so i’ve been obsessed with the song ‘black and gold’ by sam sparro, then my sister sent me this other link before i could dump the mr sparro song into my overplayed list. the song is called breathless, here are the first 2 lyrics: I’m hunting shadows in the dark I’m lifting wishes to the stars, listen to breathless by dan wilson. it is just as consuming as anthony vaccarello‘s designs. you can thank me later ♥ xxx
>>helen rodel’s rabbit head gear + soft merino wool + Brazilian Concretism inspired design + burgundy colored strings + hand knits + HOWITZWEISSBACH + mix matched silk, leather, loden & wool + bauhaus + thankfully accidental masterpieces + cooperative design + nuances of childhood + not just a label<< Currently listening to imogen heap (‘speak for yourself’ album) and thinking that the above clothes radiate that surreal/wistul mood in her songs. xxx + that louboutin post is going to have to wait. >>fringed + gap-toothed abbey lee kershaw + drastic cuts + overpowering shoulders + verticals + XXL + waisted mentality +  hedi slimane photography +  ann demeulemeester + maison martin margiela + balman<< i’ve had this Black fixation lately…abbey lee expressed it beautifully.  Heading SKIN DEEP, the august issue of vogue china 2010 in minimalist ann demeulemeester, maison martin margiela+ balman silhouettes, abbey lee blows these outfits into a wearable dimension  that consumers can connect to.  Cruising through the fall season, abbey lee drops anchor at vogue nippon, vogue germany, the short-fringe-and-bob parlour, the 80′s themed moussy f/w campaign, sydney airport with her rocker bf matthew hutchinson, as well as jaeger,  h&m divided,  anna sui + the adorable tea-partying mulberry photo shoots. xxx >>primal instincts + revolution + silver + graphite + coal + unspoken rhetorics + loose limbs + elastic thorns, layered and knotted to sharp points + snakes ribs + coyote spine + curtain-worthy fringes + cos’ brilliance + glassy surfaces + jaded flashbacks + ballpen etches + a heightened sense of a bigger greater something << Amore; deformed + fallen chandelier; graphite and coal-casted skulls; liquid-like symmetries composed of ball pen lines; contorted silhouettes of trees stretching beyond the canvas; and the mirror picket-fence smashed, reflecting the ‘dream ’ right back at you. These incredible artworks belong to my friend costantino zicarelli. He’s half-filipino + half-italian, though resides in the Philippines. His fixation on morbid taboo themes came to the fore as I scoured through ‘NOT JUST A LABEL’ and encountered fashion items such as ‘The Nowhere Tank Top’ by aoi kotsuhiroi, spinal jewelry crafted with real coyote + snake bones dipped in sterling silver by ayaka nishi, as well as the ‘BLACK AS BLACK’ headpieces of savannah wyatt inspired by “various things such as flappers, warriors and Jesus’ crown of thorns.† ‘NOT JUST A LABEL’ offered a Ton of avant-garde limited pieces but I didn’t appreciate any of them as much as these select few pieces. You should click on the underlined links to discover MORE… xxx ps. ‘NOT JUST A LABEL’ may not be as developed as net-a-porter, but it head-butt’s the porter empire on my bookmarks list.
Looking through iris van herpen’s 10 piece collection i realized that I hadn’t seen anything so awe-inspiring + almost drool-worthy since mary katrantzou broke into the fashion industry…and that was quite a while ago. Unsurprisingly, the 26-year old has worked with behemoths of the fashion industry; victor and rolf + the late alexander mcqueen. However, her work not only emanates nuances of the latter, but also that of sandra backlund and ann demeulemeester. They’ve got that whole multiplying factor going on…the repetitive detailing and structure is such that you get lost in your own little sphere of thought. The above photos are part of her ‘crystallization’ collection.  It is overwhelming + all synonyms of that word itself, and therefore something I could stare at on a daily basis. Absolut delicious. And like her previous collections (synesthesia aw10-11/ radiation invation/mummification/refinery smoke/chemical crows/ fragile futurity), ‘crystallization’ manipulates/contradicts the body’s contours, coats it in a seamless armor of peek-a-boo lines, and compels her audience to wonder at the time, craft, and effort that went into these one piece creations. There are no duplicates. Depressing. But her shoe supplier for this and earlier collections, Rem D Koolhaas, creative director of United Nude will be releasing 240 of the kid leather boots, 168 in black and 72 in ivory; previewed in her synesthesia aw10-11 collection…Would the kind souls out there please come forward? kidding. Anyways, I was just searching up on iris and found out that she: (1.) came from ArtEZ Art Academy, and (2.) is presently working on costumes for Giacomo Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly.†It’s premiering on the 5th Sept at the Osnabrück Theater. I cannot actually wait to see what elements she welds together for this. psssssstttt: Iris van Herpen/United Nude ankle boots will soon be available from exclusive retailers and United Nude concept stores in Amsterdam, New York, Shanghai and Vienna. stay posted. xxx |
