The Artistic Look of an Idol

The Artistic Look of an Idol






Both world-class idols in their own right, makeup artist, Zing, and costume designer, Titi Kwan, sat down exclusively with Lane Crawford on the eve of her Hong Kong performance, to talk about their inspirations and process of creating the image of Faye Wong for her 2011 tour.  A concept divided into 5 chapters, they created a look starting with Winter, and moving on to Spring, Summer, Autumn, and the final chapter is Reincarnation.

Zing has yet again worked his magic to give Faye five dramatic looks, all requiring a quick turnaround; while, Titi has perfected an elegant and cutting-edge wardrobe, citing Madeleine Vionnet as his muse.

Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.


Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

May 4—July 31, 2011







The Romantic Mind

“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.”


Romantic Gothic and Cabinet of Curiosities



“People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don’t see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.”




Romantic Nationalism

“The reason I’m patriotic about Scotland is because I think it’s been dealt a really hard hand. It’s marketed the world over as . . . haggis . . . bagpipes. But no one ever puts anything back into it.”




Romantic Exoticism


“I want to be honest about the world that we live in, and sometimes my political persuasions come through in my work. Fashion can be really racist, looking at the clothes of other cultures as costumes. . . . That’s mundane and it’s old hat. Let’s break down some barriers.”




Romantic Primitivism

“I try to push the silhouette. To change the silhouette is to change the thinking of how we look. What I do is look at ancient African tribes, and the way they dress. The rituals of how they dress. . . . There’s a lot of tribalism in the collections.





Romantic Naturalism

“I have always loved the mechanics of nature and to a greater or lesser extent my work is always informed by that.”

HARVEY NICHOLS Window











鋪天蓋地的花草,
春意映然的塗雅,
優雅但創意的Dummies姿態,
砌出HARVEY NICHOLS 的London Window。
