Well…it’s not that I’m still soaked within Avatar’s wage. But I really admire all these blues for SS10. And these different mood of blues look the best if a dash of LIME mixing in. Hope you agree…?
Clockwise from top left—-Kenzo…Proenza Schoeler…Stella McCartney for Adidas—Alexander McQueen—Proenza Schouler—denim overall—Yohji Yamamoto(with hands)
Kenzo is one of my three admirable Japanese designers. (other 2 are Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo, founder of Comme des Garcons) First time seeing his interview in fashion magazine was in early 90s and inside interview it shows, that the designer has an international mind and global taste. His most remarkable skill is to recreate different illustration and patterns of flowers for more than 1001 versions. His collection path shows a string of tribal vibes from Japanese to Russian to African. All colours are softly merged together, kind of soothing your eye-balls despite the global village influence. Then minimalism and punks and futuristic comes and goes. No one seems to be noticing Kenzo that much until this SS2010 collection came out.
Although Mr.Kenzo has now retired from his company, new design team has very well inherited Kenzo’s spirit and SS2010 collection, I have to admit, is my most favourite show of the season.
Fashion is about fun, about mix and match. Anyone can look great in an amazing dress, however, how to pull layers and layers of clothes together correctly, that requests some fine taste and balance.
I simply love the grey boxy suit jacket with sequin-embellished top half, teamed with soft lantern-shape crop trousers.
Soft rusty colour soft bomber jacket over draped chainy cocktail dress.
Bleached denim jacket cover crème goddess maxi. (even check on those Japanese style jewelled belt. It’s mixed with stone, jewel and gingham fabric and rope)
Most ground-braking item is the little number of camo vest, with burnt-out camo patterns mixing with sequins, luuuuush!!!
The collection even makes oversized madras check and Islamic architect patterns looking so feminine and chic.
And also here full of tiny styling tips like mixing skinny scarves with different weight of chains.
It’s turning out to be my SS10 styling bible. So chic but so casual. You can easily walk in a cocktail party after a day-work in these chic looks.
After seeing the collection you realise that sequins and glitter don’t just exist for Christmas party and evening. Lady Gaga recently said, ‘Glitter could save the world.’ And I can’t see anything wrong with that catch phrase in coming 2010!!
I am absolutely in love with this editorial shoot from the latest edition of Dazed & Confused magazine. It was shot by Norwegian-Pakistani photographer Benjamin Alexander Huseby, styled by Katie Shillingford and features Hannah Holman and Antonella Graef.
