This post celebrates the amazing designers and brands that brought sparkle to “A Night at the Musicals” (with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong) last June 12th.

My friend & stylist @styledbybhisan let his creativity run wild, and I’m so glad he knows me so well.

We chose some of our favourite brands— and we love them not just for their stunning pieces, but because the people behind them are amazingly supportive and wonderful to work with.

So here’s my list of “Thank Yous.” The works of the designers are listed in the comments.

—-

@debeersofficial . Your jewellery has accompanied me through some very memorable moments in the past three years. You’ve been a talisman to me ❤️

@jimmychoo . When I have events that require me to look glam AND stand for long periods of time, I trust your shoes... For this concert, you helped me stand confidently for six hours— from dress run to curtain call!

@victorchanstudio . I was at your studio too many times this season— thanks for putting up with my antics. And thank you for making that flowing black cape for this “Phantom.” I cannot tell you how much I keep coming back to your beautiful black dress (among your other gorgeous work!)

@vivianlukatelier . I’m so glad you’ve returned to your craft. Your aesthetic is too elegant to be missed. I’m grateful we’ve become friends, and I can’t wait for our collabs on empowering young girls.

@susannasooatelier . Your style is unmistakeable. Thank you for taking the time to really share your ideas. The end result— the stunning blue dress— is a dream. I couldn’t think of a slinkier dress (and cape) for Act 2, and the fact that we got that done over lunch was really fun.

@stjohnknits . I’m so glad I got to know you this year. Even more than your elegant and glittering knits, I appreciate your support and friendship.

@gloomykwokmua . Thanks for running after me backstage with the highlighter even while my mind was on other things, lol. Sincerely, thank you.

Bhisan. Need I say more? It’s amazing collaborating with you, but it’s even better that we believe in similar things, and work towards those goals. On to the next project 😉

-----------------------------------------



Everything James Lavelle has created and initiated has been driven by the same irrepressible sense of curiosity and an incorruptible willingness to take risks. The music released today under the banner of UNKLE is very different from early UNKLE records. The spirit is the same.

2014 was a landmark year for independent music svengali James Lavelle. Coinciding with his 40th birthday he launched Mo’ Wax21: Urban Archaeology - a mind blowing Kickstarter resourced exhibition and a lavish Rizzoli published book to celebrate the 21st birthday of Mo’ Wax records, the label he launched as a teenager. He was also the curator for Meltdown on London’ s South Bank. Joining a long list musical luminaries such as Yoko Ono, Ornette Coleman, Massive Attack, Nick Cave, John Peel, Lee ‘ Scratch’ Perry, Patti Smith, amongst others, is according to James, “one of the proudest moments of my life in music so far.”

Since the early Nineties James Lavelle has been on a global roller coaster ride. It’ s taken him from being an obsessive 18 year old indie record label boss to the heart of corporate record company darkness and back to the light with an array of dynamic visual adventures based around the collective musical experience of his UNKLE project. A child of the sampling generation, he has honed his curatorial skills while riding the tidal wave of information technology. The Nineties were hectic - an endless cycle of clubbing and unfettered creativity and his Mo’ Wax label was bold, irreverent and “Kicking More Phunk Than A Shaolin Monk”. He released a flood of hip, deftly packaged 12”singles and ventured far and wide in search of like-minded souls. He forged links with Japan’ s hip hop originals Major Force and DJ Krush but it was in Oakland California that he found the future - Josh Davis aka DJ Shadow.

