If you’re lucky (or were determined) enough to have gotten your hands on the sleek iPad, then you might want to keep your pretty e-slate all wrapped up and safe against the elements. For that purpose, we’re particularly digging Dunhill’s interesting interpretation of an iPad cover, designed to look like a letter or parcel in a vintage-hued cream addressed to Alfred Dunhill. We’re thinking it’s going to look real dapper tucked right under your arm. It’s part of their S/S’11 collection so it won’t be available anytime soon, but meanwhile, perhaps you would like to make sure you own one of those machines first.

Boasting collections as fun and bright as her personality, and pieces as colourful as they are whimsical, it’s hard to miss out on a girl (and label) like Yovia Jogia. Currently a Fashion Communication undergraduate at LaSalle, Yovia busies herself with the occasional styling job and being part of LVMH Visual merchandising team, while also lining up sharp menswear statements for her eponymous label. We got her talking.

What sparked off your interest in fashion?
I can’t think of any better way to express myself other than through fashion. I hope to bring this emotion to everybody through my designs.

Describe YOVIAJOGIA in three words.
Strong, spontaneous and quirky.

Do you have any inspirations that remain constant?
Inspirations come and go. If a particular idea comes, it has to be strong enough to sustain my process of documentation and development.

Why menswear?
I personally find menswear a lot more interesting as compared to women’s. I get to play around with volume, shapes and also inject a tinge of femininity in my collection. But though I designed them specifically for men, my clothes are versatile enough to be styled on females.
