These double layered silk in the color of slightly pinkish light beige trousers are one of many that I had made in HK during my trip. I could never buy pants off the rack without getting them tailored in the waist, butt (because I have none) and length. At the end the retail cost of the pants and the tailoring in NY costs a fortune! But these pants fit me like a glove right from the start for a fraction of the cost! I’m not doing a great job showing off the high waisted part with a great V dip detail nor am I showing off the true length but for this outfit wearing it like this made sense. I absolutely love the unique color, cut and every detail that I neurotically specified that Soong Salon happily indulged me in. It may seem like the most normal looking pair of pants to most but to me it’s the pair I had in my head for ages and couldn’t find anywhere! The only fault that I overlooked was that I chose a fabric that tends to wrinkle quite a lot. But no matter for this round, I’ll be diligently pressing them before each wear. I have no idea why HK women buy off the rack, with custom tailoring you can wear your hearts desire every time and have it fit to perfection.
Top: Rodan vs Griffith tank
Bottom: My own design/custom tailoring by Soong Salon in HK
Shoes: Dolce&Gabbana Peep toe snake skin sandals

Love the crisp look! those shoes are lovely xo

great job on the tailoring!! did you purchase the fabric in Hong Kong or in New York? This outfit exudes Dries.
p.s. I most definitely think you can make Dr. Martens your style, especially the ones in black patent, which I can see with your more tailored/menswear pieces.

The sheen of those pants from over yonder is just right. I can imagine how these pants can be dressed up and down. Did you buy the fabric in the US?
on May 15th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Well I can see that they fit you like a glove, and they’re gorgeously made! Can’t wait to see more of your bespoke goodies!

“I have no idea why HK women buy off the rack, with custom tailoring you can wear your hearts desire every time and have it fit to perfection.” — totally agree. This perplexed me too while I was in Asia especially when buying off the rack cost about the same or maybe marginally less. Beautiful pants and the outfit is fantastic!

This belt is genius, babe!! The cut of your pants is brilliant!
on May 16th, 2009 at 3:07 am
great trousers, the cut looks perfect
on May 16th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Every piece of this outfit is perfect!
The pants turned out amazing!
And I’m in love with the booties (and tank, and belt…)

Your custom designed pants are beautiful. Absolute perfection- I am so jealous you had the opportunity to get some pieces custom made.

great idea to wear the belt backwards!
and the shoes are just simply stunning.
i was looking through your entries, and i really really adore your style!
on May 18th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Beautiful. You’re making me feel like I wasted my trip to Hong Kong a few years ago! 1 whole week there, and I didn’t even think of going to a tailor!
on May 18th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Loved your HK recap….I actually nearly shed a tear as I miss the city quite a bit now not having been back for close to three years….
I’m also now the right age for being bothered to get something tailored too so I will definitely get something done up next time I go…..
lovely lovely trews and beautiful colour too!
on May 18th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Somehow it’s very comforting to see you against your brick wall again.
) That sounds so odd, but you know what I mean? I love the tailored pants–great job. I hope you got more!! judy
