Weather Whoas
The wind outside is howling. The girl inside is scowling. Don’t fret, darling. Something is afoot. The autumn leaves are charming and quite simply put, Nothing brings out the inner glamour girl, like the right little boot. Image: Vogue.com.
Anouck Anew
It was so nice to see Anouck on the cover of a magazine… Models on mag covers – imagine that! Image: TFS.
Dotting Your Eyes
No, your eyes are not dotted. In Oz, actual summer was spotted. Its breeze…its pure ease. Whist we sit cross, in our tweeds. What a tease! Image: MaxXone
Déjà Vu: Why
Many things in fashion, we often just accept as what they are. The when, we place as the current moment in which we saw something, or perhaps relate it to a time in the past when a similar trend existed. The who, is the creator of the garment. The how, is the fabric, the technique. [...]
Fashion’s Icon Status
Much has been made recently of whether fashion can be construed as art. The true answer is within your own eyes, my dears. The eyes don’t disguise the heart’s sentiments. Does your heart ask the same question or does it just react to what it is taking in? While we are having a heart to [...]
Sea of Ideas
If you ever doubted the impact of Alexander McQueen’s SS10 Plato’s Atlantis collection, you can sea it for yourself in the works of these designers. His influence, like a body of water, ran down stream at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, surfacing over the last couple of days. Not that they were the first this season [...]
Distinguished
Rajesh Pratap Singh is one of the great voices in Indian fashion today. He showed a refined and classy collection for SS12 at WLIFW yesterday - his women were modern, chic and understated. As always with RPS, there isn’t a whole lot of fuss – you just look pulled together in his clothes – without the [...]
WLIFW Day One: Win-Win
Everyone thinks Fashion Month is over. That depends on what side of the world you live on. The Spring/Summer 2012 collections continue on the Indian subcontinent, with Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in New Delhi, running until October 12th. Here’s a preview of what Spring looks like in the Motherland. (Keep in mind that the other India [...]
Seasonal Adjustments
Why is it, that just after you’ve put away your linen shirts and strappy sandals, swapping them out for tweeds and boots – that the weather warms right back up? Guess I’ll have to go shopping – it might be easier than digging through boxes. This Pre-Fall 2011 DKNY striped frock is perfect, no? And [...]
Lost Souls
We have loved. We have lost. We have been given much. We will not forget. The ideas of two of the world’s greatest creators live on… Inspiration. Better than any product they could have left behind. Thank you, Lee. Thank you, Steve. Images: courtesy of Alexander McQueen and Jonathan Mak.
Paperbag Princess
The paperbag pant is back! I love a high waist. I love a peg leg. I love a boot, to suit. (Not to mention the colour combination and the contrast of the charcoal wool with the shiny black leather.) Image: Elle.com.
Ethereality
e·the·re·al (-thîr-l) adj. 1. Characterized by lightness and insubstantiality; intangible. 2. Highly refined; delicate. 3. Of the celestial spheres; heavenly. 4. Not of this world; spiritual. Comme des Garçons for SS12 was ethereal. Words seem futile to describe these creations. All photographs by Yannis Vlamos/GoRunway.com via Vogue.com.
Déjà Vu: Lumberjackets
Burberry checks? Check. Lumberjack track? Check. Expressionist impressions? Check. See other posts on Fashion and Art. See more Otto Dix. See more Burberry. Top two images courtesy of Burberry. Otto Dix image courtesy of Wikipedia.
Four Sure
I can’t believe Vogue India has been in my life for four years now. It’s always been my fix, for the feast of the East, mixed with the best of the West – and the constant dance between the two. I thought their anniversary cover exemplified that crossover lust, perfectly. Isabeli Fontana and Ranbir Kapoor [...]
