A shot of someone, shooting someone, shooting someone else

Life of a designer is sometimes severely imbalanced.  Currently I'm in the process of designing our second collection, and whilst normally these times call for a period of isolation, it seldom happens that way.  Like this time, the brilliantly talented folks from Marc.Two Visuals came up to me with an idea to shoot a fashion short film, well who says no to that?

So amidst being in isolation mode, this is absolutely worth taking a day out of my personal cave to participate in.  I just wanted to personally, and on behalf of Berayah (whatever this means) thank the friends of Marc Two, Susanna, Jean-Baptiste and Polina for making this happen.

Love the fact that creative people can get together and drum up something beautiful, and I cannot wait to see the end result of this film.  Will keep all of you posted!

As if life forces us to stop when we face intersections. Take a deep breath, enjoy the passing of time, take stock of the beautiful things in life. You need this.

I first came across the work of Miriam Böhm from attending Art Basel several months ago.  What struck first was the beautiful geometric composition, how clean shapes and lines compose each rectangular frame.  Then I paid attention to the juxtaposition between 2D and 3D objects, one intertwining and overlaying upon another, creating an immense depth to each piece.  The most interesting part is the engagement of the mind, how one is invited to peel off layer by layer, almost figuring out the artist's construction in reverse.

Love how at any moment you're deciphering whether something is or was 3-Dimensional at what point, and how something in 2-Dimension can have more depth than it's length and width.

Admire, inspire, transpire.

It's official.  The little red cups of Starbucks are triumphantly announcing the beginning of Winter.  The weather in Hong Kong isn't even cold, but I'm already ready to stay warm.  With my first Toffeenut Latte of the season, here's to a wonderful Christmas season.  May all of your coffee shop inspirations find ground, and may all your lattes be merry.

Hello!  

In the fashion world, there are times when you are working frantically tirelessly endlessly, and then there are times when the waves of the seas are a little calmer.  Thankfully this is one of those times.  However it doesn't mean we're resting on our laurels, it only means there's time to work on side projects! 

In our case, here's a sneak preview of a little something we're working on...

Work hard, rest well, dream big.
