I’m obsessed with the Balenciaga Fall Winter 2010 Shoes. The fact that they are clunky as all hell and don’t look fun to wear isn’t stopping me. The style.com photos look so clinical. I like these shots from Dazed Digital and Purple Magazine. They have a more “real life” feel. images: purple-diary.com, dazeddigital.com
I wasn’t able to see the Quicktake: Rodarte exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum that went from February 11, 2010 through March 14, 2010 in New York City. There is video! 1st is a short clip of the about the exhibit and a longer interview clip with Laura Mulleavy. Quicktake: Rodarte Rodarte in Conversation with Sally Singer You know what, I’m tossing in the Rodarte x Maggie Chung clip too.
The shoes for the Lanvin Fall Winter 2010 are perfect urban warrior accessories. Check out that curved heel. I said the Lanvin fall 2010 jewellery reminded me of Klingons but I don’t get that vibe from the shoes. Lanvin Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 video. images: style.com, eastnews.ru

I found the full show video for the Balenciaga Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2010 collection. The soundtrack is killer. This video is great for providing all the angles of the models so you can see the back details. The clothing has so much more depth with video. The construction is a lot clearer. There is a lot going on in the fall winter 2010 collection. Dazed Digital got a closer look at the collection. They have some great photos of the all the details. I also like the shots from Purple Magazine. images: style.com
I found the Lanvin Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2010 video. I’ve now dubbed this the “Klingon Warrior” collection. Read the Klingon backstory here. images: style.com
The shoes from the Miu Miu Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection are like nothing I’ve seen before. I’m not sure what to make of the spats they have going on. Are they part of the shoe? I see that they are have Velcro and are removable. I think I prefer the shoes without the spats. These shoes are a little bizarre and I can’t see myself wearing them. What are your thoughts? images:style.com
I love the jewellery in the Lanvin Ready to Wear – Fall Winter 2010 – 2011 collection. My first thought was Klingons. For some reason the Lanvin fall winter 2010 jewellery gives me a Klingon’s vibe. It seems to fit the warrior theme. I couldn’t get it out of my head so I asked The Grumpy Owl. He agreed and and sent me a picture of Gowron. Now I don’t feel that crazy. images: style.com and timelinestudio.com
I battle the crowds and complete silliness of attending a Joe Fresh show for one reason. Models. It’s not for the clothing in any way shape or form. This season Joe brought in Crystal Renn and Kirsten Owen. I had to see Crystal Renn with my own eyes as I’ve had suspicion about this “plus size” label she has been given. You know what people, it’s all bullshit. Crystal Renn is a far cry from plus sized. People who seem to think that this is a win for the average sized women seem to forget that Crystal Renn is anything but average. This girl is a model the last time I checked. She’s 5’10 and has all the features that required. She’s on the edges of that bell curve and that is the complete opposite of your average person. She is gorgeous and has great hair. Joe Fresh jumped on the fur bandwagon hard. Of course a lot was faux. I thought everything was faux but the line sheet is telling me differently. I really …
The Olympus PEN died just before the Pink Tartan Fall Winter 2010 fashion show. I have no pictures and I wasn’t happy. Just another headache to deal with on Wednesday which was painful. Battling crowds and terrible entrance points into the runway room has a way of turning one into a bitch very quickly. I remembered how I spent the Spring 2010 Pink Tartan show, drinking a Peroni in the VIP area watching the show on the LG tvs. I wished for a return to those simple days. The show opened with an electric Violinist. I really don’t know what he had to do with the collection. The theme of the Pink Tartan show is aviation. The models wore aviator style hats. Winged shoes and harnesses made of fur and feathers evoked winged gods like Icarus or Mercury. There were bomber jackets of the puffy variety and ones made of leather and trimmed with fur or Mongolian fur. Shapes were generally body conscious with legging like pants and dresses. Some dresses broke from their body …