In ‘ 96 Rolling Stone magazine declared Mo’ Wax as the true source of ‘ Trip Hop’ - a decision underpinned by the aural impact of DJ Shadow’ s ‘ In/Flux’ 12” single – but In reality, it was the ‘ Headz’ compilation, released in ‘ 94, complete with cover art by Massive Attack’ s 3D that took ‘ trip hop’ worldwide. What followed was DJ Shadow’ s skillfully crafted ‘ Endtroducing’ LP – a homage to his trusty Akai MPC60 and a seminal slab of vinyl that has since notch up sales in excess of a million. A label deal with A&M appeared to give James the freedom to pursue the Mo’ Wax grail and UNKLE was chosen to deliver the vision. DJ Shadow took on the producer role of ‘ Psyence Fiction’ . Meanwhile James commissioned Futura2000 to provide the artwork and succeeded in enlisting Radiohead’ s Thom Yorke and ex-Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft to the project. It was a radical venture that predictably met with the glint of sharpened critical knives. A combination of youth and boundary breaking ambition has never endeared James Lavelle to the critics. Ironically, the deal-breaker when signing to A&M records was a Jean-Michel Basquiat drawing that declared “Cowards with get rid of you, the sky is the limit”. It proved an apt warning. At the dawn of the new millennium A&M imploded andtook Mo’ Wax with it. Financial uncertainty ensued. He sold the Basquiat, reverted to his DJ career and pressed on with UNKLE.

James Lavelle loves DJing. It’ s back to basics. He describes his five year long residency at Fabric as “insane” and is happy to point out that he’ s had residencies in all of the Top 10 clubs in the world including Zouk and Womb.

Obsessed with the collision of music, fashion and art James forged links with Nigo at A Bathing Ape and launched Mo' Wax Arts to translate Futura 2000’ s concepts and images into merchandise, toys and fashion. He was mates with iconoclastic London fashion genius Lee Alexander McQueen and continues to work with McQueen collaborators Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones. Daydreaming with.... James Lavelle was launched at London’ s Museum Of Mankind and has produced collaborations with celebrated artists like Jonathan Glazer, 3D, Jonas Burget, Doug Foster and Turner Prize nominee Nathan Coley.

In 2005, he set up Surrender - a clothing line and boutique record label dedicated to all things UNKLE. Over a five period they produced three UNKLE albums - ‘ War Stories’ , ‘ End Titles- Stories For Films’ , ‘ Where Did Night Fall’ and around 150 tracks. UNKLE's progression in the studio from a classic hip hop aesthetic to breakbeats-meet-house to electronica to rock has also been instrumental in UNKLE manifesting as a live band that’ s successfully toured the world.

The UNKLE crew has been populated by a bunch of serious players who have made a massive impact on the UK music scene and beyond. Tim Goldsworthy set up DFA records, Nick Huggett signed Adele, M.I.A and Dizzee Rascal, Damian Taylor is Bjork’ s right hand person, Cameron Craig is a Grammy winning engineer and Jim Abiss and Paul Epworth are both producers at the top the game – think: Adele, Kasabian, Plan B, Florence & The Machine. Another UNKLE veteran Toby Feltwell went on to run Bathing Ape and Billionaire Boys Club with Nigo and Pharrell.

Here in lies the journey of a hip hop, subway art, Massive Attack obsessed kid from Oxford. It’ s been a wild and mind expanding journey. His focus is always on the future. Watch this space.

Beauty is everywhere. Spread the Love gorgeous ♥ ∞

Dear Ones -

Can we talk about something?

For the last few months, I've been growing uneasy about a phenomenon I've seen playing out in the media over women's bodies and women's appearance.

And no, this is not about the USUAL thing that makes me uneasy in the media (the exploitation and hyper-sexualization of women's bodies, etc. etc...) That hasn't changed, and I'm not tackling that today.

This is about something new.

This is about prominent women publicly criticizing other prominent women about body image questions, and about each other's private beauty decisions.

I don't want to see this anymore.

The history of women's bodies and women's beauty is a battlefield of epic (and sometimes violent) proportions. The last thing any of us need to be doing is judging each other and turning on each other.

What really frustrates me is the patronizing tone that is sometimes adopted, when a woman who has made a certain set of decisions about her own face and her own body criticizes another woman who has made an entirely different set of decisions about HER own face and HER own body.

You know the tone. It goes like this: "I just think it's so sad that she felt she needed to do that..."

This is a tone of voice that fills me with ire, because: REALLY? Does it make you feel "sad"? Are sure you're using the word "sad" correctly? Does your neighbor's boob job really make you feel "sad"? Does that movie star's plastic surgery genuinely make you feel "sad"? Are you honestly crying into your pillow at night about somebody's Brazilian butt lift — the way you would cry about a death in the family? Honestly?

