Hansel

I don't think I have said enough on my blog but I have always been supportive of local designers / labels (as much as I adore international designers and labels), or at least I am trying to (since my knowledge of local designers are pathetically little so I won't embarrass myself listing it out here). Mainly because, I do believe that they are as good as international ones. This year or rather, recently, I find myself trying to shop locally as much as possible, unless the odd Topshop / high street labels urge spikes up here and there. One of my utmost favourites? Hansel.

Founded by Jo Soh, I have always admired her vision and designs. Her label is simply amazing and (pardon me for gushing like a crazy fan girl) I love every piece from her collections. They are simply breathtaking. Modern, fun, quirky which speaks minimalism at the same time, her clothes are wearable for an everyday gal too. And that is very important as well.

Some of my favourite pieces:

This year, one of my birthday goals is to own a Hansel piece (on top of getting to learn more about local designers and labels) and it is becoming a reality. (Pardon me, I have always been frivolous) Discovered some Hansel items on sale yesterday and I think I just died a little because I want to survive to purchase them. (Omg, I sound freakishly cheesy) Will march over to The Mandarin Gallery and get them today.

Hope they don't sell out that fast! (Cues crossing fingers and toes)
