Shop at Zalora

Meet Lauren Fristcher and Roslyn Johnson, newly appointed fashion buyers for Zalora Singapore.

After studying fashion merchandising at the University of Louisiana, Lauren started her fashion career in New York working with Christian Louboutin, Marc Jacobs, Diane Von Fustenberg, Zac Posena and Anna Sui. Later, she worked with Vogue, GQ, Elle and Harper's Bazaar.


Then, there's Roslyn. A former Saks Fith Avenue buyer, Roslyn has worked with international luxury brands from Burberry and Missoni to streetwear mainstays G-Star and Diesel.

With credentials like that, we know that Zalora is going to bring style and class at affordable prices to Singaporeans.

Maintaining class in a sexy outfit is very important.

Having almost anything and everything for both men and women, www.zalora.com.sg stocks international labels like House of Harlow (by Nicole Richie), Desigual, Sass & Bide, Eva Franco, Rare London, Vero Moda, Betsey Johnson, Winter Kate, and Jack & Jones. Prices for the branded labels are competitive while other items can be found as low as below SGD 10.

Lauren and Rosalyn are also working hard in bringing other international labels like American Apparel, Zara and more this year. I hope for Ted Baker!

The job of a fashion buyer sounds glamourous, but is it?

According to Lauren, fashion buyers do travel abit but it's just 3-4 times a year for trade shows. They don't take business class, they don't stay in suites. Its not as glamourous as we think. They work long hours due to liaising with brands from all over the world. Can you IMAGINE the different time zones?!

Why then do Lauren and Roslyn still look so radiant and not like a panda?

Because they are judged by their dress sense so you probably wouldn't catch them in anything not fitting for a fashionista. After all, they have to look the part.

Even though the fashion trend right now is pyjamas on the runway.

If pyjamas is accepted on the red carpet, i'm sure Singaporean's widely critiqued tank tops, shorts and slippers combination is certainly fashionable on Orchard Road! Zalora's fashionistas think it's the climate.

However, the fashionistas advise for our Singapore climate, boys can wear tailored shorts, loafers and buttoned down shirts. Like Ryan Gosling.

Well now, no matter how i google, i can't find Gosling in such getup. I did instead find this...

Maybe that's what summer fashion means to Roslyn!

For girls, Lauren suggests the Nicole Richie look for our climate. Maxi dresses, flow-y, bohemian.

When asked what would the fashion trend be in 2020, Rosalyn believes it'll be a comeback of present fashion. Seeing how fashion recycles itself with bell bottoms (70s), high waisted bottoms and even in recent months, bra-lets.

"So long as the pyjama fashion don't return!" Quips Lauren.

No?

Roslyn certainly hopes loose fitting blouses, silk fabrics and blazers will remain in fashion forever though. These are her favourites and fashion staple.

Fashion staples also know as basics are no longer just tank tops and black dresses. I learn from Roslyn that dressing with age is going classic and timeless like Chanel.

Chanel's Cruise Collection- Swimwear.

Lauren believes that women should dress for women because they simply appreciate fashion better. However she noticed that with the figure hugging mini dresses, Singaporean women dress for men. She feels that men are truly attracted to confidence. The momentary attraction to your Herve Leger knock-off? It won't lust last.

So if you have that confidence? You'll rock that harem pants.

Fortunately, for the confidence-not-200% Singaporeans, there's Zalora.

$132 from Betsy Johnson.

These harem pants still look sexy to boot! Best of all, why Zalora is different from Asos and other sites,

10% discount when you input CHRISFAN upon checkout. It's the GSS sale now on with up to 70% off! Discount code expires 30 June.

Oh yes, and we do judge fashion buyers :P

An Investment in Time

Advertorial

Recently, i asked a fashion buyer for Burberry, G-star and Diesel (more on her story in post coming) what would she wear when she hit her 50s. Granny panties? Definitely a no-no.

Instead, she divulged that as she age, she found herself more drawn to investment pieces. That means silk blouses that hopefully will never go out of trend, or a quality pair of leather shoes.

