    RODARTE – FALL 2014

    A collection based on nostalgic fantasy and how your view on things when younger effects the present view on how you see beauty today. The collection had a nerdy chic and fantasy theme. Long gowns and glasses. Starwars prints featured on pieces stamp a nostalgic look back at pop culture and glamour. source:

    ZAC POSEN FALL-WINTER 2014

    “For Fall 2014, Zac Posen combines the art of old-world dressmaking with the precision of tailoring to create a collection that celebrates a woman’s natural form and gives her access to her most alluring and empowered self. “I imagined a collection as photographed by Cecil Beaton in my New York atelier. I had a notion to bring the richness and emotion of beautifully-made pieces into the here and now. It is no secret that I have always been a devoted student of fashion history and the great couturiers. With this collection, in particular, I focused intently on how and where the clothes used to be made, and I let myself…

    THOM BROWNE AW14

    Like walking into a 50’s funeral scene from the original Twilight Zone.  The theme had  strong catholic inspirations from the crosses, veils and priest boys? The clothing itself had volume and flairs of luxurious mourning. The models walked slow with somber with their neutral pallet with the occasional shimmering gold gown. The style wrapped the whole collection up and made it a clear story, fright white hair vintage styled with pillbox hats and veils. Overall beautiful collection. Many classic and luxurious separates. It all leaves you haunted. source:

    Alexander McQueen | Spring/Summer 2014 | Backstage Film

    “Faded fabrics that feel they have been left out in the sun and tarnished gold buttons. Hems, lapels and sleeves are unfinished and frayed. The internal structure of suiting is removed to give lightness. The sleeves of a frock coat have been ripped away with seams and shoulder padding left exposed. The silk lining of the suit jacket is introduced as a button-down robe or cardigan, layered over collarless bib shirts and exposed from the sleeves and hem of suit jackets. Worn with pleated loose, long shorts or trousers cropped above the ankle. The iconic McQueen skull motif is reworked into a cotton lace. The lace is adapted as a…

    Morrissey Provides an Angry Letter about the Royal Family

    The main topic concerning the royal family and their hunting, He writes: “One day prior to giving a public plea on behalf of animal welfare (!), Prince William is to be found in Spain (with Prince Harry) shooting and killing as many deer and boar as they possibly can! Although William’s speech (no doubt written by his publicity aides at Clarence House) will concentrate on endangered species, William is too thick wit to realize that animals such as tigers and rhino are only driven to near extinction because people who are precisely like himself and his brother have shot them off the map – all in the name of sport…
