Urban Vintage

Hong Kong is the perfect love nest for impossible romances between the vintage and the modern. A little exploration in the hub of the city would find you amongst seemingly-crumbling buildings, transporting you into another world where traces of the past corrodes before your eyes, and all you can do is stare transfixed, mesmerised by the bitter beauty of it all. 

Buzz is wearing a corduroy shirt from Gap, jeans from Dolce & Gabbana, Topman socks and Diesel sneakers. Accessories including eyeglasses from Genic Eyewear, a 1955 vintage Shanghai watch, a vintage scarf and leather bracelet. Photographs by Christopher. Styling and Editing by Buzz.

Nevertheless, the “modernness”that lies in every one of us will build from our past better versions of ourselves, and in true New Year spirit, we look forward to bringing you an every-improving RunwayProtagonist in the future.

Happy New Year!

Holiday Blues

Christmas is officially arriving in 3 days! We can't wait for that annually anticipated Christmas dinner, and of course, the post-Christmas blues (and thankfully, sales as well!). 

Continuing from our previous post (where you can find a Holiday inspired menswear outfit), this time, we're showcasing our Christmasy womenswear outfit for the oodles of Christmas parties to look forward to! To celebrate one of the most beloved festival of the year, we've thrown in some strong colours and a comfy pair of heels to ensure the best party(and after-party) experience!

Have a very merry Christmas!

Holiday Tunes

Buzz is wearing MILK Shirts shirt, DSquared2 cufflinks, GAP trousers and Church's loafers. Accessories include a Trussardi tie, Seiko Premier watch, Tom Ford eyeglasses and a vintage Qing dynasty-inspired Puyi sunglasses. Popcorn from SOTE Popcorn. Photographs by Noor, Buzz and Vanessa. Styling and Editing by Buzz.

We've been trying to squeeze in as much fun as possible with the arrival of December, aka winter (the Hong Kong real deal ver.) aka Christmas (finally yipee!). While Buzz can drown in the miseries of surviving the very last few days of exams, we figured it wouldn't hurt to go sneak a few shots with our new guest photographer, Noor. With the abundance, and thankfully so, of Christmas parties, we thought it'll be nice (hear hear Santa) to give an idea of what we'd wear to one. 

With this being the first shoot starring both of us, we decided to kick off the first batch of photos with a Buzz who is decked in berry and holly, plus hints of what's to come next time!

While shooting, we also decided to attempt some seductive food modelling/advertising, as a result of sugar rush and being just a tad too happy from munching apple-flavoured popcorn. Alas, from the photo that ensured (unfortunately, the brutal annihilation of the apple-popcorn has been censored, and the single photo is what remained after some intense screening), Vanessa obviously couldn't withhold the true nature of her spiritual animal from the world.

Metallic Christmas : Runway Protagonist x Beyond Jewelery

Christmas is approaching, and in tune with the holiday spirit, we've created our own Christmas list of joy:

1. We're styling for Beyond Jewelery's Christmas Limited Edition collection - Dress Up. As avid lovers of Beyond Jewelery's hand adornments, we're sure you've already noticed us slipping in a few of these glam eye-catchers here and there in our previous posts. If this isn't motivation enough, just remember what great and unique Christmas presents these tattoos will make and grab some for your friends!

2. An added perk of our collaboration with Beyond Jewelery - wearing Melissa Bui's designs! Santa Claus must have heard our prayers (ahemstalkingahem) and seen our devotion to this amazing designer, so it was a literally a dream come true when we found out we'll get to work with her!

3. We've just started our Facebook page, so give us some love and give us a like! (Follow us on our Instagram page too if you haven't already!)

Alexandria - The Secret Garden

Add some Victorian elegance to this Christmas - ornament your hand with the Alexandria jewelery and be the belle of the ball, or let a little golden swirl peak out of your sweater and give this Christmas the perfect touch of magic.

Claudia - The Haute's Tea Party

Bring that extra sparkle to your fingertips and slip your hand into a sheer Claudia golden glove; or reach out and leave an impression with your Claudia wrist cuff as you embrace your loved ones during a Christmas party.

Skylar - Galactic Warrior

Stand out in this out-of-the-world design and make a statement with the Skylar boxes. Have something a little special up your sleeve this winter, and go knock 'em down!

Vanessa, adorned in the Alexandria, Claudia and Skylar Beyond Jewelery metallic tattoos, is wearing the Vela dress and Twilight Gown from Melissa Bui. Styling by Runway Protagonist. Photos and editing by Buzz.

Dark Horse

Our wanderlust adventures continues once again, and can basically be summarised as random spots of Hong Kong, sneaking past security and finding drop-dead gorgeous scenery. To this day, we still haven't figured out why the security guards had let us in.

Buzz is wearing a 3.1 Phillip Lim pullover, a MILK Shirts shirt, Dolce & Gabbana jeans and shoes by Alexander McQueen. Photographs from Oscar, styling and editing by Buzz.

Decked in Black

Armed with red smiles, golden bangles and a fiery frock, there is no world that this girl can't conquer.
