Season has come to a change as well as the fashion collection. We “Friends Like Them” luckily received the sneak-peak of Jimmy Choo Autumn/Winter 2011 collection behind the scene video for the advertising campaign shoot.
"This season I looked to the women who have always inspired me for their chic, empowered sense of dress. The creative talent of Meisel transports us to a moment of stolen romance, perfectly capturing my vision for the season and the energy and spirit of the Jimmy Choo woman."
Tamara Mellon OBE, Founder and Chief Creative Officer – Jimmy Choo
Steven Meisel and Jimmy Choo worked together for the first time for this advertising campaign. Taken the cinematic scene of 1970’s Parisian noir film added femininity created the stunning collection. This campaign also features men's collection product in conjunction with the launch of Jimmy Choo men's shoes.
Not only the shoe collection that will make your heartthrob, Jimmy Choo handbags collection also irresistible. Inspired from the early '70s and the sultry stars of the time; icons Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, and Veruschka, all admired as much for their beauty and style on-camera.

From the unforeseen earthquake and tsunami incident which happened in Japan on March, 11st 2011 created extreme catastrophe for the whole country. Countries worldwide have been trying to help Japan as many ways as possible. One of our friend in London just hosted a not so small event “Hope and Love for Japan: Charity Designer Sales” by raising fund to donate to Japan Red Cross.
Our friends have organised a sale of designer clothing at the amazing Concrete (beneath Shoreditch House, London, UK) on the 7th and 8th June. And on the 8th the Japanese Ambassador has given a speech as well as giving out raffle with many amazing prizes to be won.
The designers who joined include ASOS, Camilla Skovgaard, Mulberry, Paul Smith, Stella Mccartney and many more. One of our close Thai designer friend also joined the event, The Only Son.
After all the sales then they take everyone into the party spirit with DJ Gilles Peterson and friends hitting the decks until late.
Lady Gaga album just came out two weeks ago while last weekend the Thai diva legend Christina Aguilar just had her 20th Anniversary concert. And in the next few weeks Kylie Minogue will be having her world tour concert in Bangkok. The girl power is everywhere in the air! So I guess before meeting the real deal we shall have a little pre-party for the girls like you!
Tomorrow one of our friends, “Pride BKK”, is hosting a fabulous party “GiRLS NiTE OUT XXX
Not only the theme representing everybody feminine side but the music that will be playing are all the C- pop songs or something ranging from Spice Girls, Madonna, Lady Gaga to N’Sync, LFO, etc…
Basically we haven’t really decided what to wear yet but after looking through piles and piles of photo and magazines we found these lovely Boudoir by Disaya lingerie and their LUXE collection that will definitely match the party tomorrow night!!
Just match the pieces with thin white shirt and high waisted skirt or short then your ready to dance all night long!! xx
So what’s up with this weird random people lying down facing the ground!?! Well the “lying down game” or in other word “planking” has recently become an internet phenomenon.
The phenomenon of planking involves lying face down in a public place - the stranger the better - and posting photos on social networking sites such as Facebook. Aficionados lie expressionless with a straight body, hands by their sides and toes pointing into the ground.
A little information for you guys who wonder how did this thing start. According to our random research, the pointless crazy planking was invented by 2 men, Gary Clarkson and Christian Langdon. The reason is still unknown for why they did so but simply just want to be amused.http://www.lyingdowngame.net/ If you want to participate in this, check their official website out at
Anyway after seeing all the planking craze in our Instagram (an app on iphone) we FRIENDS LIKE THEM decided to plank! We forced everyone in our team and asked our friends to do so here we go….
We have lots of friends who are working in the fashion industry but not many who can go international since the start. Ravens Heaven is one of them. Designed by Nancy Wong (a.k.a. Nancy Chuangkamhang) launched her first handbag collection in 2009 but within a year her Ravens Heaven’s bags are selling in Bangkok and Tokyo.
Nancy got herself started in the handbag business in 1999 when she was tapped to co-design and manage the heavy-metal, rock inspired leather handbags and silver jewelries for the local Japanese brands which retailed through multi-label stores in Tokyo and Osaka. And through her experiences in working in Bangok, Shanghai, Tokyo and Hongkong Ravens Heaven was born.
Nancy told Friends Like Them that “The brand has a “dare to be different” attitude, and is geared toward men and women with unique personalities, a strong sense of self and the confidence to craft their own personal style without letting others opinions influence them.” Her designs are best described as “sophistication with raw edges” – the perfect accessories for stylish urbanites with a taste for something different.
We have always been in love and inspire by the street style of people from everywhere. Lots of blog we looking at are mostly snap shots or photographs of people.
Friends Like Them wants to do something a little more different by creating a street style video. This is our very first video so it might not be absolutely perfect but as you know practice make perfect so there will surely be more videos coming soon.
As we’ve introduced earlier that we are not just a fashion blog but will do everything about lifestyle. Our last post was about music so Friends Like Them have a little fun thought of creating Friends Like Them Playlist for each month!!
We will put up 10 songs every month, not only newest and coolest stuff but also what our Friends Like Them people are listening to, the oldies, the forever favourite, something we’ve long forgotten or sometimes the mass lame track one but we love to hate it.
So here goes our first ever Friends Like Them Playist…Hope all you guys enjoy it J xx
We heard the song “Run the world (Girls)” on the radio for several weeks now and finally the music video is out! The video was premiere at American Idol 2 days ago and within 2 days the video hits over 2.5 million views.
Well Queen B never ever let us down. The video featured so many world designers we love from Alexander McQueen dress in last collection, Givenchy couture, Gareth Pugh mirror shoes, and more.
These are what she wore in the video…impressive right!!??
