IN THE LATE AUTUMN OF 2006, I TRAVELED 6 CITIES (HKG>ICN
>HKG>SIN>KUL>HKG>PEK>HKG) IN 7 DAYS FOR MONT BLANC, TO CAPTURE DIVAS REPRESENTING 7 ASIAN CITIES. HERE'S KRISTY CHUNG FOR HONG KONG, CHARLIE YEUNG FOR TAIPEI, LI BING-BING FOR BEIJING, KIM SO-YEON FOR SEOUL, FANN WONG FOR SINGAPORE AND TIARA JACQUELINA FOR KUALA LUMPUR. SPECIAL THANKS TO RITZ CARLTON FOR THEIR CONSISTANT DECOR, WITHOUT IT THIS STORY WOULDN'T CAME TOGETHER.
GARBOS RE-CREATED BY RICK CHIN. WARDROBE CREATION BY KENNETH CHAN.
REALLY OLD WORKS CIRCA 1999-2002. PRE-STUDIO ERA.
WHEN FASHION DIRECTOR RUBIK ASKED ME WHAT TO DO WITH BUNCH OF NICE FUR COATS, THE VISUAL CAME RIGHT ACROSS MY MIND IS CONCRETE OR SAND, WHERE TEXTURE CONTRASTS. THEN MY MIND WONDERED BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WHEN MY MOM BROUGHT ME TO HER BIRTHPLACE MACAU AND SHOWED ME THE AMAZING BLACK SAND BEACH.
WHEN WE ALL UNLOAD OUR EQUIPMENTS & FURS WE REALISED HAC SA (BLACK SAND) BEACH IS NOT HAC AT ALL NOW! IT'S NORMAL SANDS MARBLING WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK. ASKING THE LOCALS THEY SAID "NO MORE BLACK SANDS THESE 10 YEARS...". BUT LUCKILY WE GOT PHOTOSHOP! (HOW SAD).
I AM KINDA LUCKY TO SAY "I NEVER DO TEST SHOTS" BECAUSE IF I WANNA TRY SOMETHING NEW, I CAN ALWAYS FIND A PLACE TO PUBLISH IT. THESE ARE SOME "TEST SHOTS" I DID WITH MAKE UP STAR MR RICK CHIN. YOU CAN SEE MANY KNOWN FACE IN THEIR EARLY TIMES. TRY SPOT THE DIFFERENCE.
IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE I TRY NOT TO ART DIRECTION + WARDROBE STYLING + PHOTO TAKING IN ONE JOB. THIS IS FOR GILLIAN'S COME-BACK SO I WAS TEMPTED. WOULD LOVE TO SAY IT'S "SWORD'S NOT GETTING OLD"
