As in THAT SHOE screams at me… “Lust for me and my dirt inspired blush.”

Model behaviour #5

So this time around the “model behaviour” comes without the traditional oxymoron. If you don’t know what I’m talking about read up on past post.

S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G.

My part of the world is experiencing the short occasion of winter. I’m over it already, and I’d like to believe that are retailers nationwide (sales are hard to avoid). This is when you bargain for good quality pieces that can be style worthy next year. Because we all know that unlike summer attire, these pieces can hardly be worn through the other seasons a year will be sure to throw at you.

On your skin

I’m going through tattoo loving phase. I can’t help appreciating detail scripted on flesh and the sense of self knowledge, expression and confidence I associate with one’s ability to get permanently inked.

If you look closely you’ll see Zoe Kravitz’s tattoos.

Vogue Mexico & Japan

Both seemingly cohesive, in recognising summer beauty trends. Traditional orange and it’s under tones. If you are willing to try it, make sure your hair isn’t too dark… so the lip does not crash too hard into an unforgiving contrast.

On the other hand, the only critic I have is the use of traditionally idolised images of beauty rather than natives models for the cover of their own country’s magazine. I don’t remember seeing Japanese on the cover of vogue Japan. It goes for almost every other county too. But, I’m just saying.

Prada Press Release

Prada uses teenagers to efficiently exemplify the vision held by directors in relation to their latest campaign and AW11 collection where they execute a playful appeal with the use of mermaid scales “blend with natural ease and precision.” “It’s a dressing room of contemporary desire disguised as a playroom of childhood dreams.” Awwww

Men’s fashion week

I applaud the convicted statement established by Mugler’s haute design. Men too, deserve the opportunity to play on the humane necessity of creative outlets. .. For the sake of doing so as well as the virtue expressed by the quote “a dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to want to take it off” in specific relevance to men. Right?

Art makes no excuses

It is innovative and convicted in its right to initiate growth within the perspective realms of a social standing. New school has name…

Bold hues

You should know that rules concerning style and wearing pieces or colours together are no longer relevant.

Sunshine in dark places

‘Honey, it feels like I’ve forgotten something. My bag perhaps? And why are you giving me that obscured look?”

“I am pretending to pat the dog we do not own.”

“honey this time I promise the breeze blew my towel away.”

I’m imagining all of this in effort to enlighten the load of creative maturity evident in the frames. How fun.

What makes it real?

Who gets to decide whether truths are authentic and pure in intention? Individual perception or predetermined influences our perceptions often fail to recognise? All I know is that it gets easier to make sense of it all with my eyes closed.
