the big 500

We're not one to brag, but, this is our 500th post for the Electric sekki blog, so we thought we'd take the time out to celebrate this social media milestone.  We've come a long way since our very first post and we've met some incredible people along the way; we'd like to take this 500th post to recognise all of these inspirational colleagues, co-workers and friends that have contributed to the blog and to Electric sekki in any way, no matter how big or small.  Here's to the next 500!


Paris Fashion Week
We brought you all the latest from the front-rows, the showrooms and the streets at Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2012 and Spring/Summer 2013.

We spotted the inimitable Anna Dello Russo on more than one occasion; it's like spotted a rare bird in the jungle!

We've known and loved Christine Centenera back when she was a lesser known but just as fabulously fashionable editor at Harper's Australia.

We spotted so many style icons, including the beautiful and elegant Olivia Palermo.

We even spotted MA-JOR super-stylist Rachael Zoe with her super cute BFF Joey.

We took you to Sydney to experience all that the incredibly rich fashion scene there has to offer.

We hung out with Fashion Toast and Bryan Boy at the ksubi show.  

We got to sneak backstage and hang-out with all the coolest kids in town.

We produced a series of four fashion blogger stories with Forever 21 in celebration of their opening earlier in 2012 in Causeway Bay.

London Show Rooms
Electric sekki proudly presented The British Fashion Council's London SHOW Rooms initiative twice in Hong Kong in 2011 and again in 2012.

In 2011, the collective welcomed Roksanda Illincic, Jonathan Saunders, E. Tautz, Mary Katrantzou, Nicolas Kirkwood, Peter Pilotto, Todd Lynn, Holly Fulton and Louise Gray to Hong Kong with the London SHOW Rooms initiative.

In 2012, London SHOW Rooms took a greater menswear focus, inviting Matthew Miller, Aitor Throup, E. Tautz, Agi & Sam, William Richard Green, Peter Pilotto, Shaun Samson, Nicholas Kirkwood, Lee Roach, Dominic Jones, Jonathan Saunders and Roksanda Illincic to Hong Kong.

Electric sekki prides itself in being a leader in video content in Asia.  We've brought you so much video content, from an exclusive interview with House of Holland's Henry Holland at LAB CONCEPT, to a backstage and a front-row video at Chalayan's Paris Fashion Week F/W '12 and S/S '13 shows, to interviews with top British designers showing at London Show Rooms, to an exclusive conversation with top Chinese model Ju Xiao Wen, to many, many more!  Thanks to HKHQ.tv for all the help.  Here are just some of our favourites below, but you can watch all of our videos here.






We had the pleasure of working with top creative personalities in the industry in our first Les Artistes project.  Electric sekki were the first in the industry to produce a project like this, celebrating individual style and talent.  We were honored to work with top New York photographer, Daniel Garriga, who has shot everyone from Heidi Klum to Tyra Banks to Liu Wen.


A fashion posse!  Working with The Wanderlister+, Omar Khan, Fashion Hedonism, Alan See of The Armoury and Boris Burgess of HKHQ.tv.

The bright, energetic and ever cool DJ Eve Speciall.

Gorgeous Cindiddy.

For 2012, Electric sekki took it back to the streets and back to the basics; we worked with individuals we've come to know, respect and appreciate in our beloved fashion industry.
