killing it in camilla & marc

Lately, we've seen a lot of our favourite women wearing camilla & marc at events around town, including model Jennifer Tse 謝婷婷, actress and recent 2013 Gold Rooster Award winner Song Jia 宋佳 and Chinese megastar actress Yao Chen 姚晨.  We think it's safe to say that the label has finally landed in Asia with huge success!  The label is known in their native Australia as being one of the country's few truly luxury labels, whose aesthetic is sleek, sophisticated and utterly modern.  These three gorgeous ladies chose pieces from the camilla & marc Resort 2014 collection, whose palette was largely monochromatic, featuring chic yet sexy pieces that we are all obsessed with here at the Electric sekki showroom.  We can't wait to see who wears the label next!

spotted: yao chen in chalayan

Yao Chen 姚晨 is not your typical Chinese actress.  Aside from being one of the top-billing stars in Asia at the moment, both critically acclaimed and beloved by the Chinese public, Yao Chen has also held the record of having the largest number of Weibo followers in the world for several years now.  And she wields that power for a good cause, using it to speak up about important cultural and social issues.  She is also endearingly down-to-earth.  In public appearances, she prefers low-key looks and natural hair and make-up.  So it made perfect sense for Yao Chen to select a gorgeous, relaxed-chic look from Chalayan's Resort 2014 collection to promote her latest film, Control <控制>, which she stars in alongside top Chinese actor, Daniel Wu.  Consisting of a sweatshirt style top and circle skirt, the look perhaps is an atypical choice for a top actress to wear for press interviews, but Yao Chen wears it graciously, while her elegance and poise lift the outfit to incredible new glamorous heights.  Yao Chen styled the look by pushing up the sleeves, letting her hair loose and applying minimal make-up, but she finishes it off with a pair of killer strappy stilettos.  We love this look on Yao Chen, don't you?

house of holland is everywhere

House of Holland has been on a roll lately.  Having just opened up hugely successful corner at Siam Paragon mall in Bangkok and showed an acclaimed Spring/Summer 2014 collection at London Fashion Week, House of Holland has become an must-wear designer amongst celebrities around the world.  In fact, we've already spotted American actress Elizabeth Banks of the The Hunger Games film trilogy wearing a dress hot off the S/S '14 House of Holland runway.  And, due to Henry Holland's long-standing support of and involvement in the music industry, well-know DJ's and fashion icons, Harley Viera-Newton and Leigh Lezark are frequently spotted in his designs.  In Asia, he's recently been spotted on top Chinese actress, Zhao Wei, as well as on Hong Kong celebrities such as Canto-pop star Fiona Sit, actress Karena Ng and model Kathy Chow, all wearing pieces from his Resort 2014 collection.  Henry's bright and cheerful designs have long been a favourite amongst celebrities who want to have a bit of fun on the red carpets, so we can't wait to see who wears House of Holland next!

baller bloggers

Stylestalker is always a favourite of fashion bloggers; the cool nonchalance of the brand's image, mixed in with a touch of undeniable sex appeal, and all at a very attractive price point, makes it a go-to brand for these fashionable ladies.  Season after season, we see some of our favourite bloggers sporting pieces by the label.  Stlyestalker's Fall 2013 'Baller' collection was another hit.  Inspired by the sporty silhouettes of basketball attire, as well as the too-cool attitude of famous basketball players, the 'Baller' collection has been a huge hit, both commercially and editorially.  And it's a versatile collection, too, because we've seen it pop up on bloggers with very different personal styles--they each wear pieces from the collection in their own special way, so it's interesting to see how the collection gets translated by each individual blogger.  From Tuula to The Blonde Salad to Amlul, here are some of our favourite bloggers wearing some of our favourite pieces from Stylestalker's 'Baller' collection this season.

spotted: kathy chow in camilla & marc

camilla & marc is one of Electric sekki's newest and most exciting labels to join our family this Resort 2014 season.  Hailing from Australia, camilla & marc has been around for an incredibly successful decade now and has fast become one of the most beloved and well-respected luxury clothing lines available in their homeland today.  The label is known for their aesthetic that is at once both contemporary and effortlessly elegant; it's not an easy balance to achieve, but the brother-sister duo behind the label, Camilla Freeman Topper and Marc Freeman, have managed to do so fluently since the inception of their brand.  The label has already been received amongst the Hong Kong media and press with much excitement and acclaim; famed Hong Kong actress, Kathy Chow, even recently selected a gorgeous modern halter-neck camilla & marc gown to wear to an appearance at Cartier.  She complemented the crisp white colour of the gown with sharp, gold jewelry and finished the look off with an elegant up-do.  Perfection!  We can't wait to see who wears camilla & marc next.

