>>anthony vaccarello<<
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
And steaming jungles of the world,
Either to kill or to be killed,
By creatures never named or heard,
I’m lifting wishes to the stars,
The gleaming satellites of time,
Orbiting circles overhead
To futures when your love is mine,
listen to breathless by dan wilson.
it is just as consuming as anthony vaccarello‘s designs. you can thank me later ♥

>>brilliance of stefan giftthaler ‘une beaute reusse’ + steel + multifaceted crystal + fleeting fairytales + imaginary friends + in a daze + braided leather + somber palette + knots, tangles, chains + watercolor tees that look as if they had been painted by the amaterish hand of a child + a tilted world w/ open ends<<
soooo today started at 3am, my alarm went off, + for about 5 mins i watched the silhouettes patterning against the wall as car lights went by…until eventually those gray scale color-blocks turned into soft borderline appearances at the point of sleep. fast forward to 7am;  oatmeal heaven; then jumped into the pool and did what i was supposed to do yesterday; lie on the bottom with a slab of rock on my stomach, watch the surreal breaking lights + hear nothing. jumped back out, pushed my painting deadlines to next week + resolved to get it done before the end of the month…then burned time by flitting through luisaviaroma, notjustalabel (again), cooperative designs, other ppl’s blogs,  burberry collections dating all the way back to lucky 2008, creatures of comfort, the porter empire, newly discovered stantonjames.com, twitter + raphael young’s head-over-heels heels. then i realized my winter clothes still needed to be bought so i ran all over till my flats wore out…so tomorrow i’m going flat hunting. Lusting for an exact replica. Black w/ a hand-tied bow.
Also, the above photos are click-able. CLICK NOW because now is the time + place to be trigger happy ♥

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.
