Viktor&Rolf is a Dutch fashion artists duo, showing their works for the first time in Australia. The avant-garde duo surely has a different perspective towards what we commonly call fashion. Their approach of 'wearable art' impacts their whole process of making their pieces up to the final design. </div>

The picture that you see above is a collection they presented in Spring Summer 2016 based on a polo shirt and elements of Cubist facial feature. The work intrigued me so much because of the simplicity and intricacy of it. It is stunning how you can present boldness in a measured movement and placement of garment. The collection itself was called The Performance of Sculptures.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Another collection that brought my attention was the Zen Garden. A high concept of a raked Japanese sand garden, where the pieces are made based on what the model will be on stage: an arrangement of rocks. It is interesting how Viktor&Rolf actually begin their design process by thinking about how they will present it at the show, creating this whole new approach and holistic presentation.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This collection from 1999 is definitely a unique one especially in terms of its presentation. A model was standing on a turntable to be fitted with layers of clothing that build up over the show until its stunning final overcoat is worn.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wYpmmpVhX30/WCmep3oDgYI/AAAAAAAAGtQ/tYO-r9nvej8znWKL_2y0EqRBbMB_FEc6QCLcB/s1600/NGV_10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wYpmmpVhX30/WCmep3oDgYI/AAAAAAAAGtQ/tYO-r9nvej8znWKL_2y0EqRBbMB_FEc6QCLcB/s640/NGV_10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And of course, a favourite section of any special exhibitions for me would be the kids section. NGV somehow always does this amazingly. At this Viktor&Rolf's kids section, children were allowed to explore their inner experimentalist. They were equipped with basic paper and tools to create collars based on their imagination. One thing I also noticed from Viktor&Rolf was how they set boundaries for themselves. For example, only using one colour in their collection and allowing themselves to think beyond the boundaries. Sometimes limitation does help to expand our way of thinking, isn't that true?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08249121896275698055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745398049777726564.post-59252419061203817152016-11-01T22:36:00.003+11:002016-11-01T22:36:27.709+11:00Where Do You Stand<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Driving to Canberra from Melbourne at 3AM in the morning and I got a feeling that we're going to love our accommodation. Truly were. We dozed off until midnight and missed our dinner. End up having bar food at the Monster, which perhaps was one of the best bar foods ever existed. </div>

More about the hotel now. I always thought when I saw their pictures on the website that they were all renders, until I took photos of the room myself. The details on the wall, softness of the linen and reflection of the lighting are all real. There are just so many little details going on in the room itself that made people wandered around in the room to pay attention to what details are in the surface they touched. Warm, welcoming, complex, easy. </div>

Hotel Hotel managed to uplift the boring repetition that we found most commonly at hotels and other accommodation models. Without losing the efficiency and impact of repetition, the interior was made so each corner still have their own persona. There are a lot of details going on, still aligning with the big picture of the hotel yet sometimes a bit naughty and daring to go off the core. Feels like you're talking to an old weathered man, full of experience, character and subtle excitement. Handsome.</div>

Unfortunately, no, I haven't been inspired much lately. Not to blame anything, anywhere or anyhow, it just seems to be one of those days when you feel like mundaneness is filling up the air around you. Last weekend though, the family went to an under-planned trip to Launceston, Tasmania. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It has become one of my favourite cities since last weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The town, I must say, moved me quite a lot. It's such a small town, with wide extensions towards the wineries in Tamar Valley and through the mountains of Cataract Gorge. The city centre itself dwells in the heart of the town with family-run shops are still flourishing throughout the shopping strip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rIE_jYCH96w/Vt65qCwUtII/AAAAAAAAGnI/GvwCAUbkogA/s1600/2016-03-06%2B09.28.36%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="474" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rIE_jYCH96w/Vt65qCwUtII/AAAAAAAAGnI/GvwCAUbkogA/s640/2016-03-06%2B09.28.36%2B1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

We did spend a lot of our times in Launceston, eating. Which was the best itinerary ever to do in Launceston. Let me tell you, the beef, the wine, the fruits and veggies and the dairies are to die for. They are as good as a commodity can get. We had dinner at Black Cow, the rather humble fine restaurant in the city centre, seating about 20 tables at max. They served beef from across Tasmania, representing each areas with the appropriate cut and the most appropriate way of cooking it. Steaks were seared really well and served with the finest potato gratin on the side. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A big sister of Black Cow, Stillwater is no less impressive. Situated at an old mill, the cafe serves the most honest food. I must say, it is comparably unpretentious compared to the heavily branded cafes flourishing in Melbourne. Over-branding makes things dull and it overcomes the true meaning of what you are serving. At Stillwater, families are having a casual breakfast, seats are mix and matched, no fancy menus, just what it is. </div>

This afternoon, as I was stuck in Sydney Airport waiting for my delayed flight for Melbourne, I sat down with my book at the most reliable coffee shop I could find in the domestic airport. A little girl with her baby tiger doll named Tiny came sitting next to my stool and I said hello.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Oh hello, what's your name?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Jemima," she said. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"I'm Nadia, how are you?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Good. I'm going to my grandma's house in Gold Coast. But the plane takes so long. My grandma has a swimming pool in her house."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Oh really? Is it deep? Are you brave enough to swim in it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She answered confidently yet politely, "See. I'm already 5, I can swim." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh man where has our bravery gone to. </div>

It was the first night of the Chinese national holiday and we have just arrived in Xi'an. Immediately after arriving to our hotel, we set ourselves to go to one of the main tourists attraction in Xi'an. It's the Moslem Quarter, where all the street foods are. People say it's touristy, but man, the food was damn good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Xi'an itself was one of the oldest cities in China, carrying tons of history behind it. It was once called Chang'an, marked as the beginning of the ancient Silk Road.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was cold that night, so we decided to fill our bellies with some hot stuff. </div>

The lamb kebab was definitely one of the best sellers around here. Watch out as competition was quite fierce. You would find that there were rows of stalls selling the same food side by side. Careful too when paying. If you're confident enough, you can get a bargain for the food here. Be ready to pull a straight face and don't bulge!</div>

The Chinese hamburger was something to not miss. We had tried the Aussie version, but no... The Xi'an's version was just way too good. Pan fried bun filled with lamb stew, which made the bread rather soggy but yummy. Was - really - good.</div>

Another one that was our favourite was Liang Pi (top picture). It's basically a small serve of cold noodle with julienned cucumber, with sauce that we assumed was a combination of sesame, chilli oil and vinegar. The best Chinese cold noodle we have ever had. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other favourite was the bread soaked in mutton soup + potato noodle. It was really hearty and tasty. Carbs and meat. Hm.</div>
