Powder Beige Maxi Grained Leather and Rose Gold hardware will especially win the hearts of many girls.

Below: First impressions of the Small Bayswater Satchel is 'SO CUTE'... A dainty bag for all those afternoon high teas and sunday shopping...


Below: Looks great being shoulder carried:-P Don't you agree?


Below: Rose gold hardware is simply gorgeous...


3) Lastly, the most scene stealing bag amongst the entire collection and also one of the most expensive Mulberry bag ever made... The Jewelled Lily in Camel Suede. Intricately embellished with aplenty gold studs, diamonte and crystals, this meticulously crafted 'work-of-art' outshines its bag peers and is the ultimate show-stopping arm candy for evening parties. That is if you can 'shoulder' the weight (so much studs!) and also the astronomical price tag of approx. SGD9,000:-)

Below: Pricing is astronomical and perhaps not for everyone... but undeniably the Jewelled Lily in Camel Suede is one scene strealer with all that bling and glam:-P


Below: Look at the intricate work involved to decorate the entire Lily bag:-P


Which one will you pick? With so many styles, there's bound to be one Mulberry that will tickle your fancy this Spring Summer 2011:-)
