The Converse Chuck Taylor series always leave us with surprises. This time, an exclusive version of Chuck Taylor will be introduced to Japanese market only. As a all-time Converse fan, I know I would love to add these juicy Chuck Taylor to my collection.

This version of the Chuck Taylor All Star is made with the standard white rubber sole but also features a polyester upper with an all-over print covering the body and tongue as well as the insole and lining.

The new design that comes both in lemon and strawberry will be released in this coming April.

Farah Angsana’s Fall 2011 womenswear collection started off with a ‘bang’ compliments of Nancy Sinatra. Or, more specifically, DJ Lina, who was mixing live for the show, began mixing with Nancy Sinatra’s ‘My Baby Shot Me Down’ (familiar to anyone who has seen Kill Bill), which built suspense in the room until the moment the final ‘down’ reverberated throughout. Then, came the first look, a beatiful silver fox coat with silk embellished appliqué lace tulle corset.

Look after look came out to pounding electronic music until a final look came onto the runway and elicited a massive murmur from the audience—the only sound throughout the entire show that could be heard above the thumping bass. The dress: a white silk crystal encrusted gown with feather and organza ruffles and a silver fox stole; a look that completely ‘stole’ the show.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the evening:
