MIMIPONG

The collection titled “Sur la Plage” or “At the Beach” consist of amazingly intricate beach wear all painstakingly hand cut and crafted from paper. The irony doesn’t bother designer Bea Szenfeld whom despite picking inspirations from the beach knows her collection would never go anywhere near the water. The choice of paper over fabric was used to brings out a different expression to her creation. Besides being very much in love with her collection, I am as well with her choice of model… so beautifully stained with freckles!

is Mimipong’s first fully sponsored showcase and is organised by the fine folks of Little Thing magazine. Being flown down to a foreign city, put up in a hotel to attend a show that started out as (and still is) a hobby is a nice feeling… and a big pat on the back . It makes all the sleepless nights, mad rush and moments of sheer panic a tad more worthwhile.

A little treasure trove of an office containing the processes behind the creation of Little Thing magazine:
An art, craft and lifestyle magazine situated in Shen Zhen, China.

Meet Timmy

and Jason

Parthers at work, in life and founders of the magazine. Timmy hails from 四川 (Si Chuan province) and Jason 西安( Xi ‘an). As Shen Zhen is an immigrant city, everyone’s hometown dots across China so even a cosy company like Little Thing is a melting pot of chinese cultures.

Pretty props lined up everywhere.
