Eco Film Fest 2010 - A Fun Thrash Fashion Competition for University Students!

Bring out the Fashion Police cause we are going to knock your fashion socks off at the Eco Film Fest 2010. Organised by Global Environment Centre (GEC) in partnership with CIMB Islamic, this fashion competition encourages university students to be creative in coming up with a fashion statement using only recycled items.

Be it plastics, paper, or even metal, this competition aims to fuse creativity and the idea of reusing items in the name of fashion. If you are a university student and would like to participate, sign up with GEC TODAY!


Dress it up! Most of the things we throw away can usually be used to make something new! What better way to re-use items than to fashion it into new clothes!


So get creative and design an entire outfit out of old or used items. A fashion show will be held at the Eco Film Festival on 17th October to show off your creation – so make sure you have a model ready and that your clothes can be worn!

1st Prize RM 1000*

2nd Prize RM 600*

3rd Prize RM 400*

*At least one person in the winning group must be a CIMB Islamic Ecosave Account holder to receive this amount. Groups who do not have an account holder within the group will only receive half the allocated prize money (i.e. 1st prize - RM 500, 2nd prize - RM 300, 3rd prize - RM 200).


All Entries MUST:

• Be made out of USED recyclable items and/or old, reusable materials.
• Be something practical that can be worn without falling apart.
• Cover the main body areas. Acceptable combination include: a dress, skirt and blouse, pants/shorts and shirt/top. Other accessories like shoes, bags, ties etc. can be included but must also be made out of recycled items.

DOWNLOAD the Entry Submission Form

Entries will be judged based on:

• Creativity/Originality
• Practicality
• Quality of Finishing
• Adherence to theme
• Use of old/reusable materials

Competition Rules

1. Participants can be individuals or groups with a maximum of 3 people.
2. Each entry must have a fully completed Entry Submission form attached to it.
3. ONE entry per person or group.
4. Participants must be present at the judging and prize-giving ceremony on 17th October 2010 at Green Rooms, Eco Film Festival 2010.

Entries that do not adhere to these rules will be instantly disqualified.

NOTES / TIPS:

• It may be argued that old or used clothes are considered re-using materials. It definitely is. But it is advisable to get a little bit more creative and use unconventional materials like used plastic bottles, box drink cartons, old newspapers etc. It should be as 'natural' and creative as possible and yet practical.
• Things like glue, thread etc. can obviously be used to put together the garment, but obviously if you can find a better way to put it together without using new materials that would be a bonus.

What are you waiting for? Use your thrash to make some serious money and most importantly, your fashion statement!

Memories: One-Legged Sado-Fashionist

I had a terrible accident almost four years ago.

Shattered my left tibia, among broken nose and other injuries.

My Bathing Ape x Marvel Comics "Silver Surfer" tee was covered with blood from that accident. Tried to wash it out but never perfectly cleaned so I threw it away.

Did it stop me from going out, have fun and wear something nice? Not a chance.

If you are sick, be sure to be sick in style.

Fucking Awesome's fucking awesome hoodie

You can't see actually I was sitting on an wheeled office chair, in an elevator. I still had my fibre cast on my left leg. This picture was taken on Christmas Eve 2006 in Penang. I was totally wasted and couldn't walk AT ALL.

And lastly at the Nike Air Force 1's 25th Anniversary back in 2007.

Rock you don't stop.

Adidas Originals Street Party: The Sneakers Invasion

So this is the final part of the recap, which I had to split the entry due to a lot of pictures involved, and it can get really messy, and dizzy.

As you have read the story and seen the pictures of the Adidas Originals: Street Party about a week ago, here we go with the main attraction of the night, The ADIDAS Sneakers Invasion.

*Note: Please be informed that I won't be able to identify ALL of the sneakers due to the abundance of models. Apart from that, enjoy the photos.

What was I wearing throughout the night?

Yours Truly:
347 tee
Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans
Adidas ObyO "Vulcanized Boots" by Kazuki Kuraishi

All Day I Dream About "S". Go figure.

Adidas Originals: The Street Party

First, watch this trailer:

Next, the real show.

*******

This invitation came by rather late, in fact just few hours before it started. But knowing me, I live for the moment, and I said YES without thinking twice. You wanna know why? Because of all the events I've been to, Adidas threw the coolest, and the most relaxed parties, never failed. Anyway, thanks to the good people in Adidas for the kind invitation.

As you can see on the card, the party starts at 8.30pm. And I, as a good Malaysian reached there right about time.

Walked down the small road to the entrance of the event, I already saw some familiar artworks and I just knew it's gonna be a nice event.

For your information, the 'evil-looking-but-most-probably-harmless' creatures on the walls is called Oneye ('one eye'), a fine creation by my fellow Komodo Ninja brother, Spoonman. You can check his funky artworks at Oneye by Spoonman. In fact, he did an awesome sneaker customize job for me, couple of years ago, but I shall write about that in another entry.

There were some sick easy riders too,

Which reminded me of mine, some years ago:

There must be some music performance (I saw the drummer of Bittersweet) but I wasn't quite sure if I missed it earlier or while I was out for a while for dinner at Sushi King.

By the time I got there again, the fashion preview was already half way.

Right after the fashion preview, a rather interesting performance came up by a glam, disco electropop female singer by the name of Saer Ze, or ZE! Think Madonna, Lady Gaga, MIA, Santogold, or Peaches. "I am so glam, I piss glitter," said ZE! Word. She was accompanied by three super energetic dancers throughout her performance.

The session was wrapped after few songs. Next up, this young man came up to the stage, I guess to perform? I wasn't quite sure at that time. He introduced himself as Shawn Lee, describes his next performance as a "small boy with big sounds!!" Oh boy, I wished you didn't say something else. Click on his name or Shawn Lee Beat Box to check his story.

And to my amazement, this dude flipped the whole event. He beatboxed like he's been doing it since karaoke box was just being invented. And how old is this kid, 18? Indeed, a very good talent.

His performance was recorded for only around three minutes, but you know what, he beatboxed the heck out of him for at least, SEVEN MINUTES, NON-STOP. Crazy kid. Do that for another three minutes and you'll end up being a radio.

No, no, no. It hasn't finished yet. What's there in an event without these two of the best DJs in Malaysia?

DJ Goldfish and DJ Blink (hiding somewhere - he's shy most of the times)

While I was jumping to the music by Goldfish and Blink, I saw these two very little kids, doing their own thing, so amazingly.

I thought both of them were done, but no, wait:

I seriously think if their parents (I think both of them are siblings - judging from the 'tightness' of their performance) encourage them to keep on dancing, I'll be like, MAD RESPECT.

Oh wait, this is the BEST, and I mean it, the BEST part of the night. Stephanie Chai was there too. No, that's still not the best part. The best part was, she was dancing her feet off, in front of me.

I was like, "Whoaaa... Hold on gorgeous," but I thought right after, like, it's not gonna happen again any time soon, so I was like, "Hey Stephanie!" and watch the video and look how she posed for me. Dalam hati ada taman...

And a few more pictures of the night,

Part II (Adidas Sneakers Invasion) coming up very soon. Keep checking.
