the talented Mr. Li

BRAND EXTENSION Patrick Li added Phillip Lim's signature stitching to gift-box ribbons.

RODARTE The references in the spring collection were a nebulous mix of California condors, wildfires and earthworks. Mr. Li singled out one element, burnt sand, which he applied to the invitations.

ALEXANDER WANG To convey a tough street vibe, Mr. Li printed the invitation on plain cardboard, which was encased in an envelope that could be ripped open with a perforated pull tab, suggesting a utilitarian edge.

PHILLIP LIM The broad appeal of Mr. Lim's collections comes with the risk of their being perceived as unexciting. Mr. Li added stitched threads to the invitation to subtly suggest that they had been made by hand.

JASON WU When Mr. Wu showed his pretty-girl collection at the St. Regis, Mr. Li wanted to evoke tradition with heavy stock trimmed with gold. He added a modern new logo to make it seem less old-fashioned.

megumi satsu!

megumi satsu (japanese: 薩めぐみ) is an eccentric singer born in sapporo, japan living in paris since the 1970s. she had the opportunity to sing some french poems written by the famous writer and poet jacques prévert. just a few years before dying, prévert saw satsu on tv; he was fascinated by her voice and her personality. he told his wife that satsu would be perfect for interpreting some of his unedited texts. prévert's wife contacted satsu after her husband died and the things happened.
satsu was a friend of jean baudrillard, the famous french sociologist. she is also inspired by the 30s when interpreting bertold brecht in french.

我們的秋天

曲：袁惟仁/詞：楊明學/編：黃中嶽/唱：王菲

擁有華麗的外表和絢爛的燈光
我是匹旋轉木馬身在這天堂
只為了滿足孩子的夢想
爬到我背上就帶你去翱翔

我忘了只能原地奔跑的那憂傷
我也忘了自已是永遠被鎖上
不管我能夠陪你有多長
至少能讓你幻想與我飛翔

奔馳的木馬讓你忘了傷
在這一個供應歡笑的天堂
看著他們的羨慕眼光
不需放我在心上

旋轉的木馬沒有翅膀
但卻能夠帶著你到處飛翔
音樂停下來你將離場
我也只能這樣

Random Welcome 周年紀念

今天是 Random Welcome 周年紀念。

哈，你們當日的相片還見報呢。
傻傻的聚會，卻成為一些快樂的片段，是吧。

想念。祝好。

occupied by 'being right'

don't let yourself occupied by 'being right'.
there is no such thing as right or wrong, or mistake.
there is just process.
or it's a feeling of what you like or dislike at a particular moment,
or a certain period of time.
learn through making things.
it's easy to talk people out of idea.
even 'history' is just different ideology perspectives to the same event.
it will be a shame if you give up.
use your talent.
you have some.

給香港人的小信件

一個社會需要不同聲音；這句說話人人都懂得說，但是為什麼需要呢？那些不同聲音要黎做咩呢？

因為我們要從多角度審視自己的身分；這才是它寶貴的地方。

沒有人小你，你會很大鑊。大家口說自己有意見，其實只是人云亦云，這是另一種大鑊。

我離港好一段日子了，這陣子，香港發生了許多事，電燈膽、國慶、美孚8000蚊一呎......大家是時候認真對待自己讀到的新聞，問問自己對這些事 exactly 有什麼看法，如果沒有，就與人討論，讀讀不同的評論，讓自己對世界有多些感受。

日子天天過，你到頭來死了，留下什麼呢？沒有什麼想法，就只留下一層樓？這是多麼的 on 9。

但這只是我的聲音，你也可以不信我的，自己找尋一下吧。

我在這裡一天到晚都在讀西方哲學和 art theory，說到底，學者們處理的問題來來去去都是那一堆：我是誰？誰誰誰的想法有沒有弱點？社會的從前現在和將來發生什麼事？什麼才是出路？how should we perceive the world？

人生來去匆匆，你到底想怎樣活你的人生？
