Macau #2 Blue China

We were sweating (and basically dying) as we walked around Macau on an excessively rainy and sunny day, when the sudden beckoning of air-conditioning and jazz music made us stop dead in our tracks. Our oasis glimmered in heavenly light in the form of the Leal Senado Square, the love child of secret gardens and blue china. Creative juices flowing under the inspiration of the contrasting lights, we created a look book for MIZU BRAND, an accessories brand with a love for aesthetics and style.

This shoot features their Kōdo Bracelet and Sodalite Stretch Bracelet. Perfect accessory pieces for the male looking to add a hint of personal style, MIZU is the place to go, may it be the stand-out-from-the-crowd tie, pocket square (and most recently and excitedly) or bag.

Buzz is wearing a Zara Oxford Shirt, Chinos from Gap, Espadrilles from Paul Smith Jeans. Accessories including the brown elastic belt from Japan, Italian hand-made spectacles, panama hat from The Panama Hat Company, the Kōdo Bracelet and Sodalite Stretch Bracelet from MIZU BRAND.

Macau #1 Azure

You'll know from our Instagram that we were at Macau 2 weeks ago, but you might not know where we were during those 2 weeks because we were busy finding aircon lest we melt into puddles (praise Hong Kong's shopping malls and their love for freezing air condition). But now that we've had our fix of ice-cream (for the time being), we're finally up and kicking with some summer-y photos from Macau featuring essential sunnies and hastily wiped-off sweat. 

We know we've been god-knows-where for a while, so we promise we're finally back for good with loads of new photos and exciting projects to share ;)

Buzz is wearing a Bedwin & the Heartbreakers shirt, I.T. pants and espadrilles by Paul Smith Jeans. Accessories include sunglasses from Illesteva, bracelets from MIZU Brand, panama hat from The Genuine Panama Hats, vintage Shanghai watch and woven belt from Japan. 

Vanessa is wearing a  Bershka top, Uniqlo skirt and Abercrombie & Fitch sandals. She also dons a  pair of Burberry sunglasses.

Milk Shirts x Purearth x TangTangTangTang

It's been 2 long months, but we're finally back with an event post and a sneak-peek!

In conjunction with the modern but oriental TangTangTangTang, MILK Shirts and Purearth collaborated together for a night of showcasing quality products for men at the heart of Wan Chai.

MILK Shirts, as one of our favourite brand, is your place for getting the perfect white shirts. Reasonably priced, MILK Shirts' shirts will make you feel at home with their detailed tailoring and high quality fabric. 

Runway Protagonist has also joined together with MILKs to offer our readers 10% off their order at MILKs. Just use the promo code "RPSS15" to get yourself the amazing shirt you always needed.

MILK Shirts' (http://milkshirts.com/) got menswear covered with their ready-to-wear and made-to-measure collections. In the backdrop of Hong Kong's heritage the Pawn, MILK Shirts showcased their take on the classic white shirt with a modern flair. The private trunk show had both MILK Shirts' existing and exciting new collection, with a never before seen collection of shirts in different colour ranges. 

The SS15 collection boasts different materials and contrasts with an especially strong focus on linen fabric. As a breathable fabric that has sparse stitches, linen is perfect for the gentlemen looking to stay dandy and dapper in the summer.

On the other hand, Purearth (http://www.purearth.asia/) made sure men and women alike took good care of their skin with skincare products made with ingredients sourced from the Himalayas, especially with their no-fuss personal care line made just for the modern men.

Buzz also found a new shirt for himself in MILK Shirt's new product for SS15. This shirt amongst others are currently only available made-to-measure, but will be hitting the (online) store soon. Don't forget to use our "RPSS15" code!

The Great White in all its glory.

Accessories including a Ralph Lauren Purple Label tie, Kew Gardens pocket square by MIZU Brand, green suspenders, hand-made lapel chain, vintage Shanghai watch and American Optical 1930-40 glasses.

In between revision time and panic attacks, we decided to sneak in one last photo-shoot. The fact that Vanessa's Missguided order came didn't help, and with my new suit finally made, how could we resist? Anyway, we paired up with our friend Windy to do a lookbook for the couple looking to pull off a sexy, modern flavour to the traditional suit. 

Our first look is a casual elegance, especially seen in Vanessa's power sandals and casual bun. We capture a bolder flavour in the second look by replacing the sandals with white-silver heels and a cascade of hair.

Buzz is wearing a Bespoke Solid Blue Double-Breasted Suit, White Milk Shirts with the cutaway collar and oxfords by Brooks Brothers Black Fleece X Crockett & Jones. Accessories including the Trussardi patterned silk tie, suspenders, textured pocket square by Mr Porter, lapel chain, cufflinks, sterling silver ring from COS, vintage Shanghai watch, Japanese hand-made clear acetate sunglasses and the Ted Baker satchel.

Vanessa is wearing a Missguided black jumpsuit and a pair of leather sandals from Abercrombie & Fitch for the first look, second look with the white snake-print heels from Missguided. Accessories including earrings and pouch from Monki, sunglasses from Illesteva, rings from Brandy Melville, COS and the Beyond Jewelry metallic tattoo.
