New in Town

Fresh is known to be the luxury of beauty brands, being part of the LVMH group. Knowing Asia is totally up and coming, they have recently established their flagship location on the Canton Road, designed to include an interactive story wall, which visually displays their products and their brand’s history. Drop by and find out more about the story behind Fresh!

I am not given much clue either about the long awaited Shanghai Tang flagship store. But do go ahead and like their Facebook fan page, since there are promises of amazing gifts and goodies!

Learn to Shoot

Whether you are a fashion student, an aspiring blogger, or just really really love fashion, knowing how to photograph fashion really helps, since they all say a picture is worth a thousand words. André Wolff and Patricio Sarmiento, who knew each other from their time at the Parsons School of Design, will be jointly launching a Paris fashion workshop this summer, with the first of its series focusing on Fashion Photography in Paris. André's extensive experience as a fashion photographer and Patricio's as a fashion designer will shape the course with tons of hands-on experience in the world's most exclusive fashion capital. They have included a dab of everything, from the history and evolution of the fashion industry, to real life shooting sessions and post-shoot touch-ups, to the know-how on marketing yourself as a fashion photographer. This course is great for someone who likes to travel with a purpose, so email them for further information!
