KPop Stars Galore At The “YG Family 2014 GALAXY Tour: POWER IN SINGAPORE” Press Conference Presented By Samsung

Hi Huneybees,

For those lucky fans who have purchased "YG Family 2014 GALAXY Tour: POWER in Singapore" concerts for 13 or/and 14 September, congratulation as you have been entertained by some of the hottest names in the K-pop industry: BIGBANG, PSY, 2NE1, Epik High and YG Entertainment's highly anticipated new boy band, WINNER!

For those who was not as lucky to attend the only Southeast Asia stop of this tour, don't be sad, Huney'Z World was at the press conference to bring you some of the up close and personal photos taken during the session.

BIG BANG

It's unfortunate to learn that Big Bang member Seungri could not attend the press conference with the rest of the band as he was involved in a car accident just hours before they were due to fly to Singapore. Fortunately he did not suffer any major injuries but his presence was definitely missed as evidence when the rest of the member of BIG BANG entered solemnly into the press conference.

Nevertheless the session quickly turned lighthearted when the artists were asked various questions submitted earlier by the media.

One such instance was when Big Bang was asked which artist inspires them, TOP answered, “WINNER. They inspire us because they are winners."

My favorite moment was when 2NE1 member Dara mentioned that she would like to do some acting but when suggested by TOP to do a teary scene on the spot, she boldly said that instead of a crying scene, she would rather do a kissing scene and would choose Epik High’s Mithra Jin to be her partner. This prompted Tablo to chant, “Right now!”

Throughout the session, the artistes constantly outdo each other by taking selfies with the latest Samsung mobile phones issued to them.

Here are some of the funny moments taken specially for you!

武林大会 @ SECTS SHOP (orchardgateway)

Hi Huneybees,

It was a 武林大会 (Martial Arts Symposium) as Fashion heros and heroines met at orchardgateway for the SECTS SHOP opening. It was a friendly meetup with cardboard weapons and pinot noir served in Chinese teacups as we all gathered to celebrate the opening of this multi-label store.

“We didn’t want to create just any other multi-label shop. Instead, we created a concept store with a pugilistic theme – curating brands to represent the ‘masters’ of each fashion genre. You’ll even be greeted with the words ‘WU LIN DA HUI’ when you enter the store’ --- Kenny Lim, designer and co-owner of SECTS SHOP

After debuting at Cineleisure late last year, SECTS SHOP has finally moved into their new home. Founded and curated by Singapore-based designer duo - Kenny Lim and Andrew Loh (Creators of fashion label DEPRESSION). The shop has an eclectic mix of streetwear labels that are new to Singapore with International Menswear brands and Unisex Accessories, Bags, Shoes and even Home Ware!

Some of the exciting brands that are available at Sects Shop are Adlib from Hong Kong, Moheap bags and caps from Spain, cult UK streetwear brand Ivory Jar, Sugarpills tees and sweatshirts from the US, G-Dragon's favourite Korean streetwear brand - Human Potential, Inch Child from Hong Kong that is well loved by HK celebrities, Uuendy Lau and Manique accessories from Hong Kong, cult underground shoe brand YRU, Proef stockings and socks from Japan, URB from Germany, Eye Candle from Taipei and Blackbird incense and perfumes from the US, as well as Antidepressant (Depression’s second line).

Day 4 of FIDé Fashion Weeks 2013 - Burkman Bros, Uomo Collezioni, Surrender

Hi Huneybees,

On Saturday, not only did G-Dragon did a mini showcase at FIDé Fashion Weeks 2013, 4 menswear labels were also presented with G-Dragon sitting in as VIP for one.

The day kickstarted with the show by Burkman Bros, a 2010 nominess for the GQ/CFDA Best New Menswear Designer in America Award. Originally from Canada, Doug and Ben Burkman take their inspiration from their travels to far-flung countries. For this Spring/Summer 2014 collection, they were inspired by their trip to Thailand, casual wear for the men with a choice of prints and motifs and bright and pastel colours. Floral prints with rope sandals were an inspiration of the Thai farmers and not to mention tha shades and bags for easy travelling as well!

Alex Minsky, a former marine (who lost his right leg in Afghanistan after his truck ran over an explosive) turned model, was the very first model to start the shows. He was also walking for Surrender and Songzio that night. Everyone applauded as he walked past, but all I could say is his tattoos and amazingly packed body was definitely a yummy sight.

Next, Uomo Collezioni presented a range of elegant, formal wear for men. The male models preened and looked very sharp in their suits with clean structured lines and gorgeous luxe materials like cashmeres, wools, and silks. The show closed with three models wearing beautiful overcoats with collars trimmed in a variety of rich furs. Travelling businessmen would definitely be looking suave for their trips!

The third show was by Surrender, the multi-label store presented six labels; Arts & Science, Christian Dada, En Noir, Maison Martin Margiela, Neighbourhood, Nanamica; and 29 exits, the ensembles were quietly stylish and the male audience were treated to a master class of mixing and matching. At the end, when the Alex Minsky and the male models stormed down the runway in black and fleshing their tattoos, I swear everyone could feel as those the Avengers were there!

For the last and final show for the night, the highly anticipated South Korean label, Songzio, brought us into his mystical forest. A collection of jackets with cropped sleeves, roomy culottes, djellabas, scarves, pedal pushers and elongated vests may be staples of a woman's wardrobe, but with Songzios pieces, they show real men do wear and can wear these styles without looking unmanly. The unique print of the shiny materials with black was as though the tree barks, giving it a sense of breaking through tradition....

Before I left the Marina Bay Sands, I even caught up with Alex Minsky and TV Personality/Host - Jeannie Mai. Can't wait for the Haute Couture nights!

Was dressed in DEPRESSION Panda top, G-Shock watch and spiked leather rings that day.
