boned

VPL's Spring 2010 collection was, I have to admit, largely uninteresting to me, but I did like these two looks quite a lot, and Victoria Bartlett wasn't even responsible for the bits I liked. Some kid named Aran Baik was, and he is proving difficult to google.

I mean, of course I did, they're ribcage-esque knits. I have to say though, they remind me a lot of our old friend Alena Akhmadullina. Really, I'd take any of these and wear them with pride. I'll have to see if my knitting virtuoso friend is up for the challenge...

For some reason this shirt is described as "embroidered" even though it's... not.
By Anna Aichinger who makes really fantastic pieces. This reminds me a little of the see-through Prada lace dress.

From a designer called PristineSmut (I'm not sure about the capitalization on that).

Silk top by Vibejohansson, a designer from Denmark. Very very cool. Available here.
