Fashion is lovely
Naughty Bows, Nice Bows
What are we going to do with all these bows? Flowers, ruffles, lace… as Susie Bubble likes to put it Lulasim. While it’s lovely to see soft-focus pictures of young women with the sunlight hitting their long hair just-so, I seriously can’t go anywhere near this kind of girlie affliction unless there’s something more sinister [...]
Lookie Lookie
Who says youth is wasted on the young? Today’s young guns seem to be quick with the camera and looking very, very stylish. Or so it seems on Lookbook.nu a new ‘what are you wearing?’ online community. Though, I’m a long-time wardrobe_remixer, (flickr is just so easy), there are several of these communities, like I [...]
Intimately Social
Fashion is often confusing. A notoriously shallow discipline, like all others at it’s best it’s stunning, and at it’s worst, well, it’s stunning. Clothing oneself, is often a very personal ritual. Each day, each person puts on their clothes ‘one pant leg at a time’, and yet when it comes to fashion, it’s a world [...]
Utility Chic
Wood shop attire just keeps getting better and better. From Devo’s classic performing jumpsuits, the standard base of most men’s Halloween costumes, to the beautiful Punky B, utilitarian worksuits, better known as jumpsuits or coveralls are popping back up on the radar again. Perhaps it’s the return of the [...]
Put Your Head on My Shoulder (Pad)
The last few days of my life, I’ve devoted to hats. It all started from my shoppe, which I kept finding pieces with these shoulder pads. The scale-like form of shoulder pads are beautiful, but I didn’t know what to do with them… so they just lived in a plastic bag. I’m not a milliner, [...]
Airbags Wanted
Of all the beautiful gemstones of the world, none is more precious than air… and without it, we perish. I’ve always been fascinated by the ways of which air inspires, from Rodarte’s floaty, cloud-like dresses, to balloons. Inspired by balloons, Réka Lorincz created these lovely pieces out of biodegradable plastic for stage performances… but you [...]
Priestess, Divinely Human
Quirky-cool is probably the most honest of the varieties of cool. As everyone is known to have quirks, embellishing it is divinely human. Priestess NYC, designed by Cody Ross, is an street wear label ‘about elegant street mix — the nuanced way in which young women blend edgy and chic, organics and synthetics and [...]
Push Play 4 Me
In Paris, a city where effortless chic rules the streets, it’s nice to see a little pink boutique that specializes in playful jewels and accessories. 4 Me by Julie Bernandin, creates her own world mixing chains and semi-precious stones with vintage toys.
‘Her very personal universe is translated by a wide range of jewels corresponding to [...]
Return of The Bicycle Short?
In the time I’ve been paying attention to fashion, I’ve noticed one thing, one must not ignore Prada. Last year people were going on about how ugly fringe handbags were, and it’s taken a while to warm up, and this summer, fringe handbags are in a word, covetable. When I came across, Prada’s Resort 09 [...]
Like Clockwork…
Going into a new century is a lot of work. You have the new technology, the new social order, fashion changes. Then there is the music, and it’s never going to be as good as it used to be. Sort of, well after all, where would we be without the new iPhone? It’s always interesting [...]
