<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aesthetic wise, it is pleasing. However, after this experiment, I had to change the material as I found out, MDF does not react well with water, it softens the surface. Therefore, the material for the wedge needs to change...</span></div>

This is what I've been up to during the last few months (reason for the lack of updates).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gathering resources:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is where ideas starts to accumulate for the new collection. However, though you can get inspiration from all kinds of subjects, it becomes challenging to merge and filter information for it to make sense with the theme.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inspiration filtered down (condensed version):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Works of Ursus Werhli (the composition of chips), Richard Long (stones) and Julian Opie (coloured blocks) - </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRv0Z1UZe54o8ACIk4h8bGT9cQY38KO2rJkPLosjmkYTu08W4S58GF8916AQK3rNgSFVth8yoyjzNgmh9nqvY5tEV1SYkMmjCaqvNrusdyOtrOfJA4-ZhPe8aOlVB7jhNJQ3tudgbsrTjL/s1600/ursus-long-opie-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRv0Z1UZe54o8ACIk4h8bGT9cQY38KO2rJkPLosjmkYTu08W4S58GF8916AQK3rNgSFVth8yoyjzNgmh9nqvY5tEV1SYkMmjCaqvNrusdyOtrOfJA4-ZhPe8aOlVB7jhNJQ3tudgbsrTjL/s400/ursus-long-opie-.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Werhli's works is the starting point of the inspiration - conceptually. It demonstrates the notion of disassembling and re-assembling an original composition of artworks and ordinary objects. Each outcome is different from the original composition. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Getting some form of construction by investigating vintage orthopaedic footwear (source: London College of Fashion Archive Collection (which stores amazing archives of vintage footwear, pattern pieces, garments, photographs and other trimmings)- </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHAZ0SbcUys519BV9vkEOd0a9yiUbmQya7GH9vcS-RCf032xn1cTo0TxYLlSsX-_a227uTdbzPAu6XPTcWND_wJxggGFCsxLbpeJm6qQIOm4FwhyOKzKS5-nwxR57VNxcqFS8VWnsVDGU/s1600/ortho-shoes-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHAZ0SbcUys519BV9vkEOd0a9yiUbmQya7GH9vcS-RCf032xn1cTo0TxYLlSsX-_a227uTdbzPAu6XPTcWND_wJxggGFCsxLbpeJm6qQIOm4FwhyOKzKS5-nwxR57VNxcqFS8VWnsVDGU/s400/ortho-shoes-.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Digging deeper, I had a conversation with a podiatrist in Singapore (there are misconceptions where one would think orthopaedic and podiatry are the same thing, take note, they are not the same thing (I'll get deeper into the difference next time). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The output so far? This inspiration board shown below:</span><br />

Ballet Pumps for Drapers<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of the times where I would confess...I am stuck...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Literately, I am stuck with my design. I have come up with a form. The criteria of this project is to come up with some ballet pump designs; something exciting, yet easy to manufacture and marketable...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So far, this is what I have as the final form (with a quick (and rather crude) sketch).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's all shown in this short documentary released by <strong>R+I Creative</strong>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have to thank my friend from my course, Nadia who shared the trailer and the film for 'Influencers'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The series of films (so far, only one has been released) by Davis Johnson and Paul Rojanathara covers how influences from music, fashion, products...etc...becomes part of our everyday lives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is stuck in my mind from the film (which is an excerpt from Malcolm Gladwell's bestselling book, 'The Tipping Point'): 'The tipping point is a biography of an idea, and the idea is very simple. Ideas and products and messages and behaviours spread just like viruses do...' </span><br />

