Brown Baggin’ It
SwanDiamondRose is one of those designers I noticed very early on in my blogging venture. Maybe two months in, I posted about her dresses, and she kindly replied ‘thank you’. I know it’s really a small thing, but to me it was huge, it was just enough encourage a small blogger posting endlessly into the [...]
Cutting Edges : An Interview with Alithia Spuri-Zampetti
Central St. Martins is one of those colleges that just continuously produce fashion royalty, making their graduate shows a wonderful place to catch a glimpse into the future of fashion. Recent graduate and winner of the 2008 L’Oréal Professionnel Award, and first place for the ITS7 award, Alithia Spuri-Zampetti dazzles us with graphic patterns leaping [...]
Any Color You Want (As long as it’s Noire)
Just because it’s black, doesn’t make it stylish or classic. Black helps, but it’s really just a color (or lack thereof). To work, a piece needs an interesting structure or silhouette, which is what Bucharest based designer Party Noire focuses on. I really love how the silhouettes are highlighted in this achromatic collection.
Pretty: More Classic than Black
Pretty never goes out of style. Fashion is just one of the many tools women use to feel pretty. If there was a Fashion Manifesto, pretty could well be written as one of the main points. It’s safe to say that the recent obsessions with pretty flowers, ruffles and lace is more a renaissance of [...]
It’s Melting
I don’t know about you, but around August, I start itching for Autumn. Perhaps since yesterday, the primary school across the street started the new ’school year’ I’m partially envious that they get to a. read big, pretty picture books b. play outside for recess and c. wear their ‘back to school’ clothes. But quite [...]
Into the Light : Rhyme & Reason
Many moons ago, I was the “Glinda, the Good Witch of the North” for Halloween. The costume consisted of a tiara, wand, a blonde wig and a puffy pink prom dress with silk flowers I had wired with LED lights. It was by far one of the most creative costumes I’ve come up with. [...]
Cozy up in tentacles & baubles
Many months ago, I was visiting Harputs Market, and saw this lovely collar of knitted bobbles. I instantly wrote down the name on a piece of paper, and almost immediately lost it. For months, it was driving me crazy… I know the name was a A-H but it couldn’t have been Anya Hindmarch. Well, I [...]
Scherer Gonzalez: The Delicate Balance
When I first cam across Scherer Gonzalez from the likes of F&Art and Style Bubble, and was truly quite taken by the costume-like bobble-y butts of and abstract boning Scherer Gonzalez. Part Wicked Queen, part cyber punk, and pure imagination is most captivating about them. In fact, it was the biggest reason as to why [...]
Oil Spill
When you’re an inherently messy person, the idea of integrating spills into the design of your clothing almost seems like it’s too good to be true. Like the keys that never get lost or the lipstick that never fades, the paradoxical work of Seelenkleid combines the floaty perfection of ideal beauty with the embellishments of [...]
c.neeon
c.neeon is one of those designers that really develop their own language, designing unusual graphic-oriented prints, “the future is now” street-style cuts, it’s all about doing things the c.neeon way. Individuality is definitely a virtue to be cherished and many of the locals do truly love c.neeon, as it’s quite the cult classic in Germany. [...]
