Considering that their lack of financial resources is always a major obstacle for many emerging Asian/Hong Kong designers to moving their career goals one step forward, I, being a Hong Kong-based fashion blogger bearing a primary mission to bring any potential Asian/Hong Kong designers to the world’s attention, feel an urge to “do something” to make the name of our future design stars from Asia/Hong Kong known, and their works seen as their talents deserve to be valued despite deficiency of both financial back-up and manpower from my end.</p><p>I am not afraid to dream big though. September’s Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza is a multi-designer trunk show tri-organized by the experienced fashion show producer/consultant in New York, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yanna.begelman?fref=ts">Yanna Begelman</a>, French web editor based in Europe, <a href="http://www.kievglam.com/">Ruben Landsberger</a> and by me to provide the emerging Asian/Hong Kong designers with an international platform to present their signature collection to the media/brand investors/buyers/customers around the world in New York. Unlike other fashion shows at the commercialized fashion weeks, all invitations were not made in a random manner. Designers being invited to participate in this show whether specialized in fashion or accessories were solely picked from my preference list and their collection showcased will for sure reflect my personal taste in fashion as a blogger. I aim at creating an extravaganza of Asian creative talents to dazzle the US media, as well as making it an absolutely exclusive experience for both the designers and audiences.</p><p>5 exceptional designers are to be featured at New York Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza:<br /> 1) <a href="http://www.naokotsuruta.com/">Naoko Tsuruta</a>: Hong Kong-based Japanese couture designer inspired by traditional kimono <br /> <br /> 2) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nobeing?ref=br_tf">Yen Yeung</a>: Hong Kong-based jewelry designer and founder of <a href="http://www.nobeinggroup.com/">NoBeing</a>, her pieces have everything a sparkling girl could want, bling, chunkiness and many more.<br /> <br /> 3) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Karen-Morris-Milliner/354920041206060">Karen Morris</a>: Minnesota-based Hong Kong-born millinery designer and founder of <a href="http://www.kmhats.com/">Karen Morris Millinery</a> best known for her craftsmanship and unlimited creativity to play with colors and materials</p><p>4) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rbrkhk">Betty Lau</a>: handbag designer from Hong Kong and founder of <a href="http://www.rbrk.hk/">RBRK</a> offering metropolitan ladies both versatile and chic bags perfect for every occasion <br /> <br /> 5) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/angelwongimage">Angel Wong</a>: based in Hong Kong, Angel Wong founded <a href="http://www.angelwongimage.com/">Angel Wong Image</a> 10 years ago in 2004. She plays a double role as professional make-up artist and headpiece/jewelry designer. She perceives and interprets aesthetics in a comprehensive way, which makes her pursue creating harmony of the total look.

I'm not a big candle person myself, but I couldn't resist these modern, handmade ones by <a title="Et Al Designs" href="http://www.etaldesigns.com/" target="_blank">Et Al Designs</a>. They come in all these fun, unusual patterns -- like mine are black tapers with little rhinestone swirls all over them, which I found at <a title="Elevenzees" href="http://www.elevenzees.com/" target="_blank">Elevenzees</a> in Wicker Park.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IB2H0JAt-ZQ/TPvgnnUdU3I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/pzmSBLhU7r4/s1600/metallic+houndstooth+BJ+wallet+at+metropark.jpg"><img height="199" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IB2H0JAt-ZQ/TPvgnnUdU3I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/pzmSBLhU7r4/s320/metallic+houndstooth+BJ+wallet+at+metropark.jpg" width="320" border="0" alt="metallic+houndstooth+BJ+wallet+at+metropark.jpg" /></a></div><p><strong>Betsey Johnson Houndstooth Wallet</strong> ($59): Do you have a friend or sister that's a little preppy and a little rock 'n roll?

