F/W 2011 pt.2

Alexander Wang

I was really excited when I saw the Wang livestreamn yesterday. ('Oh My God, this is happening LIKE, NOW!') Until I realised that it actually streamed the day before at like midnight or something, and this was just a replay on loop. I like to call it 'Teen Tragedy'.

Anyway, this show was like, really GREAT. It was just really, really typical Wang, which is a really, really good thing. Case in point; there was loads of black, and a great contrast of textures, and loads of outerwear (it being a fall collection and all...). You will have to see the rest of the show on Style.com. (Look, a handy link, I just wasted my time so that YOU don't have to click and type. Surely the time that everyone who reads this blog will err GAIN from my work means that if you do the math then the money I would be earning that I have lost thanks to my SELFLESSNESS, should be paid back to me by everyone who reads this blog. (i.e no one) and therefore, I can buy Alexander Wang coats!) (Just re read that and it made no sense) as I have only included four pictures. This is because every other show I've reviewed has four pictures and it would feel wrong to disrupt my other friends, I mean pictures... in their humble existence.

Anyway the CLOTHES were also good. This might be because the collection is like Wang s/s 2010 with added sophistication and fur. Holly likey. The only odd looks were the ones at the end, that had like, swirling strips? (pic 4.) That felt a bit wrong to me. Kind of like Jellyfish, but I guessed that could be interepreted as a good thing. Anyway, haven't totally made up my mind about them yet. I loved the shoes, beautifully/ridiculously high, I can't wait for them to pop up on Polyvore so I can waste my time further putting together clothes that I can't have.

Anyway, that was a really 'HEY GUYS/OTHER WORDS LETS LIKE NEVER GET TO THE POINT!' type o' post.

So Fall 2011 Fashion Week has already started, I'm not so sure how it happened so quickly, (Spring 2011 feels like a month ago) all those cool cats (Mum word) in the fashion industry just need to take a deep breath and calm down a little. 

Vena Cava

Vena Cava was pretty great, the prints were spot on and cooperated with the wool textures really well. I really liked the proportions of the skirt-jumper combos and shoes were pretty ok. They also had short skirts but I guess I subconsciously avoided them when making this collage thing on Piknik.

 Steven Alan

Steven Alan was like boring? It just felt like a magazine shoot by some publication like InStyle or a SHOP til you drop 'Weekend' special. The clothes would be really fun to layer though, but the styling in the show didn't really feel special.

Rachel Comey

This show was quite good, there was a big variety of prints some of which I liked. The African one was a bit off but it kind of worked in the outfit? (pic 4.) There was also one that reminded me of clouds and feathers, but in a kind of harsh way? It didn't really look soft but maybe that was the point? I don't know. Also what was with the hair? Someone trying to be 'edgy' by doing a mullet? The last picture is amusing me by looking like a toupee.

Peter Som

Peter Som was pretty Ok, there were feathers and sequins and other 'luxurious' materials but it was put together in quite a casual way. Which I kind of liked. This show wasn't my favourite that he has done but it was still pretty effective.

Anyway back to my real life, back to reality.

At the moment I'm doing an assignment at school on wearable art and the environment. So now as you have probs guessed everyone has to make a 'piece of art' that is also wearable and has stuff to do with the environment. Oh and we have to show it at the school fashion parade. OH School that is soo like you.

Consumerism is ma thang so I'm doing that as a subject. I also rediscovered the ed. 'Organised Robots' by Steven Miesel. Something I'm kind of obsessed with at the moment. Which made me want to work that in somehow. HOW is the key word here.

Anyway this is my moodboard for my piece, because you're all so interested in my school project.

Some picture from an etsy store I forget, unknown, Alexander McQueen S/S 2011, Organised Robots by Steven Miesel, Comme des Garcons f/w 2009, Organised Robots by Steven Miesel, Diane Arbus, unknown, The Sound of Music, Diane Arbus, Man Ray, and I think this was from Style.com.
