Slow Clothes

Sustainability activity represented through architecture











I don't believe it!!!! Seriously, wow.... My project is selected by Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab VEIL to be published and exhibited. This is seriously too overwhelming for me.

I was so excited when i saw the Ponyo Exhibition right outside Xinyi District Shin Kong Mitsukoshi. They even had Ponyo stamps for people to stamp into their diaries or etc. Though the movie was a disappointment in my option but the character is still kinda cute! Ha... Just some silly pictures to share
