song of style ♥'s one teaspoon

Song of Style's Aimee Song has been a long-time fan of One Teaspoon's, particularly favouring their customized denim, little dresses and leather pieces.  Recently on her blog, Aimee has been wearing a heavy rotation of her One Teaspoon favourites; from her trashed boyrfriend jeans which she paired with sexy strappy stilettos and a blazer, to her perforated black leather track shorts which she wore with a sporty tank and sexy heels, to her crystal embellished cut-offs which she complemented with a silk shirt and pointy-toe pumps.  No matter how she wears it, One Teaspoon looks like it was made for her!  We can't wait to see what Aimee of Song of Style wears from the label next.

stormy weather

So, it's been miserable, gloomy, rainy, stormy weather in Hong Kong all week and, according to the weather report, it's going to remain much the same through the weekend, all the way until the end of next week.  I mean, seriously, is it just us or have we entirely skipped over summer this year?  As a result of this horrific weather, we've noticed that everyone around us seems to have given up on trying to put any remote sort of effort into getting dressed each day.  Sweatpants are not daytime appropriate, people!  And we have never been more bored of black.  Ever.  We think we all need a bit of rainy weather fashion inspiration.  Take a cue from some of these ladies and amp up your rainy day outfit game, everybody!

sass & bide's ethical fashion initiative

If you are a fan of sass & bide then you will be familiar with how each collection often features some sort of cultural, tribal element to it.  This is because the label's designers Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton, are avid travelers and often find inspiration abroad.  Their collections, however, go beyond just finding inspiration in the work of local artisans; sass & bide often work with the local craftsmen to contribute to several pieces in their collections.  The girls are firm believers that creative collaborations such as theirs with local artisans can help to lift these highly-skilled people out of poverty.  That's why it made perfect sense when the International Trade Centre asked sass & bide, among other designer such as Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney, to participate in their Ethical Fashion Initiative.  For the project, the sass & bide girls travelled to Kenya immediately after their London Fashion Week show to visit its largest slum and home to countless highly skilled artisans, Kibera.  The girls then worked with some of the local craftsmen on a selection of pieces for their collection.  Watch the uplifting video documenting the girls' journey below and start supporting the dying art of local craftsmanship!

rubberband in superga

Ever since RubberBand came onto the Canto-pop scene in Hong Kong in 2004, they have been making a name for themselves as a group with a unique sound and a real devotion to their music.  Made up of four guys from varied backgrounds, each of their different interests and upbringings has contributed greatly to RubberBand's individual take on Canto-pop.  They also always look like a cool group of guys with whom you'd love to hang-out; each of their music videos depicts them doing some fun sun-filled activity, from cycling along the waterfront, to marching down the sea line, to a video driven by action figures for protagonists!  So we were thrilled when we saw three of the band member of RubberBand sporting classic Superga sneakers--they are perfect for RubberBand's fun-loving, creative and stylish lifestyle!
