I would be soon back in Shanghai and return to the active, bustling busy city scene there.

And...the job hunting journey inevitably started.

Talking about a fashion and textile, I am still dreaming about a designer career in fabric design, which always features a great mark of quality and craftsmanship style. Combining all the trick of craftwork, technics, delicate hand drawing and wild imagination, there are just so....o many possibilities being a fabric designer. With various pieces of cloths, sequins, color paillette and newfrangled materials, a mixed bag of source is out there for every conceivable combination.

I don't know how far I could possibly move on in this textile rebound life, not being one of those freshly minted art&design college grads and with almost no solid painting background. So right now the point is how to won acclaim raised my own profile?

http://www.shopbando.com/. Wowwwwww! This is something from fairly-tale,right? Ban-do is a brand that sells corsages, garland and satin bow headbands. What's fantastic is that they have their own blog that they call it a happy place.

It's truly one of the most brilliant accessory on-line boutique I've ever seen. Girls who own their products will feel themselves as Alice in Wonderland. The sheeny-rich florals are all so elegantly presented on hair that nightingales would possibly whin about their amazing grace and beauty.

Herchcovitch is a Brazilian Fashion Miracle. In an interview videoclip, he claimed that he wanted to design clothes for the whole world. http://herchcovitch.uol.com.br/index_en.html

Japan is the second largest market for his brand after Brazil. I love his brand website and the exotic South American music accompanying the visually-stimuating catwalk. The whole website use Adobe Flash to present its content.

The most impressive feature of Herchcovitch's greatest hits is the exotic headdress with many over-decorated sequins and chains. A big name he is, perhaps the only guru I've ever heard about Brazilian fashion. Interestingl, he told us in his interview that his basic education was in a Jewish school, though his life since then was nothing related to religious credo and self-abstinence.

Geekcook is a new-born net-based shop that is fairly offbeat in today's vitual fashion market flooded with taobao-style or direct-sale sales method.

A fun-to-wear collection of clothes, accessories and other little stuffs with conceptually appealing logo is perhaps their sole fashion standpoint that let them nose out.

"忠于德赛：科学、网络、公益" is their spiritual slogan and I lovvvvvve it. It's never overstated that science popularization is a pleasure add-on for many fashion elements. It really should be something that rocks the soho store in China

My initial impression of Munro is his music video for Madonna. Quite impressive, flashy and contentious expression of Madonna's 'Give it to Me'. But digging into his fashion photographs was almost 1 year later.

With only a limited detailing of the garments, I always tend to think that Munro focuses much more on the mannequins themselves. Still there are so much influx into the garment from the models' posture that it seems like the human-cloth complex has envolved into something symbiotic, like a marriage for mutual advantage.

I never realized the importance of fashion photographie. But just like garments, photographie is a kind of post-industrial artisanry that requires much technical execution, of which the flawless quality is somehow never too praised due to the Broken-Arm-Venus effect. Munro's works are the same case. The juxtaposition is always distorted, with writhen shape and curve.

Fashion Photographie is a new area to me. One of the cons of it is that the shots are always too "haut" I feel. Not something that pops into our vivid life. Fashion Photographie is born with less possibility because fashion itself is already something that populates into mainstream. Pity...
