I'm in new york for fashion week. No particular plans, just hunting for some genuine inspiration and mind blowing people watching. This is my challenge to all the istas out there, fashion or bloggy or otherwise: bring it. I don't care about your product placements, networking, it this or it that. I want to see you go all out, in full you, and remind me why fashion is more than silhouettes and lots of money. Art and style and personality. Bring. It.

Saskia de Brauw by Mikael Jansson for Vogue Japan September 2011

i love a good game changing editorial. My previous indifference to polka dots and Saskia De Brauw has officially been overcome. I like the way the patterns are slightly warped, perverted, and echoed in challenging ways. Now, i'm almost ashamed of how long it took me to see the power of Saskia's presence and her remarkable beauty.

Tati Cotliar writhes and stops hearts with her glares in this short by Harrison Boyce and Nathaniel Brown. The piece is inspired by "the 'double negative' effect produced by solarizing footage of billowing smoke"(nowness.com) This one part 80's sci fi, one part tatiana the brazilian beauty doing her thing, is a nuanced and beautiful struggle between their visual rhythms and her emotional expression pulsating between and throughout the transitions into and out of light and dark.

Real Life Haute Couture

2011-07-13T14:00:00.000-07:00

(photos by Kasia Bobula)

When I first saw the look book images of the usual givenchy girls by the bridge, I was underwhelmed. There was so much of the last two couture collections here, I intially dismissed it as Tisci recycling. It wasn't until I saw these shots by Kasia Bobula of the actual installation and the details up close in their perfection that I fell in love. Now I see that this is Ricardo refining, letting go of his gimick of oriental birds of paradise or his devotion to the gothic. In this collection he simply poured all into the beuaty and practice of couture. He used the houses Lemarié for feathers and Lesage for broderie. Each pearl was wrapped in organza to contain the sheen placed on fabric so fine it is barely perceptable, even the fabric flowers were hand-picked antiques. Not only is the mastery of couture undeniable, but here all the elements together don't weigh down the dresses but rather create a lightness. For the first time I think Tisci has found his perfection.

The Shoe

2011-07-12T17:00:00.000-07:00

Andre Saraiva's debut short is everything that I had wanted. His co-writer Olivier Zahm, EIC of Purple and everyone's favorite not so old "dirty old French man" is perfectly suited to the film's treatment of Paris. The lead, Leo Fitzpatrick describes their distinct vision perfectly: "that’s kind of how they see life, you know, every girl is attracted to them." The shoe is so effective because its so close to the creators artistic reality. The ingenue is Saraiva's lover, the exquisite Annabelle Dexter Jones, and the character comes as much from the director's life as well as a knowing wink to Fitzpatrick's cinematic start.“The central character is a little as if Leo character in Kids has moved to Paris nearly 15 years later.” Leo's Telly comes out on the skateboard and in his eyes, the young Chole Sevigny somehow present on his skin. This lovely/dirty/charming piece of Paris fits nicely in those J.M Westons.

My first day of Paris Fashion Week: phenomenal.

I got to meet one of my bloggy idols, Yvan Rodic of Face Hunter and had a chat about his green tweed which turned into an interesting analysis of fame and movie stars in the 60's. he is the nicest. Also met a the fabulous David of The Nyanzi Report check him out, he's fab and snapped me out of my shy and i outgoing-it-girled the shit out of place de la concorde. not actually, but i was very proud of my bravery: i talked to models (they are so tall and pretty and have shiny hair.) totally intimidating. i mean, how beautiful is julia's red hair? Also Irina, who put a hair clip on her ear just for kicks. so cool.

Rodarte F/W 2011

I love that the Mulleavy sisters are continuing to explore the clean lines and precision that they started with the last collection in their break from their previous textured layers and sculptural and dark debut collections. The double collar is phenomenal and subversive, restricting and revealing at the same time. In true hipster fashion they took inspiration from the Malick film but also threw in a Wizard of Oz nod since they were already in Kansas. My only objection was the slightly tribal embroidered boots,where were the elaborate Kirkwoods?

Suno F/W 2011

Linda, Jan and Shirley wished their wardrobes were this rockin'. There was a weird asian-sister wife situation in my fam, don't worry about it, I'm alright with the triple gran-attack. And I have been through all of those closets searching out those "dated enough that when worn on my (imaginary) tall skinny youthful frame suddenly appears chic, but in reality frumpy and moth-eaten" pieces -- so disappointing. Good thing Suno took every possible old lady influence and found the perfect proportions, patterns, silks, and created this cohesive polished and modern collection. Also, the styling, impeccable: the coiffed updos, opaque grey tights, matchy jewelry, and distinctly young sky high platforms, phenomenal. Definitely my favorite show thus far.

The Curve of Forgotten Things

2011-02-08T12:20:00.001-08:00

(nowness.com)

When did Elle Fanning suddenly get big enough to wear real people shoes? I was pretty sure that she was just on the edge of age 12. Her big eyes-alice in wonderland-little girl/woman precarious balance thing is throwing me off. This whole piece is gorgeous but unsettling, perfectly echoed by the gorgeous Deerhunter score. This collection was one of my favorites this spring because it was so specific: 70's suburbia, tucked away in the redwoods, mismatched china, smells a little musty, and the light never hits straight on, but comes slanting in glinting here and there. I felt like here it lost its story and became relegated to Elle's little girl lost, not quite relatable, alien girl character's costume. Other than my disappointment over the lack of a dirty chartreuse couch and some townies, i felt the suspended timelessness and the tension of inutility in the phenomenally shot oil fields and her endless twirling twirling into the light and noise.

AdR in navy? yeah, i'm confused too. but i kind of love it. the purple bow tie and the black heels, fabulous. lets see if this creative restraint will carry over into the rest of this fashion month.

Givenchy couture 2011

You know when you eat something so delicious that you think you might die, so you get another huge helping, and then you take a bite, and it could never be nearly as satisfying as the first time, and now you're disappointed and wondering why you couldn't have stopped after the sublime first taste? Last time in this room, for this presentation, with the sheer and the back detail and the feathers and the intricate minutiae, the collection was something groundbreaking. This time around, instead of a garment emerging out of the human body, articulating each vertebra in lace and beading, we get: asian themes! Plastic graphic samurai helmet? Yes the detailing is incredible, yes the use of traditional shapes is interesting, but it really feels like trying to make a sequel out of classic, with a new cast including someone from the disney franchise, and she's singing.

Chanel couture 2011

little girl whites and pinks.

so light and iridescent you can taste the youth.

but don't take the black ribbon off of her neck,

her head will fall off.

the frailty of innocence has never looked so good.

well done sir, well done.

Dior Couture 2011

the haute-iest.

here's to the little girls in their mom's high heels

falling in love with the idea of being that girl in the gown.

each piece feels born of the Dior ideal, alive from its inspiration.

everything glamour dreamed of being but never knew how.

Lindsey Wixson for Opening Ceremony

usually not a fan of the Terry Richardson shot, young girl in red lipstick, vamping it up bit, but Lindsey is so charming i'll allow it this once.
