Fashion On The Park

So, i havent blogged in almost a month. Why? Well, i went and purchased myself a life! Cost me a damn fortune too! $9.95!

No, but seriously, I've been in a fashion design competition. Yes, i'm on the other side of the creative spectrum this time, designing two garments for a contest.

PHOTOS! *BAM*

Versace Womenswear FW10

Is it just me, or has this showseason been incredibly boring?

Versace was not exempt from that. As glad as i am with Donatella steering the fashion house back to its roots, it seems she has also readopted her old, sloppy construction styles as well as the use of dodgy fabrics. All in all, the collection looked dated and cheap.

The upcoming season is just not working for me.

Impulse Buying

$450 later...

Photobucket
It looks so much better in person. The detail is lost through shitty lighting + shitty camera.

It's C'N'C by Costume National. Its RRP was supposedly $1690 and it was on sale for $860 but i made a little deal with the salesperson and got it for $450. (No, not that kind of a deal!)

Anyway, I'm not too sure if it's a worthy investment or a lapse in judgment on my part...

I mean, just look at those impeccable turns.



Oh and at 00:27 in Roberto Cavalli...
Do i need to say any more?

Victorian Gothic Fun

It took me about 4 hours to get to the photographers place for hair and makeup, but it was definitely worth it.

All seven models were super fun and we shot in front of a court house. We were to pretend there was a love triangle with the other girls gossiping. I was the man that was blindly in love with my wife (in the gold and red) whilst being spiteful toward the 'token hot guy'.

Heres a snippet of what went on behind the scenes:


Fun fun.

Figuring It Out

I've finally bought a pair of shoes that make me look tall enough when paired with super skinny jeans; usually i look like a midget when wearing thm because the proportions look odd...

Photobucket

But uh, wearing pointed leather shoes daily in Sydney is just a bit too dressy.

What does this mean? My proportions are suited for life in New York City? It must be my calling.

Versace Spring Summer 2010

With a large dosage of technical fabric, perforated leather, metal and heavy, loud prints, it seems like this season, Donatella chose to take a back seat in pushing the house forward. Instead, 80s are once again, a prevalent theme with many of the pieces carrying the aura of old school Versace.

PhotobucketPhotobucket

She went so far as to create a transparent plastic miniskirt! At least vintage Versace fanatics and old clientele will be happy *Paris Hilton, I'm looking at you*.

Photobucket

Despite the ressurection of Gianni and trashy DV, some of the design concepts in the end with the geometric evening gowns are refreshing, and upon closer inspection, the workmanship in many of the pieces are phenomenal.

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Quite a lineup of models were featured. There were two aussies - Skye Stracke and Abbey Lee Kershaw, who opened and closed the show. They also had one black model - Chanel Iman (ironic that im writing about her in a positive light eh?).

Of course, the regulars like Natasha, Lily (who both looked a little chunky in a poorly chosen garments) and Vlada were there.

PhotobucketPhotobucket

Speaking of Vlada, is it just me or does it seem like EVERYONE is going a lighter shade of blonde (or going blonde if they werent before)? Vlada, Carmen, Kasia.. WHATEVER. The only model who hasnt fallen under the pressure of uniformity on the runway is Karlie Kloss. She went a shade darker in brown.

After seeing this on the runway this week at the opening of London Fashion Week...

I threw up in my mouth a just little bit more than i usually do.

There are certain things you shouldn't say...

...when trying to find work as a model.

Like preach about being against homosexuality

ESPECIALLY IF YOURE SIGNED WITH ELITE MODEL MANAGEMENT.

Take a look at his MM page:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/538999

HOW FUCKING STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO PUBLICLY DETEST HOMOSEXUALS WHEN YOU'RE IN AN AGENCY RUN BY FAGS, YOU WORK WITH FAGS, AND YOU NEED TO FUCKING SUCK UP TO THEM TO GET THE BOOKINGS.

Haha. He also preeches about lust and all that shit. His top friend on Model Mayhem is a blonde bimbo skank, who has a fake tan, fake hair and fake boobs, who poses nude with her finger up her pussy.

I'm not pissed he dosent accept homosexuality, people have a right to their own oppinions. It just shits me how he can be so stupid and unproffesional as to put people down on a proffesional networking site, where a large chunk of the people there are possibly gay, with good intentions.

Rewatching old footage of the VS 2007 show.

The atmosphere created by the girls

with their tousled barrel curls flowing

to the beat of their every step,

the music,

the chandeliers,

creates a feeling so enticingly nostalgic...

it makes me want to plunder into a world of darkness and never resurface.