Or are you just judging a sister, and hiding your judgment behind a screen of moral appropriation?

Check yourself.

No decision that any of us make about our appearance makes us morally better or morally worse than any other woman.

The scale of beauty in our world is vast and complicated and often politically, socially, and culturally confounding. At one extreme, you have the "all-natural" obsessives, who judge anybody who artificially alters her appearance in any manner whatsoever as vain and shallow. At the other of the scale are the extreme beauty junkies, who will do anything for an enhanced sense of beauty, and who judge everyone else as slovenly and drab.

We all have to figure out where we land on that scale. Lipstick, but no hair dye? Legs shaved, but not arms? Hair processing, but no Brazilian wax? Short skirts but no bikini tops? Two-inch heels, but not five-inch heels?

It all sends a message, and it all comes with complications. None of it is easy to figure out. And this is not even taking into account larger questions about religion, history, and cultural ethics. What looks like modesty on a woman in Rio de Janeiro looks like flagrancy in Salt Lake City. What looks like modesty in Salt Lake City is flagrancy in Cairo. What looks like modesty in Cairo is flagrancy in Riyadh. What looks like flagrancy to your grandmother looks like frumpiness to your teenager. What looks beautiful to me might look grotesque or even offensive to you.

IT'S COMPLICATED.

My experience is this: once we have decided where we land on that scale of beauty, we tend to judge all the other women who have made different decisions in either direction around us: This woman is too vain; that one is too plain...it never ends.

It also bothers me that women who define themselves as liberal, left-wing feminists (like myself) will stand on a picket line to defend the right of another woman to do whatever she wants with her reproductive system — but then attack that woman for what she decided to do to her face.

Let me break it down for you: It's none of your business.

Every single molecule of woman's body belongs to HER.

Yes, even her lips.

Yes, even her butt.

To judge a fellow woman for her choices about her own appearance is not only cruel, it also speaks to a fundamental insecurity that says, "I am so uncomfortable with myself that I have now become deeply uncomfortable with YOU, lady — and I don't even know you."

So have some compassion for the fact that it is difficult for any woman to figure out where to place herself on that vast and emotionally-loaded scale of female aesthetic. And check your own vanity before you criticize someone else's vanity. (And do not kid yourself that you are not vain because you do not partake in certain beauty rituals that other women partake in — because you are also making decisions about your body, your face, and your clothing every single day. With every one of those decisions you are also telegraphing to the world your own politics, your own opinions, your own needs and fears, and yes, often your own arrogance.)

No matter what you're wearing, you are dressing up, too.

As the great drag queen RuPaul has said: "We are all born naked. Everything else is just drag."

So be sympathetic. Everyone is facing her own battlefield in her own manner. And the only way you can express empathy about another woman's vanity IS TO BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR OWN.

Once you have reached that place of authentic honesty about your own struggle, you will only ever show kindness toward your sisters.

So here's what I do.

When I see a woman who has lost weight, I say, "You look terrific."

When I see a woman who has quit dieting and embraced her curves, I say, "You look terrific."

When I see a woman who has obviously just had plastic surgery, I say, "You look terrific."

When I see a woman who has let her hair go grey and is hanging out at grocery store in her husband's sweatpants, I say, "You look terrific."

Because you know what? If you are woman and you managed to get up today and go outside, then you look terrific.

If you are still here, then you look terrific.

If you are able to go face down a world that has been arguing about your body and your face for centuries, then you look terrific.

If you have figured out what you need to wear, or do, or not do, in order to feel safe in your own skin, then you look terrific.

If you are standing on your own two feet and the stress of being a woman hasn't killed you yet, then YOU LOOK TERRIFIC.

To say anything less than that to (or about) your fellow woman is to add ammunition to a war that is bad enough already.

So back off, everyone. Be kind.

You're all stunning.

ONWARD,
LG

School has really been very intense and I'm out with new friends on the weekends so I'm not sure if they're comfortable with me vlogging so I haven't actually vlogged in weeks (this was 3 weeks ago) but I'M GONNA! Leave me comments on what you want me to check out or try!
