Call it aftermath, she’s turning blue.
Such a lovely colour for you.

Moon Young Hee F2010 RTW

You know I’d never heard of Moon Young Hee but I am loving this collection more than even some of my favourite heavyweights. She’s certainly not designing anything earth-shatteringly new, but the formula works beatifully and it makes my heart race.

Hee’s dramatic elegance is fiercely feminine which is something I’ve really pushed myself away from in the last year or so, sartorially speaking. Recently I am finding myself becoming increasingly bitter over how much more I prefer men’s fashion to women’s – but androgynous style is cut for an androgynous figure. I might not have the figure of a femme-fatale but I just can’t pull off the many “boyfriend” shapes that appeal to me.

Hee’s collection reminds me that it’s OK to wear a skirt and feel pretty, while still retaining the strong sense of aesthetic definition I’ve been craving in my wardrobe.

That’s Okay Too

Sometimes things don’t work out the way you wanted.
And that’s okay too.

The Cave Dwellers

Loving Kirrily Johnston’s AW10 collection, Cave Dwellers. The collection’s moody androgyny is harmoniously composed, with each piece complimenting the others perfectly. From withdrawn minimalism to heavy avante garde layering, this versatile collection has wide appeal despite it’s strong aesthetic convictions.

My major covets are the insanely beautiful pony-hair boots that Johnston is re-releasing this season in black, and the ridiculous shaggy cardigan/jacket – which I can confirm feels like a nomadic dream when worn.
Be still my beating heart.

Even the name is amazing.

Discovery

I never understand when people “discover” magical items of clothing hidden in the forgotten depths of their wardrobe. How could you possibly forget buying something that’s obviously so wonderful? I never forgot I bought this skirt, but I did have to hunt around for a while through piles of supposedly unwanted clothes until I “discovered” it.

Lately I’ve been really feeling leopard print. Next step is to introduce a full leopard print clothing item into the mix. Maybe a pair of Major Ray’s Lover jeans by Sass&Bide… if I could “discover” them at a price that was within my budget.
