MERRY---ERM......Aaahhh fuck it!

I had sincerely tried my best to feel the xmas spirit this year, and to my utter disappointment I failed- once more, very horribly... possibly along with the rest of England, it's gotten to the point where even shopping centres haven't even made the effort to decorate. As society recedes and grows darker - England just loses it's spirit and cheer for things which used to - and generally should make us happy! As inwardly bitter as I usually am I must say where has all the christmas magic gone?? What was it about christmas that kept me up 'til stupid hours in the morning but still got me up bright and early that same morning? New Years will surely get me back on track and motivate me to get through another looong year!

ANYWAY! In an attempt to cheer myself up I reconnected with one of my first fashion loves and that was Jeremy Scott (WHY... my brain kept telling me Jeremy Kyle is completely beyond me). With the exception of that AWFUL menswear I felt a love similar to when you've just recovered an item which used to be your most favourite thing in the world, Jeremy Scott was those glittery heeled shoes I used to love as a kid (Emphasis on the word 'USED' considering they completely demolished my feet in the end). Having looked through his SS "11 RTW Collection I can give my judgmental but SURPRISINGLY approving nod, this collection evokes trash, sex with a a subtle lack of sanity it would appear! I like how Scott combines looks from the era of punks, rebellion, self inflicted pain and the 80s in general and then creates firm transitions between each outlook of the period. Yummm! Here are some of my favourites (Combined into one compact photo for your viewing pleasure! ) :

I was looking through Gile Deacon's SS '11 rtw collection when my attention was immediately drawn to model- Rose Cordero I don't know why I find myself in this situation but whenever I'm interested in someone's face/look I just stare... and stare... and stare , I can safely say I must of been staring at this girl's picture for a good 10 to 15 minutes, I think she is absolutely stunning! It's strange but I'm completely ecstatic at the fact that I can't put my finger on what attracts my eyes to her. There's definitely something so captivating about her appearance - particularly her face! It just seems to have a natural charm and androgyny about it which is pretty outstanding compared to the other models I've seen in her 'category' I suppose I could call it. Some of you- again may not understand my infatuation with this young lady, but to find something this rare and with this much potential is just great! I've also been reading that she is one of the first black models to be signed with Supreme models for a while - that's something! So far I've seen her in designs by Alexander Wang and Louis Vuitton so it would appear that this Dominican beauty has been doing pretty well for herself since the launch of her international career. I wish her the best of luck she's beautiful and from an interview I read with her she seems like a humble and well grounded human being! I picked this quote from the interview, which was with a magazine called Estilo (someone from a blog had kindly translated for all of us non-bilinguals), it sort of inspired me to have this sort of attitude regardless of the situation my life faces! With that said I will leave you to enjoy some of the art she's helped to create so far:

How to Sølve a problem

My head hasn't been in the best of places as of late so I decided to look at some of the work from one of my favourite photographers Sølve Sundsbø! I first found this Norwegian wonder's work when I came across an Editorial shoot he'd done for either Dazed and Confused or i-D, I'm a sucker for the the extra ordinary so of course I went to do some more research on him and just loved his work! I really don't need to do much talking (well- typing but I'm sure you understood)


Look at this art and tell me it doesn't evoke a feeling of marvel or at the very least appreciation, I think it is safe to say you probably won't find a more contemporary photographer, God Bless you SS <3

OH LARD WORK IT GRACEYY!!

Take a look at some more of his work here <3

I think I'm going to temporarily brush off the Database Systems coursework peaking angrily from the tabs menu of my browser... This hour or so is dedicated to my brain - my mini cogwheels working amicably to produce the wondrous content you lay your eyes on today :)

GOOOSSSHH! I feel so escapist saying this but for one reason or another I have detached myself from this highly unpleasant world and have subsequently found myself submerged within all the sexiness of SS "11! Soooo many outfits I could see myself in if I were rich and - well ... skinny ! Something else I've noticed is that all the designers seems to really love their Menswear, if my memory serves me well I'm yet to come across a collection without a blazer or tailored trousers, am I missing something? when did this transmission occur? - but hey- like I said before I am NOT complaining! Before I get down to some Database Systems I'm going to work myself up with some more of my favourite looks! Seriously take a look at those sheer shirts! If only I could get away with wearing that down the street...I will one day... I'll just start preparing myself for life behind bars when I'm arrested for indecent exposure, shall I?
