I'm getting longer bouts of homesickness for Hong Kong to the point where one of my favourite things to do is to sit in a dingy cafe in Chinatown chewing on a pineapple bun and slurps on a cold milk tea watching cheesy Canto-pop videos on the TV even though it literally hurts the ears. I therefore sniffed a little as a package with those recognisable HK stamps came in for me. I love international packages in general becasuse they generally need more stamps. This one had seven. I stopped my pathetic sniffling when I saw the package was from Daydream Nation, one of the few Hong Kong labels that have made it over to European shores and have had success doing so, staging some of my most memorable shows during London Fashion Week. How can you not smile when you have a heart shaped doilly , cute boxes and an A5 lookbook that looks like an old mailer.
Inside all of this wonderful encasement though, lay two pieces of jewellery which led to two ensembles in a reverse order. The jewellery are usually things that go on last over an outfit, guided by the outfit and its style and colours. With this knitted gold chain necklace.. .
(H&M black lace top, Pepe Patrizia lilac knitted top, PVC skirt from eBay, Tabio purple tights, Celeste Stein socks, vintage black patent sandals)
...and shirt collar wristlet, I let the jewellery inform the outfit...
(Gap x Thakoon dress, Ksubi polka dot t-shirt, Forever 21 cuff and collar set, H&M floral tattoo tights, Zara boots)
I do promise that I will make it back to Hong Kong though early next year to cure myself of this bun-eating, tea-drinking slump.
