my little finger is tingling, that must mean that fashion week in Milan is starting.

So they say tweed is already over? WTF.

"Clark Kent clones paraded classically cut business suits, and bare-chested models wore studded jeans slung low enough to warrant a bikini wax. Cult British label Burberry Prorsum pinned colourful fake flowers made of tartan mohair to shaggy sheepskin coats, vivid velvet jackets and plasticised cloaks."

these men are so itty bitty! I want to give them tiny cups of tea!

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

They're all manorexics!

I love love love these outfits -- it's like a classic Adam & the Ants video.

I have a sudden urge to rent:

Another wacky VW creation...

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I just tried on a Vivienne Westwood shirt and I kind of looked like a big poofy pirate.

― S!monB!rch (Carey), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I did not buy it.

― S!monB!rch (Carey), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I just want the pirate hat.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

AWESOME

Roberto Cavalli, for the goth pimp in your life.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

OH MY GOD I NEED THAT!

Maroon velvet...now I could go for that.

(But no man that thinks maroon velvet is a good idea would ever go for me, so the point is moot.)

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

In the meantime, doesn't Mr. Maroon's head look strangely large? Even allowing for the manorexia?

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It does almost look like it was photoshopped on.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Hooray for a new fashion thread! Yeah, tweed is kind of done, although it is still practical here in New England because it's freakin COLD outside. I still think basic tweed is OK, but gratuitous tweed (ie handbags and really fashiony clothes) is over. I'm not giving up my tweed suit though, it has a fabulous accordion pleat full skirt that is still stylin and anyway, it's not like I live in New York.

Where is that spring fashion thread, anyway? It's not like people are wearing the stuff yet. I am busy hawking vintage on teh eBay and wondering what I should scout out to pull in maximum $$$ when all the spring buyers show up.

― daria g (daria g), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

tweed will always be classic. but damn, i am so glad people are starting to realize that brooches were DOA. There was a great article written about how the brooch trend had a extra super short shelf life because it was a trend anyone could do no matter their dress size or bank account heft. I just thought they made people look matronly.

― S!monB!rch (Carey), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:42 (twenty-one years ago)

well viv did dress adam ant. judging from these pics she just phoned in her collection from 25 years ago (not that there's anything wrong with that). i always love prada (i guess cuz i like lil guys and they dress em better than anyone), though burberry's 60's dandyism is kinda irrestible.

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

would I like fashion? I like fashion students, they are always pretty.

― .ada.m. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Prada as a whole would be close to perfection if they had never done those horrible vela nylon bags. Those things are atrocious and they will not go away.

― S!monB!rch (Carey), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:51 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, what's with the terrible hats and bags? to make this collection look different than any other year perhaps.

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I know, that picture upthread is basically just everything Vivienne did for her Seditionaries store back in the day. But I'm always in favor of an early 80s revival, no matter how played out it is.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Damn I wish my mom had broadband. More descriptions, ladies!

ooh, can i order one of the boys from burberry prorsum? i'll have the one in the silly orange/green/blue combo. he's lovely.

where's all the clothes for girls?

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 20 January 2005 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

not time yet. very soon.

There was a Vivienne Westwood exhib at the National Gallery in Canberra, which I recently went to. I was bemused to note that her current season (as per Nicole's pic above) is strangely much like one she did back in the early 80s, during the Adam & the Ants/Bow Wow Wow era.

She's pillaging her own style! I didnt know what to think.

Looks great though, I love her early stuff (the tweed and tartan and pirate shirts and layers of rough fabrics).

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 January 2005 01:47 (twenty-one years ago)

it is time for paris couture!

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

and Armani enters the arena! some new oscar nominees will certainly be shopping!

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 15:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Not couture, but all the high street shops are full of cocking gypsy ruffle skirts for Spring. We can't go through all that again, surely.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I really like the Armani collection, with all the fishtails and cute little hats.

liz, unfortunately I saw all that pushed in the latest Harpers Bazaar, horrible stuff.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Valentino was just lovely as well. Galliano for Dior even toned it down, just for me! Thanks John!

Love the hat.

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

burberry prorsum is my new object of drooling lust. also, prada's watches and knee socks. i need to find pictures.

Like these socks, Lauren?

― Leon the Fatboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

yes! i want them.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

(the last for the color of the crinoline beneath the dress. the models and their hair are better than the clothes.)

― youn, Thursday, 10 February 2005 04:55 (twenty-one years ago)

just got back from the tents. the vivienne tam collection was very nice

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 10 February 2005 05:08 (twenty-one years ago)

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 11 February 2005 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 11 February 2005 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 11 February 2005 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

omg, marc jacobs cuteness overload - I want everything. I'm so glad the (19)20s are back; I've been waiting a long time.

Hi! I'm doing sales for this super-cute Australian fashion label. It's sold in 30+ stores in Australia, NZ, Japan, HK, Singapore, Madrid, Paris, and Copenhagan. Anyone in the States/Canada are friends with any fashion buyers, or can recommend some stores in their home city? It's in the $75 tshirt. 120-250 for other pieces range.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 10 March 2005 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

please?
