Mark Fast SS 2012

These three are my fave looks. What I love about this collection is the hazardous ways the knits (which seem thicker than in his past collections) hang off the body. They don't seem to care to nip and tuck you in like Herve bodycon does but in spite, or rather because of that they are undeniably desirable. Net, thick knits, Vs, skin and tropicana. Fab.

Claire Courtin and Co. Have Tea

In a tea dress that's half Fifi Chachnil nightgown, half Toddlers and Tiaras. She looks like a beautiful pearly strawberry candy.

Sparkly Giant Fishnet Orange Cream Soda Mohair

I love her sweater!! The combination of the soft fuzziness and the hard sparkle of the top underneath is just perfect. Of course, I would change the hair and earrings (remove, I hate earrings) but I love it I want it! I will find a dupe don't fret.

Frisco: Fuzzkill Tiger Goes to Dinner

Sorry for the bad picture quality. We went to Salt House for dinner, which was amazing! Shoosh had the salmon and I had the lamb shank, and finished the whole thing by myself. And had dessert. And then food coma. I love above-the-ankle skirts, especially with patterns on them and in such heavy fabric. The column shape always goes well with a big furbomb on top granted you keep your arms bare. And then the shoooes, the shooooes... Shoosh said the clutch was furry overkill. I agreed. That's why I wore it. A perfect outfit is not a loveable outfit, you need the freak factor. Well, I do.

Kane...They Don't Love You Like I Love You, Kane

This is an order: listen to the song at the bottom before you begin viewing the collection.

I literally gasped in the library when I saw this collection and was waiting for the right time to post it. The fabrics shimmer in the craziest way. They are cut in a boxy, naive, child-like manner. They don't drape romantically to complement the richness (as these fabrics usually are) and yet the combination of the aforementioned naive cuts and the sheer abandon with which they were so fancifully woven with flowers with their celestial colours just struck me in the heart. Pairing them with soft pink knits was necessary to add an element of cosiness to their edge. Then you progress to the almost surgical scrub-like aprons made of ether and printed with a riot of impossibly joyful flowers. Its a hyper-real technicolour vision against the transparence. Notice how he paired them with bathroom slippers, only intensifying the overall feel of scrubbed-down cleanliness, purity, complete disregard for any contrived idea of seductiveness or in fact any corrupt, goal-oriented activity. You get the sense that this was spun in the imagination of a pure heart, a heartbroken child spilling over his visions of happiness, clean, unorthodox, shimmering, blossoming spring. The diamond cut right on the heart, the diamond encrusted rubber, the incredible, crystalline catharsis I feel when I feel Kane's imagination like this is priceless. Priceless. I love you Chris. So much, so much, so much!

Claire Courtin and Virginie Are So Cute

No, seriously. Can CCC get ANY cuter? I don't think so. The round glasses with the hat, the polka dots, the Doc Martens and the 90s denim jacket is so cool. And I love her bag, it's the cutest little plop of turquoise leather to compliment her outfit.