Whew!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last one week in Singapore has been really fast that I'm losing track of time....or even...my way...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically, I never thought I would say 'Gee, where the heck am I....?'... Yes, at times, I get lost in Singapore.... So many changes in Singapore in one year that it is so hard to keep up. I guess that's the beauty of Singapore! :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, as I was typing an email to a friend of mine, I managed to compile a couple of places to visit in Singapore... Here are some of the places (no images but click on the links for a rough idea or search for the names on the Internet) I would usually recommend visitors to head to (that hopefully will still remain there until my next visit!):</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Nee Ann City for the bookstore called 'Kinokuniya' on the 3rd floor and the Japanese departmental store, Takashimaya.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;">- Cineleisure for the store on the 3rd floor called 'Editor's Market'. The concept of buying the items is the more items you buy, the cheaper the items will be. (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/theeditorsmarket" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/theeditorsmarket</a> )</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><br />
- Mandarin Gallery for a range of designer wear (there are mainly international designers in this mall though there are some Singaporean and other brands as well such as 'Hansel', 'Ashley Isham', 'JBNY', 'EggThree'...<br />
<br />
Another area I love to go to visit to photograph the building is the theatre called the 'Esplanade' (<a href="http://www.esplanade.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.esplanade.com/</a>). During some evenings, there are free musical performances outside the theatre along the bay. Nearest train station is 'City Hall MRT' or 'Esplanade MRT'<br />
<br />
There is a new building (which I haven't been to) called Marina Bay Sands (MBS (Bayfront MRT). The main attraction for $20 (Singapore Dollars) is the 'sky garden' (roof top garden). Just a warning from some of my friends who has been there, DO NOT go there in the early afternoon (like between 1pm-5pm) as the it is really hot up there (the sun!).<a href="http://www.marinabaysands.com/SandsSkypark/Sands_Sky_Park.aspx" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.marinabaysands.com/SandsSkypark/Sands_Sky_Park.aspx</a><br />
<br />
Sometimes, I love to drop by:<br />
<br />
'Chinatown' (Chinatown MRT)<br />
It's nothing like Paolo Sarpi in Milan. It's completely different. definitely the place to check out.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.singaporeaninlondon.com/2009/04/singapore-chinatown-experience.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.singaporeaninlondon.com/2009/04/singapore-chinatown-experience.html</a><br />
<br />
The street that's the easiest to walk is 'Pagoda Street' which links to the end of the main road called 'South Bridge Road'<br />
<br />
Check out some of the shops along 'Ann Siang Hill'. There is one store to visit called 'Front Row' and 'EggThree' along Eskine Road<br />
<br />
Also, check out this temple exterior called 'Sri Mariamman Temple' at the end of Chinatown (along South Bridge Road):<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Mariamman_Temple,_Singapore" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Mariamman_Temple,_Singapore</a><br />
<br />
Near that area is an eating area called 'Maxwell Food Centre' where they serve up a lot of Singaporean cuisine.<br />
<br />
'Arab Street' (Bugis MRT (5-10 minute walk, check the map for directions before heading there)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.singaporeaninlondon.com/2009/04/singapore-arab-street-kampong-glam.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.singaporeaninlondon.com/2009/04/singapore-arab-street-kampong-glam.html</a><br />
<br />
Go to 'Bussorah Street' as well as there are lots of things to see near the Mosque. Great place to relax. Also there is a hostel you can consider along that street called 'Sleepy Sam's' (<a href="http://www.sleepysams.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.sleepysams.com/</a>)<br />
<br />
Also, try to go along 'Haji Lane' which is very near Arab Street to see individual shops). (<a href="http://www.cnngo.com/singapore/visit/haji-lane-our-best-loved-shops-889607" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.cnngo.com/singapore/visit/haji-lane-our-best-loved-shops-889607</a>)<br />
<br />
Oh yes, read this article as well as it is some of the things to expect when you are in Singapore. :)<a href="http://www.singaporeaninlondon.com/2010/02/what-to-do-in-singapore-holiday.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.singaporeaninlondon.com/2010/02/what-to-do-in-singapore-holiday.html</a><br />
<br />
There are a lot of places to visit in Singapore but I can only remember a few places. If I remember any more places, I will let you know...</span></span>Lisa Tenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16778001947493122367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934322088738705125.post-1529824564647786182010-12-15T02:16:00.000+00:002010-12-15T02:16:20.620+00:00A little too late but still newsworthy: Steel Heel - Chau Har Lee<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5k7tMkKKqrHim-4dehWM2m_WNxFyRkbA4nnmupO3ZbqZzQIDD9SK5bR38wfiI59qaw0iLUQhvqgbk5SsErhbKOYyiyumXbWqZg1uT4Rvv_0FmhVB-ctDSAqf3j6faJ8mlxrf5HS3ZrOmi/s1600/CHL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5k7tMkKKqrHim-4dehWM2m_WNxFyRkbA4nnmupO3ZbqZzQIDD9SK5bR38wfiI59qaw0iLUQhvqgbk5SsErhbKOYyiyumXbWqZg1uT4Rvv_0FmhVB-ctDSAqf3j6faJ8mlxrf5HS3ZrOmi/s320/CHL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I know this is late in terms of footwear news but been lacking proper internet connection the last few weeks hence the lack of updates. Also had million of things to tackle which include my school project (which hopefully I'll post someday...).</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Anyway, a few months ago, at Selfridges and in the Evening Standard I saw this shoe (to be custom-made according to the customer's foot size) by <b>Chau Har Lee </b>(RCA graduate with an impressive CV and achievements!), and in a structural and construction sense, it was interesting.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I've overheard from students in my school that the designer herself must have taken around eight to ten years to develop the heels. I guess it could be one of the elements we do take for granted when designing a shoe...and should take in consideration...</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I've seen the shoe and I must say, it looks great on the stand. I've touched the shoe as well but unfortunately, since it is only custom made, I couldn't try them on. Does it look stable enough to support the whole body? I keep visualising myself falling down on such thin heels (where the thickness of the heel is only around 5mm!). Does it look good in real life? </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">View the picture on Stylebubble (<a href="http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2010/09/chau-it-down.html">http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2010/09/chau-it-down.html</a>)</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Though there are photos on Stylebubble, I prefer to show the official photographs from the website.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Don't get me wrong, I like the shoe (reason why I keep refering it as 'shoe' is because, only one side is displayed in Selfridges) design and I think it might be worth <b>£1550 </b>(as I recall from looking at the price tag)...it's just that I don't see myself paying that much...<b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've thought of queuing up to buy some items from the collection...probably one of the best looking garments since Victor and Rolf (and yes, Karl Lagerfeld!). However, I have something to do that morning...and I will have to give it a miss since everyone knows how quickly these pieces will snap up!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like this video as it shows different ages and body types, in a way that everyone can enjoy the collection. </span><br />
