More Mouret

July 5th 2007 08:28

Only a few posts ago I was bemoaning the lack Roland Mouret in my life after that galaxy dress (worn rather well by Demi Moore). But Style.com has informedme that he has returned, view their article here.

And here's my favourites of the aforementioned collection.

Number 1.

From Style.com

Believe it or not someone has reinvented the coat dress. This cut is a new version of volume, the texture, shape and buttons are a symbiotic sartorial success. (Alliteration anyone?)

Number 2.

From Style.com

This is an ideal cocktail party number, drink only white wine and eat only hummus and you'll be just fine.

Number 3.

From Style.com

Yes this is an LBD but the hem is a conservation starter, the fabric is exquisite and the cut sufficiently avaunt guarde to travel from an art opening to an intimate dinner at your favourite hole-in-the-wall bistro with ease.

Number 4.

From Style.com

And finally does this remind anyone else of some vernacular fashion from, you guessed it, Balenciaga, but nevertheless it is stylish and I might attempt larceny were I to see some young thing traipsing about the streets in this ensemble.

Junya Watanabe or College Days Revisited

June 26th 2007 00:01

In this rainy wintry weather looking at Junya Watanabe’s men’s collection in Milan I was reminiscing about college. For those of you unfamiliar with the Canberra education system, years 11 and 12 at public schools are called colleges, are located on their own grounds, have no uniforms and the teachers are called by their first names. There’s no HSC, assessment is close to the university system and generally they’re far nicer places to be. Anyway when I was at college the boys used to dress like this, themselves nostalgic for some sort of 80s punky/motorcycle rider style.

Daria Werbowy: Canadian Amazon

June 15th 2007 00:07

From Dariawerbowy.org

Pictured here all fresh faced and delightful is Daria Werbowy of Canada. Werbowy, like Jessica Stam, passes my knee test (if the thigh is wider than the knee then the model is not sick) and not only that but she exhibits an intelligence one may not expect from models. Maybe she’s simply learned to feign intent with those blue eyes of hers, or perhaps I’m prejudiced because she’s brunette but I do think there’s something more in Werbowy’s brain than is usually held in the mind of a model

Prada: progenitor of postmodern pastiche

June 14th 2007 00:44

In my habitual internet trawlings I came across quite a feat on the Prada website. Admittedly I didn’t much like this season’s collection but the means by which it is represented is a true cultural document. Prada demonstrates wit, self-reflexivity and pastiche in a way that many other ‘postmodernists’ should envy. As a European luxury brand, descended from a grand tradition to a commercial reality, Prada is a modern day icon but the self-representation offers an entirely new perspective on the brand.

Gucci sucks

June 13th 2007 00:43

Just about anyone with any style steers clear of Gucci on the whole and their Autumn/Winter 07 collection only affirms that general principle. Let’s take a look at some examples.

It's all in the gams: Jessica Stam

June 7th 2007 00:42

One of the most striking models of the contemporary brat pack is Jessica Stam, a statuesque Canadian who has the kind of natural physique required for catwalk shows. She is indeed long and slender but there is nothing painful about the proportions of her legs or the position of her clavicle. My general rule is that if the knee is wider than the thigh there’s a problem but Stam is in proportion as you can see from the Stella McCartney show.

Balenciaga, Vernacular Fashion

May 31st 2007 00:33

From Style.com

After using Balenciaga as an example in my white shirt post I remembered what a stand-out collection Nicolas Ghesquière produced for Fall 2007 collection and I was reminded by our very own (why are we so patriotic when it comes to beautiful people) Gemma Ward wearing Balenciaga at Cannes.
