fall 08:print pattern texture

london fashion week started yesterday. so we, you, have several more weeks of runway chatter. im worse than a 7year old during a movie; plenty of comments and 2cents for every scene. hooray! this post is somewhat of an amalgam of pictures left adrift on my desktop and the first showings from london fash week. ive said it before and ill say it again: fall is the most expensive season. really you should shop at a thrift store for spring and summer barring a few pairs of shoes and other timely accessories and save everything for the cold months because you will be sorry once that cheap ass H&M coat's zipper breaks in the middle of an ice storm at 9pm walking home from studio. i got with the program this year and paid dearly for boots, classic cardigans&sweaters, tights, and jeans; the things i wear every day of the fall and winter months. to my credit they have lasted, worn well, and kept me frostbite free. fall always heralds print, pattern, and texture as well which may be a defense mechanism to combat the gray, cold days and sparse sunlight. excellent use of the three are as follows: alexander herchovich, temperley, eley kishimoto, and best of all, louise goldin with her sci-fi quilty-padded knits and topshop unique for super-sized sweaters and slick leathers. awesommeee.

70s mondrian vision



While Piet Mondrian created most of his work in the late30s-mid40s, the Fall 07 mixed-media references his graphic, linear style with a 70s filter. Texture mixing and layering gives these accessories a wholly personal appeal and the curved classic shapes turn them more towards investment pieces rather than doomed 'it' status.
