About

WHAT IS BEYUNIQUE?

BEYUNIQUE is an ethos of life founded by Lucy Yun. Since she was very young, she has been non-stop searching her soul. Her never-ending journeys continued from personality tests to travelling throughout Europe, Asia, Oceania and North America. One thing was very clear- she always yearned to be herself; not to be swayed by mega trends, brainwashed by mass media, or influenced by celebrities. When she moved to Vancouver in 2010, she created BEYUNIQUE, which means to be YUN (herself) and to BE UNIQUE. A decade has flown by, BEYUNIQUE still stands as a place for Lucy's self-expressionism.

[Trend Report] 2012 Spring/Summer 5 Key Fashion Trends



It's been a few weeks since New York, London, Milan and Paris had filled with a lot of fashionistas flew into the cities for the biannual fashion weeks. In spite of the events which were representing the upcoming fall season, I'm sure many of us are still dying to have the warm spring back. Which is why I think it's great time to go over 2012 Spring/Summer fashion weeks from New York, London, Milan to Paris to see what's in and what's out, also to forecast what to keep, store or throw away, or to have in mind what to buy for your spring shopping. These are 5 key trends that are the most outstanding through the fashion weeks that I personally picked for 2012 Spring/Summer season:




1. ARTISTIC DIGITAL PRINTS



There were many designers from Altuzarra, Alexander Wang, Dries Van Noten, Mary Katrantzou, Rodarte, Balenciaga to Prabal Gurung to name a few that presented their collections with own prints; some are made with digital technology and others with existing arts. Whichever how they created their prints, the common thing among them is that they suggested new creative ideas of mixing and matching prints in very artistic way. Altuzarra showed beautiful tops, pants and dresses covered with floral prints, Alexander Wang's collection was filled with sporty and sexy racing-motif tees and trousers. Dries Van Noten'd brought oriental landscape paintings inspired by nature into clothes that seemed to be drawn with ink.


One of the hottest designers in New York, Prabal Gurung's collection was dominated abstract prints in purple, not in an overwhelming but very romantic yet erotic way as having a variety of fabrics such as silk and chiffon with a hint of black leather.


Balenciaga's collection was reinterpreted the traditional archives to the post-modern prints that seemed like stroke-drawn, the leading designer of women's purse Reed Krakoff's abstract prints were well-refined and sophisticated with simple silhouette, Mary Katrantzou's collection was full of flower-garden-inspired prints which securing her position as Queen of prints in London. Rodarte's collection was as if visiting Vincent van Gogh Museum as it'd seen with the popular paintings of him such as Sunflowers or The Starry Night. 





2. ALL-IN-WHITE


The second outstanding trend of 2012 Spring/Summer is head-to-toe white looks which'd shown by Raf Simons from Jil Sander, Phoebe Philo from Celine, Karl Lagerfeld from Chanel, Victoria Beckham, Dries Van Noten and Haider Ackermann. 
Phoebe Philo from Celine'd designed over-sized and cocoon-shaped jackets with exaggerated pockets, clean and sharp silhouetted tops and blouses with peplum details.

It wasn't that hard to find all-in-white looks from other designer brands such as Chanel, Hermes, Haider Ackermann, Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney, Dries Van Noten, Victoria Beckham to Altuzarra. It is definitely one of the strongest trends in this spring, although it could be pretty hard to pull off in real way as they are many elements that will make it dirty.




3. OPTIMISTIC SPORTISM


This spring, a lot of fashion designers seem to convey positive energy as the global economy's been not doing so well. The cool, sporty and positive vibes were shown from Alexander Wang, Balenciaga and Victoria Beckham.


One of the dearest fashion shows London Fashion Week, Burberry Prorsum also reformed classic Burberry jackets into playful and sporty anoraks. Marc by Marc Jacobs's look was as if he designed a uniform for American national team, and the representative of , Isabel Marant showed cool and hip Parisian chic with active anorak jackets.