Considering that their lack of financial resources is always a major obstacle for many emerging Asian/Hong Kong designers to moving their career goals one step forward, I, being a Hong Kong-based fashion blogger bearing a primary mission to bring any potential Asian/Hong Kong designers to the world’s attention, feel an urge to “do something” to make the name of our future design stars from Asia/Hong Kong known, and their works seen as their talents deserve to be valued despite deficiency of both financial back-up and manpower from my end.</p><p>I am not afraid to dream big though. September’s Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza is a multi-designer trunk show tri-organized by the experienced fashion show producer/consultant in New York, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yanna.begelman?fref=ts">Yanna Begelman</a>, French web editor based in Europe, <a href="http://www.kievglam.com/">Ruben Landsberger</a> and by me to provide the emerging Asian/Hong Kong designers with an international platform to present their signature collection to the media/brand investors/buyers/customers around the world in New York. Unlike other fashion shows at the commercialized fashion weeks, all invitations were not made in a random manner. Designers being invited to participate in this show whether specialized in fashion or accessories were solely picked from my preference list and their collection showcased will for sure reflect my personal taste in fashion as a blogger. I aim at creating an extravaganza of Asian creative talents to dazzle the US media, as well as making it an absolutely exclusive experience for both the designers and audiences.</p><p>5 exceptional designers are to be featured at New York Asian Fashion Week Extravaganza:<br /> 1) <a href="http://www.naokotsuruta.com/">Naoko Tsuruta</a>: Hong Kong-based Japanese couture designer inspired by traditional kimono <br /> <br /> 2) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nobeing?ref=br_tf">Yen Yeung</a>: Hong Kong-based jewelry designer and founder of <a href="http://www.nobeinggroup.com/">NoBeing</a>, her pieces have everything a sparkling girl could want, bling, chunkiness and many more.<br /> <br /> 3) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Karen-Morris-Milliner/354920041206060">Karen Morris</a>: Minnesota-based Hong Kong-born millinery designer and founder of <a href="http://www.kmhats.com/">Karen Morris Millinery</a> best known for her craftsmanship and unlimited creativity to play with colors and materials</p><p>4) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/rbrkhk">Betty Lau</a>: handbag designer from Hong Kong and founder of <a href="http://www.rbrk.hk/">RBRK</a> offering metropolitan ladies both versatile and chic bags perfect for every occasion <br /> <br /> 5) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/angelwongimage">Angel Wong</a>: based in Hong Kong, Angel Wong founded <a href="http://www.angelwongimage.com/">Angel Wong Image</a> 10 years ago in 2004. She plays a double role as professional make-up artist and headpiece/jewelry designer. She perceives and interprets aesthetics in a comprehensive way, which makes her pursue creating harmony of the total look.

No longer do you have to shelf your pumps for winter. These <a title="hue slouchy legwarmers at bloomingdales" href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=496368&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results" target="_blank">chunky knit ones by Hue</a> can be worn over tights with a skirt (as shown) or over jeans/leggings. You can also wear them slouched down (as shown), pulled up the calf, or under tall boots so just the top peeks through. (Click the link to see other images.)

I'm not a big candle person myself, but I couldn't resist these modern, handmade ones by <a title="Et Al Designs" href="http://www.etaldesigns.com/" target="_blank">Et Al Designs</a>. They come in all these fun, unusual patterns -- like mine are black tapers with little rhinestone swirls all over them, which I found at <a title="Elevenzees" href="http://www.elevenzees.com/" target="_blank">Elevenzees</a> in Wicker Park.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear:both;text-align:center;"><a style="clear:left;float:left;margin-bottom:1em;margin-right:1em;" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IB2H0JAt-ZQ/TPvgnnUdU3I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/pzmSBLhU7r4/s1600/metallic+houndstooth+BJ+wallet+at+metropark.jpg"><img height="199" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IB2H0JAt-ZQ/TPvgnnUdU3I/AAAAAAAAAeQ/pzmSBLhU7r4/s320/metallic+houndstooth+BJ+wallet+at+metropark.jpg" width="320" border="0" alt="metallic+houndstooth+BJ+wallet+at+metropark.jpg" /></a></div><p><strong>Betsey Johnson Houndstooth Wallet</strong> ($59): Do you have a friend or sister that's a little preppy and a little rock 'n roll?
