ditto

I like these all in moments, where I can either see myself in them and also feel fantastically estranged from them—either because they’re too expensive or because I couldn’t possibly find a time/place to wear the garment. So I can dream about a world or a time and place where the fantastic is possible. I find just looking at clothes and images very inspiring.

that's what he said...

"I don’t find clothes sexy at all.

I find people sexy, and I find personalities fascinating and sexy and appealing and charming. So a sexy girl wrapped in a sheet is a sexy girl, and an un-sexy girl in a low-cut dress is still an un-sexy girl."

tsumori chisato. fall 2010. circus.

every piece is a work of art. from head to stocking to shoe, it's less about uniformity, more about brilliant variation on a theme.

that being said, would you really wear that?

i would.

because where there is so much black and tendency for a drabulous fall, and a trend-driven show, tsumori has flipped that concept into a whirl of whimsy, color, and stimulus. and proves that fall doesn't have to be so serious.

so fab.

some dries, please

i kinda love dries.

it's not particularly my personal style, but i've recently been able to appreciate his relaxed Refinement and Ease of dressing woman. there is something about the simple presence of his clothes, his own presence, and the colors and cut and overall elegant aesthetic that makes his show so enjoyable.

or maybe it's just the way the models are walking....nay, strolling...infused with...well, u know. it's just relatable right now.

burberry prorsum, fall 2010

as i've been working late nites, it's more than a refresher just to sit back at home and do...nothing.

i definitely enjoy being home more than i ever have...if you asked me a couple of years ago to stay home i would never indulge the idea.  but now...it's just so peaceful to look out the living room windows, hear the jmz train pass by, stare at the fluff balls of snow drift by and sip some wine.  whether it be watching a horror film, comedy, listening to roommate creatives, or just eating some pupusas from my new favorite local salvadorean restaurant, it's quite pleasurable just to be in the warm ember of home. with my new favorite roommates (a sweet and special relationship, the roommate thing.)

in other news...the new fashion drools du saison, in my blogosphere, are:

- military green

- burberry prorsum fall 2010....all of it

- a bit of fur...or a lot

- snow-blown hair...tousled and effortless. a bit long...

- structure, sculpture, proportion

in ironic news....i attended the phillip lim men's show after party...despite the velvet rope, some dear friends granted me vip access and much love that i would never have imagined.  and the irony? i couldn't get in his parties back in the day when i was part of his design team.

at times like those, it's totally about who you know.

*poof*

tonite was thakoon's fashion show....fall 2010. 

lots of fur...lots of models....lots of ruffles.

a sea of black..a sea of fashion faces of whom i've always read about but never saw in person. until tonite.

standing room wasn't that bad...it was like getting a seat.

and i saw anna wintour...grace coddington...the Sartorialist....bergdorf buyers....celebrities...susie bubble...

and it was all over in a flash of twenty minutes.

one month of late nites...life dedicated to Fashion...culminating in all of a few minutes and a wine and cheese dinner at otto.

c'est. la. grande. vie.