4. ORANGE CRUSH


In 2012 S/S season, you probably will have to keep various shades of pinks in your wardrobe, because the hottest color for this spring is not pink as usual unfortunately. As you can see above and below, there weren't many designers showing pink in their collections, but sun-bursting orange colors were painted in many runways. Mary Katrantzou, Diane von Furstenberg,  Dolce & Gabanna used oranges mixed with patterns and prints, whereas Micheal Kors and Isabel Marant tie-dyed orange-colored fabrics.


Victoria Beckham and Marc by Marc Jacobs's collections were full of playful and casual pieces in orange, whereas Hermes, Donna Karan and Doo.Ri's were showing more sophisticated and feminine shades in orange.



5. ROMANTIC PEPLUM


Peplum's been a strong fashion statement since last F/W season, but it doesn't seem to be washed away this S/S season either. Givenchy showed mannish suits with cigarette pants that mainly focused on the feminine peplum on the center. Marc Jacobs didn't miss the mega trend as showing peplum-pointed skirt-suit. The fashion designer who's known for knowing women's body very well, Phoebe Philo of Celine showed various tops and jackets with peplum effect. Also, Stephano Pilati's Yves Saint Laurent and Jason Wu showed peplum tops or dresses in pretty pink.






It took me nearly 2 weeks analyzing, collecting the material and writing this trend report. In the meantime, all of the F/W Fashion Week from New York, London, Milan and Paris had finished. I must admit, there can be quite a bit of grammatical mistakes and errors, but I hope you enjoy this article and find it helpful. Thanks so much for visiting BEYUNIQUE!

[Outfit] Fashionably Blonde

I have always been a sucker for dying my hair colour since I was really young. I remember I 
used to be so scared of getting caught of my hair colour changed to teachers in schools after 
breaks as they had very strict rules about students' appearance. In grade 12, my home 
teacher who was an extraordinarily hysterical lady gathered all of my classmates and 
stranded around them as catching what the gals(it was a female high-school) been up to 
during the break. Of course, she caught my lightly-brown hair with a little bit of curls. I 
insisted it's my natural hair colour and style but she didn't trust me, unfortunately. The 
result? I had to straighten and dye my hair black right the day after. 


Despite my teachers and schools's desperate policy to prevent anything that might distract
students from getting good grades at the university exam, I haven't stopped my hair dyed 
a variety of brown, black or even cherry-ish red colours. But I have never tried blonde. 
Which is why I was quite nervous in the morning of my hair appointment with the hair 
stylist, Shane who's not only an amazing hairdresser but also is very stylish. At Au Soleil
 in Gastown, where beautiful chandelier shining on the ceiling and brick-walls with antique
 mirrors that make you look prettier, he made the magic happen.

What do you think? Do I look good in blonde? Or would you prefer me to stay in brown hair?



[Collage] Garden Party




I know I posted "Mad for Prints" not while back, but I haven't got this flowery pattern over
 yet. These are the items that I would die for my upcoming photo shoot. I only have a floral 
skirt in my closet, which means that I gotta get these all from somewhere. I've got my eyes 
on window display of every shops walking by. Can't wait for garden party with floral items!

[Outfit] The Ides of March


Finally I took the action about what I've only thought of in my mind: 
Creating a look book team! Now I've got great talents donated and dedicated 
for this project. With the amazingly talented Photographer Darum Eum, 
the outcome couldn't look better. The photoshoot day chosen was very improvised 
just because of the weather which was coincidently on the ides of March

And also I've done hair consulting today with an wicked Hairstylist Shane! 
I'm probably going to get it dyed as blonde. I am not entirely sure if I would 
look good in blonde since I've never gotten it done on my hair.
It's a bit scary to be frank yet I love trying something new!
What do you think? Do you think I'd look good in blonde? :)




More stylish photos coming up soon!  So please keep visiting my blog "beYUNique". 
And don't forget to hype me or become a fan of my look book. Thank you so much! xx
