G-SHOCK x MMM

"Hmmm..." That was the kind of reaction I had upon knowing this new collaboration Margiela recently had with G-Shock. Design wise, the margiela aesthetics is still alive. That sort of "oh it's a watch or is it a bangle or wait, it could be both" kind of idea which is what I love about the brand. However, apart from that, I'm skeptical – unsure of what the label is becoming.

I do feel sad for the founder Martin Margiela himself and I'm curious to know how he is coping witnessing his label collaborating with mainstream brands; firstly with H&M and now G-Shock. (He has retired as the creative director for those who did not know) That itself, is far from the ethos his label is suppose to be. As much as the aesthetics still belongs to the house of the triple M, I would like the original and true MMM to return please.

Just a thought: Isn't it kind of interesting how hash-tagging is becoming a verb/ noun, like #ootd or #wiwt. I can't remember when was the last time I wore something more colourful/ out of the usual #blackwhitenavygreyburgundy palette but sometimes its good for a slight change.

From my trip to Yunnan last December,
Visiting lots of rocks of a million years old
Along a village
White shirt which I'll be selling, will post more details at STRB soon and a boyfriend sweater

I would like to begin with an apology on how bad I am in keeping up with this blog and I know this isn't a proper post. I am currently working on several projects, to name a few if you're wondering – Fashion ad campaign, Menswear Dandyism x exhibition, journalistic feature article, academic 3000-word essay. With other commitments I have, they're definitely enough to keep my schedule full. In the meantime, you can check my Instagram (@jojoeylow) which I'm slightly more active in, with the instant photo edit and upload.

X. MARCH

1  Topshop tshirt/ Miss Selfridges skirt

2  Topshop jeans/ H&M shoes

3  Thrifted jacket

With the lack of outfit poses I have right now, I think these few from my instagram (@jojoeylow) could suffice. I am in midst of my immense work load. Excited yet nervous how my project will turn out.

OBJECTS x HOME

i. The inaugural issue of Mrs Rake, where I interned at with The Rake. And this photo of Charlotte Rampling is ever timeless.


ii. A Jil Sander, Celine DIY paperbag clutch made by my classmate, Lesley for me.


iii. Everyone's reading it. Imagine reading a book written almost a century ago all about the roaring 20s glamour. Waiting for the school semester to end so I'll have time to read it; new pen and penknife from Lesley as well; mini bulldog clip.


iv. Vintage measuring tape I got with my friend; wrist accessories I own, I don't have many, I always wear the same ones.

School's occupying my everyday so much right now but I should abstain from lamenting whenever I blog. When it comes to room packing, there're lots of things I'd throw or keep under my bed, but I know surely these are keepers; never a junk to me. And it's already March! Before you know it its Christmas again, in 9 months, #just saying.
