WHAT-THE-DUCK

Please don't ask me WHY the tittle, but that is immaterial because this is such a meaningful project.

Lush Icon is proud to be part of the "What The Duck Campaign" organized by Creativeunitedmovement.com

What is it about?
Donate your used/unwanted make-up (just dump it into the designated big bin @ our store) and the talented artists will use these make-up to unleash their creative fluids.

Come 6th August 2009 you can see the art doing LIVE @ Palete Palette!

So Yes DONATE now!!

See ya!

There will be an empty space in here.

Whilst traveling back home from my business trip I've got a sad news that wrecked my heart.
The much loved and respected multi-talented Yasmin Ahmad has left us. She is the most recognizable creative talent in Malaysia, wearing many hats as a creative head at one of the big 4As agency, film maker and most importantly, she is someone who cares about the unity of the country.

There is no reason for me to write about who Yasmin Ahmad is here, because just like Michael Jackson (I'm not saying she IS Michael Jackson), you could find so many tributes, write-up, stories and achievement history about her.

As an amateur ad fanatic, I've always want to work my way towards the agency she was heading at the time and hoping that one day, our path will cross and I could learn from her.
And now I'm sorry that I would never have the chance of meeting her, working with her and learn the love she offers.
Because you see, there are just so few people who really care, especially in advertising. And she create ads and films that are so real and so full of love. People questioned her intention, but for me it is just labor of love.

She has this heart, the heart that creates things and films that mean so much. It is not a talent nor a practice that perfected overtime that won her so many awards in different industries, it was definitely the heart that did just that.

Thank you for the wonderful memory, the lesson and the love for all Malaysians.

As my friend Vincent says "You are not dead, you are just not here."

Been Away...

Yes it has been more than a week since the last post! But I shall be back in action shortly!
Let catch a breath and start telling you the story!

.Lets Oversized.

Everyone knows that I'm a slave to big bags, even fashion guru Ms. Carrie Rotfield forbidden that idea, I could not seem to stay away from sizable bags. They work so well for me and small dinner clutches always frustrated me. And therefore I'm most delighted when the trends bring back sizable-useful-clutches.

And now it is time to train more muscles and lessen shoulder ache by bringing a day clutch instead of a big shoulder bag.

But after some checking, I realized the so-called oversized by most brands are between 8inches to 12inces. That is just not oversized for me. I need a good 14inches and above to work it all out. And so the choices are less in this case.

I think Jane from Sea of Shoes has the most amazing poise when it comes to using oversized clutch, and I would die for the MMM clutch of hers (or her mum's).

Balenciaga, Iman and Marc Jacobs do have some cool oversized clutches. So is Ms. Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. as she is a fan of oversized bags too.
But for a day-in-day-out workaholic oversized clutch I have my eye on the affodable Kate Spade Austin Paolo.


I like the huge one on Kate.


Jane working the oversized python MMM clutch.


Another one. In bright yellow.




Iman makes cool clutches too.



The ultimate companion.




Marc Jacobs Airplane. Looks pretty hardworking.

The Master

If you have yet to hear about the name Tom Binns, then you are missing a great deal of his out-of-the-world jewelry creation.

For over two decades Tom Binns the master has many times and again charm the fashion world with his collections.
Mrs. Obama is his latest fan, and we've seen on the big night how charming she looked with those Tom Binns' pearl on her necklace and complete her look.

Personal favorite? Cuffs Cuffs and more Cuffs.

My name is: KEYBAG

True to its name, Jose Sabino created KEYBAG.
Formed by 393 keys from computer keyboards. There is the intention to generate a shape from fragments (keys), altering their order without losing the bond to the primitive object. This lack of order allows the singularity of each object, which becomes itself, a communication
vehicle, which can be configured to act as a message, encoded or not.

Cool isn't it? Recycle in style it is indeed.

New Toy

A crazy Y3 fan for all who knows me.
The latest addition to the collection. FAB FAB FAB!
