Time has flown. I graduated college and stopped caring about fashion for a while. But I'm back. For all none of you who read this, I've missed you. Things haven't changed much, I still like gothy looking shit, and will even when all magazines, runway shows, and uppity teen bloggers demand that I wear florals and pastels, or worse, anything from the early 1990s.

I'd probably only wear about half of this: the Proenza, Dries, and Balenciaga. I weep for the Proenza (that dress!). I'm too afraid of leopard print, purple turns me off a little, and the yellow on the clutch is probably a little too bright for me.

blue, part I

Zero Maria Cornejo, Twinkle, Proenza Schouler, Dries van Noten

ZMC: I actually really love that this print is derived from an image of the ocean - it brings together the chaotic mixing of blue and white in a really visually appealing way without being at all like a hokey Hawaiian shirt. If anything it reminds me of the Great Wave off Kanagawa, but shinier. I also really love that the cut echoes the fluid movement evoked by the print.

Twinkle: Aside from hating the name of this label, I quite like the dress. The print reminds me of a Franz Marc painting, and I'm a big sucker for German Expressionism. I really love the inflections of yellow into the print as well.

PS: Okay, so I'm not the greatest Proenza fan out there. Frankly, I think they make some ugly stuff. But I like the texture here, and the juxtaposition of the black and white against the blue and yellow. I really can't tell what's going on in the skirt part, but from far away the effect is quite nice.

DVN: I love the use of color here. SO MUCH. Everyone knows that Dries is a master of color, and the contrasts here are striking. The Indian blue sari-esque skirt with the orange/red/black top, that (if I could see the print better) I think might be Japanese (bamboo and whatnot?). It looks so vibrant and so fresh. I also love the unexpected green clutch.