My investment pieces are watches. I haven't been able to bring myself to buy a $600 dress or heel yet, but for a watch? The most i've paid is $350 for Marc Jacobs.

The latest acquisition is Casio's Sheen range, $196.

With a battery life of 2 years (cue investment piece), this chronograph is water resistant with a genuine leather band. Funny how the clock face is Mother of Pearl with colorful rhinestone hour markers yet is cheaper than Marc Jacobs which has none of these precious gems!

With an investment piece like that, I'm going to age with grace, an accessory elegant and sophisticated that'll last me long.

Louis Vuitton Condoms & other Quirky Fashion

As you may already have heard on the chatter where #LVcondoms was trending, here's what the $68 (am assuming USD) rubber looks like.

Complete with with the iconic "LV" raised lettering on the condom, I am guessing it gives extra "feel" when rubbing within walls. Although i thought the material looked pretty thick.

Before you ask your stewardess friends to help purchase from Paris, you need to know the inventive design is not a product from Louis himself (sorry, no loub included). It is actually by a Georgia Republic architect Irakli Kiziria who designed this "fake" condom with Design Provocation in hopes of donating the proceeds for AIDS research.

And i thought Chanel tattoos were cool.

Last season, temporary tattoos were available from Chanel. I went to the Chanel store in Singapore to enquire and it costs SGD 54 for a set of 12 tattoos.

That's $4.50 per tattoo and a design like this needs at least 3 tattoos to create.

I contemplated and mulled over images like these for 2 weeks.

I tried looking for counterfeits but none came close to the classy designs Chanel offered.

No, i did not buy.

Then, i chanced upon Violent Lips and almost ordered some online.

It was USD $12 for 5 and i hesitated. Soon, they made it to our shores, now selling in Watsons. I lost interest as soon as it becomes "common".

Then i saw this online and got excited.

Found even better ones...

In light of the Louis Vuitton condoms, Marc Jacobs did sell Euro $1.50 condoms with its 2008 collection.

The rubber looks thin and blue like Avartar.

Then there is the Christian Louboutin's SEX shoes. Long and widely touted as the sexiest shoes on Earth, a woman's posture is perfect and she doesn't walk anywhere when with it.

The French designer's shoes are known for their lengthening, tautening, perkifying effects and orgasmic potential.

Long worn on the red carpets by Hollywood celebrities, what is sexual in the Louboutin high heels is the arch with the red sole.

"Because it is exactly the position of a woman's foot when she orgasms. So, putting your foot in a heel, you are putting yourself in a possibly orgasmic situation."

A heel so high that doesn't allow you to walk anywhere? Sex it may look, but it actually makes you a dead fish.

Then there is up and coming designer Lindsay Degen who displayed these designs at the recent catwalk.

No need for imagination at all.

and they say the VPL (visible panty line) is a no-no.

That's Lindsay Degen with her droopy breast necklace.

She is quite a pretty and quirky young lady. I bet she is inspired by the Japanese.

I like quirky fashion. I think the quirkiest items i own are the tattoo stockings which honestly i've only worn twice. First to a birthday party where none of my friends believed i got inked. Another at a shopping mall, i got frowned upon by the Aunties but the bored Uncles who were waiting for their wives outside the dressing room chatted me up and found them cool!

And my panda shorts which i've also only worn twice (its hard to find a matching top!) which my mum honestly feels at my age i really shouldn't.

Because of this panda pants, my brother thought i was into all things panda and got me this as a souvenier.

Sorry Bro, i really don't know where to wear this to.

And for the last time, leggings are NOT pants. But if you really have to, at least wear something totally awesome!

 I'd even start wearing one-peice swimsuits because of these designs.

Alas, the AUD is currently going strong and www.blackmilkclothing.com is not cheap. So if you can't afford the real thing, you can do it the innovative way. It is still absolutely cool! And if the counterfeit police comes after you, well, you can easily throw it in the thrash because it was well, one to begin with.

So, for brand conscious Singaporeans who hate using condoms, get the LV. It's the best thing to wear when you're wearing nothing. Although I'd say, wait for the Angry Bird condom.
