FAH CHAK - AMORE ARMOR

A very overdue post but still important all the same..

One of my very best friends Fah Chak graduated this year with an MA in Menswear at the RCA, creating (unsurprisingly) a beautifully ornate and covetable collection. Based on a broken love story between a knight and a princess, the Amore Armor collection oozes with romanticism and regality, juxtaposing softness with intricate laser-cut details and finished off with the Midas touch.

She has since scooped up an ITS#10 award, winning the opportunity to work for Maison Martin Margiela in Paris later this year, and has earned bucket loads of press on the way.

We had some fun together doing the shoot for the finalists catalogue a few months back, where we had to add a subliminal heart into the photograph.. see if you can spot the hearts (there's 2)!

She never ceases to amaze me with her mad skills (and ridiculously perfect haircut), and yet she remains one of the best pals a girl could have.

Me and the boyf will be hitting Thailand and HK this September and she's going to be our personal tour guide since Bangkok is where she calls home. Very exciting times!

Here's to an amazing designer and an even better friend! xx
