(kev) i love blue
This wednesday, !BERT catches up with !kev for an insight into this season's summer tips. We caught him at Isl@ndSh8p looking daintly at some linen shirts, that were way gauche.
!BERT: We discovered that you have taken over the helm of Isl@ndSh8p, is it true?
!kev: I'm not supposed to say anything about this taking over or that taking over... but as far as my eye can see now, Isl@ndSh8p is not going anyway without a major revamp. If it needs be, I can rip this shop apart within seconds with a click of my fingers. I'm not tolerating any more fabric weaving problems after the last batch from Bangladesh ruined my decorative designs. And I simply ordered them to dump the awful designs away. And even with peals from the poor nanny workers losing their jobs, I am fixed at my position, unfazed, unmoved. No one's telling me what to do here.
!BERT: I see, this calls for major restructuring. Do you have any comments on Brtsh Ind@ ?
!kev: *flicks his hands* That god forsaken label! You can obviously tell that the designs were all copied from my last season's. I tell you honestly that it is not even worth mentioning. Firstly, Brtsh Ind@ chose to engage in a head-on competition with us, with linen fabrics and now that they are even thinking of copying my designs... TELL me how cheap can they get?
!BERT: OK... but i see that you have donned on a Brtish ind[@ three quarters today... And the sandals doesn't look very authentic either. Did you steal it from Brtishnd@ ?
!kev: You can't really tell what's bad and what's good can you? Do I need to remind you that I do not tolerate any comparisions between my label and that label? You do not understand the pains that I have to go through when people, even people like you, mistaken my stuff for Brtsh ind@. And not to mention, my sandals are authentic Birkenstock.
!BERT: The Harrods bag looks chic. Where did you buy it from? And perhaps we can have a look at what's inside?
!kev: Of course, in fact it's a limited edition. The standard edition you may purchase in Singapore is without the logo. You see this? I specially ordered it anyway... there's no way you can get it in Singapore! *beams delightfully* I'm particularly loving this bag though I loooooove linen the most. And the material? I deeply regretted ordering black PVC of this size, when weeks later, I spotted another petite bag!
!BERT: Let's take a final look into your bag.
!kev: Well, the normal stuff that a designer has.. Some sketches and some pencils. I usually reserve them for urgent moments like when I'm on the go and an idea pops out of my head. I can't tell when this happens, so I usually take some writing material along me with. I usually carry around with me, an Evian waterbottle to keep my skin hydrated. And there's my book, a French novel in fact, Georges Perec' novel - La Disparition, that is amazingly constrained because the author did not use a single E in his book. That's lipogram for your information.
!BERT: Thank you for allowing us to take precious time off your busy schedule.
