pics from

would wear




i once painted a pair of jeans with white wall paint.
it got rock solid after it dried, so i couldn't walk or sit in it.
i thought washing it would soften it, so i machine washed it.
but it didn't turn out as planned... i thought it would just crackle
and be softer, but instead, all the paint came out
just as if i had never even painted it.

both pics from wildthicket.
the shirt is an untitled installation from 2007
by ole martin lund bo.

looks _ mina perhonen

have a beautiful sunday, dear friends!

i like the idea _ white relief with strips of black

white relief with black zip and belt


white relief with black epaulets and belt


white relief with black piping and button.
i also like the idea of piping these days. especially when
it's sufficiently narrow and it's made nicely,
with no topstiching on the right side.
(oh, sometimes i'm surprised at
how many english words i know. hehe.)

other ways you can achieve
a nice relief include
pintucks or other pleating,
draping, cable knitting
and quilting that i'm a big, big fan right now...
i've already felt some time back,
that quilting (in fashion) will be a great hit again.
and it is! i'd love to have or make
some quilted thing.

eniko mihalik in the september 2011 issue of numero,
photographed by anthony maule,
wearing a veil from julien david fall 2011 collection.

you can check out those very interesting veils here.
as far as i can tell, they are actually printed sacks made of organza,
i like them!

this pic was also posted in three parts. :)

editorial love _ the lady is a tramp





this pair of earings would make a nice and easy diy project.

some furs paired with printed pieces and vintage plastics.
i like the result!

fortuny

my heart beats a tad faster as i look at this.
to me it epitomizes an era that i revere and adore very much.
an era of beautiful, handmade garments
that were pieces of art onto themselves.
the era of fortuny, gallenga, chanel and vionnet.

stenciled label hand sewn onto the silk lining
of a mariano fortuny jacket.
so very good to look at, don't you think?

sharewear

it's just that i like this. so funny.
and an orange-pink color combo looks always great.

volume for fall

this is very ninties...



i really love the "sleeves" of this coat.
it's also fun, that in an editorial you don't have to dress like in real life.


preppy cool.



i like that bag.
and i love those culottes (split skirt of whatever)...
they were a big hit in the eighties as far as i remember.

nice color combo.

oh, fur!
and another nice bag!

heh, this doesn't seem to be really flattering (a celine coat)
but i still like it.
i also like the color.

it's still quite warm over here,
even tho we had a heavy drop
in temperature last night,
but it was coats washing day for me,
so, why not!

(i love spanish magazines, but they are
ridiculously expensive over here,
something like three time the cover price, or so...
one of my exes just returned from spain
so i told him to pick up some at the airport,
but he does'n speak languages so
he returned with a french vogue
and an italian elle... he is still a cutie
for bringing me any but it seems
i'll have to do without spanish mags for some time.)
