Finally something has brought me out of my fashion coma. And it's no surprise it's Viktor & Rolf. I can't even put how I feel about the new collection into words. That's how amazing it is. Throw in a performance by my favorite artist, Róisín Murphy, and you've got a perfect show.
Way back in January, I posted about one of my muses, photographer/model Elle Muliarchyk. These are her series of self-portraits in collaboration with designer Bella Freud. If you get a chance, watch the short video at the end of the post to hear about the inspiration for the shoots and the dangers Elle encountered while shooting...
Just for fun, let's pretend I had an unlimited budget and access to all these amazing clothes. This would be my ideal, perfect outfit. Especially the Vivienne Westwood rocking horse boots, I've wanted those for forever.
Just thought I'd share one of my all-time favorite songs with everyone. It's the epic Extended Mix of "Yes Sir" by Goldfrapp. This song has everything I love... it may be a cover, but Alison Goldfrapp turns it into an electro-glam disco gem worthy of Studio 54. This version was only available on the very limited edition Yes Sir vinyl. So... you're welcome. Yes Sir (Extended Mix) // Goldfrapp
Last night I had a remarkably detailed dream about a fur coat. It was brown, with a large zipper closure down the front of it. The collar, sleeves, and hem were all embellished with hundreds on tiny, shiny silver spikes that moved and glimmered as it went down the runway. I made a quick sketch of it, as accurately as I could. Click on it for a larger view.
I must have subconsciously been thinking about Gareth Pugh's Fall 2009 Menswear Collection. Many of the clothes were embellished with spikes. Kind of scary, yet very glam.
