Masculine Rose
30 January 2014
New Year Eve!!! I love this outfit I concocted, a side slit with red leather pants. It might not looks like leather but in my mind it is leather.
This outfit is based the prior outfit. Using the same hue and the rose emblem, I put it on the side to give it cohesiveness and masculinity
Enjoy.

Birth of a Phoenix
29 January 2014
Two posts in one day, I gotta keep up before Lunar New Year is here. I have a few more to post, hope I can get in done on time.
Let's hear it for male drawing, YAY!!! I love doing them once in a while, but when I get to the shoes, it looks funky. I don't know what to do.
This is the male version from the post earlier today. Men's ao dai are similar to the women's but it's more loose fitting and acts as a jacket rather than a shirt. I didn't want to draw a full phoenix on his shirt, that would just emasculate it. So instead I abstracted it and gave it a few swirls of fire.
Enjoy.

From The Ashes
So close to Tet, I can feel it in the air. Today I have a more traditional piece completed with a head piece, I like to think of it as a crown, but not sure what to called it in English.
Like many ao dai, the textile is considered a canvas for multiple designs, it can have scenery, landscape, patterns, and much more. Here I have a more traditional phoenix to go with the Xuan theme.
Enjoy.
