An Attack of Fever

Fashion fever.

Yes it's been forever and yes

i haven't posted about New York fashion week

and yes now it's London fashion week and I've already had an overload of stimuli because i've just looked at Gareth Pugh and Christopher Kane's shows... my two faves.

oh by the way my House of Holland shirt was the "Cum Again Christopher Kane" one haha...I wore it to school and I think people were a bit scandalized... my bad i should've known they wouldn't understand me *sniff sniff*

I think what I'm gonna do is do a bigggggg posting frenzy after all the Spring shows are over (since i'm overloaded with "real work") with my favourite tidbits. I'm sure that won't work out because I'll just get too excited.

For now i'll leave u with this teaser:

god the way the clothes moved in the Kane show... goergous (and look a the metal toed lace-ups)!!!!. contrasted with the hard S&M (as everybody was pointing out) yet still wearable and quite beautiful in my opinion Gareth Pugh show. Leatherleatherleather that's why i love leather.

Bittersweet Departure

(he's so cuteee!)

One of the most venerable names in fashion announced his resignation today.
Yes Valentino. Even before his 45th anniversary in fashion in July, people were speculating his departure but he refused to comment on anything. I remember an article I read in WWD about his legendary history and how he said he was still very much interested in designing. Fortunately, he will have one more season of Ready-to-wear and one more season of Haute Couture before someone else (WHO???) will replace him. Some people who are being considered:
Jack and Lazaro of Proenza Schouler
Giambattistta Valli
Former Gucci designer Alessandra Fachinetti is thought to be the most likely candidate...
Who can replace one of the greatest designers of our time? Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised

Fashion Groupies Unite!

FINALLYY!

If I'm not a "fashion groupie" then I seriously don't know what hell I am.

I finally purchased my first House of Holland Fashion Groupie t-shirt. The Gareth Pugh and Giles Deacon ones have been the background of my phone for months with the lovely Agyness Deyn modeling. They also have "cause me pain hedi slimane," and "do me daily christopher bailey" among others.
*NOTE: Hedi has been replaced as designer at Dior Homme by Kris Van Assche...let's hope he can follow in those formidable footsteps without stumbling*
But I won't tell u which one I got yet. You'll have to wait until I get it and i'll post a picture for y'all. And it's not the ones I've mentioned either.
hehe surprises!!

The Fall 2007 season of House of Holland featured a whole slew of new t-shirts, this time with mostly models names:

"flick yer bean for agyness deyn", "i'm a tosser for coco rocha", "i'll show you who's boss kate moss", and one of my faves "let's play naked twister linda evangelista" HAHA.. yes please.
