Here are my two favorite lines from NY Fashion Week. No one else found these two to be that exciting, which means one of the following:
- I have bad taste.
- These lines are too weird.
- These lines are too safe.
- ...once again, I have bad taste.
I'm such a huge fan of Kirsten Dunst, and I really thought she's such a fitting child for Boy by Band of Outsiders. This line is rather safe and maybe a bit too wearable. But there's really nothing I love more than menswear on women. Pantsuits, shortsuits, ties, blazers, bowties... I really love the dress in the middle. It looks so soft and comfy and so femme fatale at the same time.
I'm always a huge, huge, HUGE fan of Yohji Yamamoto's anything. The man has a touch of brilliance that simply cannot be duplicated. I mean, who would have ever thought that sporty flapper was ever possible (far left)? Everything he makes for Y-3 has the potential to work from the office to a walk in the park with the dogs. I love the whimsical white skirt in the center and those little hats are TOO MUCH!
Haha, you do not have bad taste!! I liked Boy by Band of Outsider's stuff because of it's menswear influences, very cute! And Y-3 was okay to me, but I have to agree about the Yohji thing, he rules.
ReplyDeleteOh and I read somewhere that Sarah Palin was trying to (or did?) ban James and the Giant Peach from Alaska. Along with a bunch of other books like A Wrinkle in Time and The Color Purple! WTF? *Sorry if you like her! :)
ReplyDeletei liked y-3! i liked boy by band of outsiders for like a day because it was like the 2nd or 3rd day of ny fashion week and then when i saw everything else i was like ugh?! mediocre. but, i loved y-3. =)
ReplyDeleteWow, I did not know about some of those things you wrote about Palin, like the dinosaur thing. Geez. But you can rant to me anytime, I like hearing some passion! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Yohji, he is a 'visionary', if I may sling that term in. I loved the Y-3 collection, a perfect blend of catwalk and street fashion. And even if the Boy by Band of Outsiders is 'too wearable', it just works, I really like the collection :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of Kiki too <3
ReplyDeleteAnd i was so pleased to see her model the collection. You're right, it is completely wearable (which is prolly why i liked it so much haha). But the blazers + shorts combi, makes me want to try it out and wear sucha get-up when i go meet my clients.
You reckon they'd freak out? shorts!
