Tao Okamoto
























I like Tao Okamoto, I didn't realised it but I like boyish girl...and i hope i could pull their looks and styling.

These are her runway pictures...
She's not all those pretty pretty type...but she's electrifying











































































































































This is from 2009 fall winter by Philip Lim.
Her personal style inspires designer Philip Lim to style all his models into short bob haircut
to walk his show. Wigs are trimmed to similar length...
Which made me wanted grab a scissors and start cutting my hair.





















This is her modelling in one of the editorial.

















This is off the runway...

























This is her when she still had her long hair...She didn't appeal much with her long hair as compared to her short bob now. So recognizable...



I still like her bob...i wish i could pull it off looking as cool as she is...




Still looks better like this right?

Zipper Skirt



















Pin and cut ----------*scissors icon*---























Fold flaps and sew with rubberband
Sew the zips at both the left and right edge...lol
Top stitch at both sides of the zip...

























Well, the zip actually functions very well although its just for accessories purposes...

















Finish constructing and...
























Can see the black thread? its trimmings...
Pin and secure the edge...
Hand stitched it round the edge of the skirt....lol...
I wish sewing machine can do it...
























Tadaa!....finished product... its with 2 hidden pockets at the side!























And how it looks on actual human...

I promise i'll work on my weight management, so i could look better in pictures...lol
By far, this is my neatest sewing work...more to come!
