summer lovin'

Take it from us: S/S '12 is going to be an amazing season for fashion.  Especially if you like colour.  It seems that designers are trying to thwart any predictions about an oncoming economic depression by offering up collections bursting at the seams with bright colours and fun prints, as if to say, "What depression?"  From rainbow brights at House of Holland, to sequins and neons at sass & bide, to tropical florals at No. 21 by Alessandro Dell'Acqua, to neon lace at Peter Som, the list of optimistic fabrics goes on and on.  But that's enough talking from us.  Have a look through our showroom yourself.

spring forward

Today, the Electric sekki team has been running around the showroom with press from all corners of Asia, presenting the Spring 2012 collections from our wonderfully talented and inspiring portfolio of clients.  Now, it's time to kick back, relax and enjoy a glass of champagne.  Cheers to the start of the S/S '12 season; we hope to see you all in the showroom this year!

whisky, mystics & men

One Teaspoon has quickly shot to cult-favourite status among the 'it-girl' set around the world.  Initially shooting to fame due to their ultra-flattering salvage denim cut-off styles, One Teaspoon has gradually been gaining a hardcore set of fans for their fashion line.  This S/S '12 season, they've named their collection Whisky, Mystics & Men; three things that you inevitably think of when you look at anything One Teaspoon, really.  The collection immediately conjures up images of sultry soothsaying gypsies, out for a night on the town.  All the signature One Teaspoon elements are there: the silk kimonos, the hotpants, the relaxed fit and semi-transparent materials.  If there's one thing you can always count on with One Teaspoon, it's that their clothes deliver, time and time again, an undeniable feeling that you've just gotten about 100-times cooler each time that you put an item of their clothing on.  And who doesn't want that?

cap it off

Let's kick off 2012 by looking at something we're excited (and, to be honest, slightly scared) about for the new year.  Each year, a certain style of hat becomes popular.  Alexander Wang popularised the grunge-y beanie for his runway debut back in 2008, then the fedora became the next-big-thing, then Maison Michel's monogrammed wide-brimmed hats dominated much of the latter-half of 2011.  Well, for 2012, it seems that baseball caps are making a comeback.  Yep, you heard it: baseball caps.  They've been popping up all over Tumblr and have made appearances on the runways and in the various editions of Vogue around the world.  The key to making the baseball cap work for you is to keep your whole look as sleek and athletic-inspired as possible, otherwise it looks forced and, well, quite honestly, random.  So here's your cue to dig deep into that wardrobe of yours and rummage around for that baseball cap you were forced to wear back in primary school on an outing to the zoo.  The more vintage it looks, the better!
