which one is better??

Oh dear god, the Christopher Kane atomic bomb collection has finally been produced for the masses. The question is: do I want green or black? SO HARD to choose: green would be more interesting, but black and white is so classic. Also there is the distinct possibility of people mistaking the print for simply an abstraction, which is something I know one of my Art History professor would lose it over (the conceptual part of it, not the actual dress. Although I must admit, he is quite the dresser himself. Red socks anyone?).

But ultimately, do I really have it in me to spend $300 on a cotton tank dress... eh, I think not.

atelier swarovski

Atelier Swarovski collaborations make me actually interested in Swarovski for once. Hmm.

Christopher Kane FW09. I love scarab beetles.

Giles FW09. I'm not a huge fan of brown as a whole but this piece is called the Ennis necklace, so I still kind of love it. I am also liking the use of felt which I feel has been a generally under-appreciated material, with the exception of Joseph Beuys.

we'll meet again

I know that everyone else has already blogged these, and that I've even commented on those posts, but I don't care. I love these and I'm putting them up too. I've never really paid much attention to Christopher Kane, to be completely honest. I mean, obviously I noticed the howling monkey dresses, no one could miss those. His resort 2010 collection is so perfect those, just like the closing shots of Dr. Strangelove, one of my favorite movies. It only took 45 or so years for it to make it into fashion from Kubrick, but I welcome it eagerly. I wish I could afford one of these, because they are guaranteed to be collectors pieces. Investment dressing to the extreme.

If you want, you can see the video of the ending to Dr. Strangelove on Youtube. I heard somewhere once that Ronald Reagan, upon entering office, asked to see the War Room - invented by/ featured prominently in Dr. Strangelove - which of course didn't/doesn't (?) exist.