superga x the blonde salad

Following on from the huge success of Superga's first collaboration with top fashion blogger, The Blonde Salad, the mighty duo have returned for a second consecutive season together this fall with a selection of three brand new styles.  The shoes were designed in collaboration between the popular Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad and the Italian heritage sneaker brand, Superga; together, they came up with the inspiration of working with interesting fabrics to give a stylish twist to Superga's classic 2750 and 2790 styles.  Using leopard print and camouflage on foal hair, the 2750 is updated with a fashionable edge, while the 2790 4cm flatform was recreated in a faux crocodile leather to create a trendy take on this much-loved Superga style.  As part of the campaign to promote the collaboration, Superga tapped none other than Chiara Ferragni to be the face of the collection; she's seen wearing each style in her own stylish way while be photographed all over an urban city.  If you're looking for ways in which to wear these shoes, then the way that Chiara styled them in the campaign should be a great source of inspiration for you.  She is so on-point with her styling.  We can't wait to get our hands on these!

two lovely ladies

A dress by No. 21 by Alessandro Dell'Acqua is sure to make any gorgeous girl look even more beautiful, as proven recently by Cantopop star Fiona Sit and model/actress Karena Ng, who both chose to wear the label during recent promotional events.  No. 21 is a go-to label for anyone who's looking for that subtle balance between femininity and edge; Alessandro Dell'Acqua's designs are both classic and cool at the same time.  Both dresses that Fiona and Karena selected featured No. 21 feature the brand's signature use of Italian lace, updated in a modern way through the use of updated silhouettes and the mixing in of other contrasting materials.  Fiona and Karena both look gorgeous in these pieces by No. 21 but, let's be honest here, who wouldn't!

bird of paradise

Style Heroine is one of our favourite new upcoming fashion bloggers; the Greek beauty has impeccable style with a downtown edge and, of course, a killer bod to boot.  So when we saw her sporting the No. 21 skirt of our dreams from the Fall/Winter 2013 collection, we were ecstatic.  The aforesaid dream skirt is an utter No. 21 classic: a pencil skirt shape done in Italian lace withe embroidered birds of paradise speckled all over it.  A dreamy piece if we ever saw one!  We fell head over heels in love with it when it came down the runway and, well, Style Heroine seems to have felt the same.  Here, she pairs it with this season's must-have plaid print shirt, styled in her cool way, worn off the shoulders, with flat lace-up boots.  It's a great mix of uptown-meets-downtown and, quite frankly, we think she's worn it even better in real life than it was on the runway!  Now that's great style.

spotted: yao chen in house of holland

Yao Chen is heralded in her home country of China as the 'Queen of Weibo'; she has the largest number of followers of anyone on the Chinese social media network--over 52 million fans. So it's always a coup for designers when Yao Chen selects to wear one of their designs. On her press tour to promote her upcoming blockbuster film, My Lucky Star <<非常静距离>>, Yao Chen opted for a number by House of Holland for an appearance with her costars on a popular Chinese TV-show.  She chose a playful printed starburst tee, which she pair with an edgier starburst embellished leather skirt from House of Holland's Resort 2014 collection.  Styled in her classic, simple style, with a sleek ponytail and basic black pumps, Yao Chen's down-to-earth personality really shines through.  Yao Chen looks fantastic in the look and we can't wait to see her film, too!

supers in sass & bide

By now, we're certain that everybody knows how much we love a supermodel here at Electric sekki--especially when they're seen in one of our labels!  So we were beyond excited to see not one, but two major supers wearing sass & bide on the glossy pages of some of our favourite magazines recently.  First up is one of the original supermodels, also known in the industry as "The Body" for, well, her incredible bod, Elle MacPherson, who graces the page in nothing but a pair of worn-in sass & bide jeans.  Then there's newcomer Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who is not only a Victoria's Secret angel but also a Hollywood blockbuster actress who is also seen wearing nothing but the pair of perfect sass & bide denim cut-off shorts, all wind-blown and gorgeous at the beach.  There's nothing better than seeing gorgeous women in their element, embracing their natural side and wearing classic denim, don't you think?

sass & bide on tales of endearment

When New York casting director-turned-blogger/photographer/street style star Natalie Joos announced on her Instagram feed that she was photographing one half of the sass & bide super duo for her blog, Tales of Endearment, the internet immediately was abuzz with excitement.  The subject of her post was none other than Sarah-Jane Clarke, whom Natalie photographed in a variety of outfits at her incredibly enviable Vaucluse home in Sydney, Australia.  As one might expect from the colourful, intricate nature of sass & bide's fashions, Sarah-Jane's home is similarly styled and scattered with gorgeous trinkets and designs she's picked up on one of her dozens of exotic trips she embarks on each year with sass & bide partner Heidi Middleton to find inspiration.  Her home is incredibly inspirational and there's not much more we can think to say about it, except that we all know pictures speak louder than words, so explore the photographs below and prepare to fall in love!
