Beautiful Minds (Part Deux)

I should be looking online for decent hotels to stay in for next week's trip to Jakarta and Bali. Instead, I go on the web to gawk at them brains behind some of my fave collections for Spring-Summer 2010.

Christophe Decarnin

Stella McCartney

Gareth Pugh

Phoebe Philo

Yes, it's so smooth when they look as cool as their masterpieces.

P.S. - I can sleep on the streets of Indonesia. But not really. ;D

Not So Guilty Pleasure

Yes, I find a lot of their stuff before their Spring 2009 collection (except for those Louboutin shoes with clawlike details and divine cobweb knits. And I know someone who tried to take up knitting classes to learn how to make those knits. And by someone, I mean me.) to be crap. The conspiracy theorist in me is saying that they might be the Milli Vanilli of fashion. I also heard that their clothes from their show back in 2006, I think, were really badly made.

But now, I think they have really interesting collections. An array of fabric on a single piece of clothing. Those cobweb knits. The leather ribcage. The mix of color. The tribal-esque styling. I think I'm beginning to like Rodarte. Now if only those cardigans weren't too fucking expensive...

Green, Green, Green!

Okay. Blame it on Balmain but the color green from the camouflage spectrum gets prominent this Spring/Summer 2010. I'm glad. ;D

P.S. It seems that we have been ignoring this joint. Our weltanschauung needs some realignment. Or whatever. I'll post photos when I get back. If I have interesting photos, that is.
