REAL TALK

I've been dying to cut all my hair off and thanks to Lulu I finally found a good visual representation of what I was imagining in the form of Kiko Mizuhara. Blunt bob straight across. But as Shini tweeted: Note to self: When I'm buying tights, I am buying the tights, not the model's legs... I too have to remember that just because I cut my hair like this doesn't mean my face will morph into fairy, gamine-like features like hers...sigh...nonetheless, still want.However, the real issue is convincing my emo-loving, modern, sci-fi guy of a mate into letting me get, or rather still be attracted to me, after said cut. He thinks a haircut like that has zero sex appeal and is dorky and child-like. "There's nothing cool about it." So I get this in my inbox this morning:

GIVENCHY HAUTE COUTURE 2011

My mind has already been beaten into glorious submission by Givenchy under Tisci's rule and now I'm pretty much on auto-pilot zombie for any of his collections but this Haute Couture collection especially tugged on my little Asian heart strings. It's like something out of an epic period piece. I'm wishing someone would make a full length feature film just to see all these looks in action. How ethereal.
above - my favorite Asian model at the moment, Fei Fei Sun
above - another favorite, Tao Okamoto

They could use the looks from the last Haute Couture show (below right) and the film would be something like the battle between Good versus Evil...Light versus Dark...Mazinger Z versus Black Magic. With an insane female ensemble cast.

I mean can you IMAAAAGINE?!?!

ROTVENCHY

Twitter was inundated with real-time tweets of the Givenchy Mens Fall 2011 show and everything was Rottweiler this, rabid dog that. I was curious to say the least and finally got around to checking it this morning.

Truth be told, I would be nervous and stand a little more upright and stiff-backed than usual if I saw this dude approaching me on the street. Weirdo enough to scare the shrimp back out of a girl! More Vitamin D, less choker huh?
Menswear will always be the best source of inspiration. Need tonal varsity jacket and doggy print shirt STAT.
And things that make you go hmmmm....the rabid Rottweiler print plaid shirt looks an awful lot like the Neighborhood shirt I posted about last year....but why have one, when you could have two?
Which reminded me to take another look at the SS10 Magnificent Seven collection, which you should never do because you will almost always see something you missed then be sad you can't get it anymore. Case.in.point.
