Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 RTW

No words necessary.  Though I will say this: I thought architectural shoes may have reached their limit, and I am once again proven wrong.  Bravo.

All hail tribal babes, racy monarchs, dominatrix robots and vampy figure [...]

Sandra Backlund: Architectural Knits

Just really quickly, I must show you these knit sweater separates.  They’re more interesting than any outfit photo I could post–and look rather desirable given the weather, or regardless!  Seriously.  Who would not want one of these?

From the current Sandra Backlund collection.  Wow. [...]

Explosions & Missing Pieces

Whoa.

Think what you will about Viktor & Rolf’s Spring 2010 RTW collection–but it pretty much sums up everything I feel lately.

THANK YOU, fashion gods, for providing visuals for the unruly state of my psyche.  Now I can actually see the emotional trauma.  Who knew it could be so colorful.  It’s kind of soothing, actually.

…and that explains that. [...]

Anna Zwick: Cumulus Couture

Winter is closing in (and may I say how thrilled I am for knits and layers)!  So when I found this marvelous new line of knitwear by Anna Zwick, I had to share her voluptuous pastels–what seem to be evocations of cotton candy, clouds, air, and baby blankets.  These pieces have fantastic volume, shape [...]

Toybox Tuesday (August 18, 2009)

Lots of fashion links this week–I won’t lie, I’m in a shopping kind of mood, and nothing else.  The hard-edge glamor of the 80s is something I’ve always admired, and it’s coming on strong right now–but with feminine cuts, modern shapes, and some retro influences mixed in.  Here’s what’s inspiring my wardrobe right now:

Feature Friday - Tongue-in-Chic

“Oh, cute!  What pretty embroidery.”  Pause.  “Wait…I’m sorry.  What does that say?”  You smile sweetly, and await one of the following: a) a horrified look, or b) laughter, and “Where did you get that shirt?!”

Of course, I’m talking about Locher’s of Paris.

Those of you who followed an older blog of mine may remember a similar [...]

Wardrobe Wednesday - Unobtainable Shoes

I’ve recently stumbled across two shoe retailers that I just LOVE–more than I could ever describe.  Perfect shoes, affordable prices, consistent aesthetic.  The catch?  Neither merchant ships its shoes to North America.   I wanted you to feel my pain.

I won’t whine about it anymore, since [...]
