It’s getting warmer out and you need a versatile skirt to get you through the season. The fishnet skirt by Iron Fist is comfy and relaxed so you can feel good about wearing a skirt more often because with this skirt it will be easy. This skirt can pair with many things in your wardrobe. One, it’s black so it will go with most anything, but its fishnet texture keeps it from being plain. Two, it can be casual paired with a t-shirt or tank top. Three, it can be dressy paired with a soft blouse or lacy camisole. Four, it can go to the beach as a great cover up for a swimsuit. The list goes on…
With the new album World of Faderhead just around the corner, the onslaught begins with this video for “Fistful of Fuck You”. Anyone who grew up through the 90s can instantly recognize the nod to Capcom side-scrolling fighting games and will be wishing that they could actually play. Watch the video and find if Faderhead can win and hope that there will be some sweet story ending if he can!?
A giant full moon hung in the background of Viktor & Rolf’s fall 2012 collection shown at Paris Fashion Week. I was excited to see this collection as I intrigued by their pre-fall collection. But the runway collection seemed tacky in comparison, sheer lingerie like pieces and fur. Though I am rather uninterested in real fur, the coats did catch my attention as they reminded me of Blade Runner’s Rachael. Pre-fall on the other hand was dark, romantic but modest, mysterious, and an appealing mix of American Gothic and Victorian.
Rag & Bone’s fall 2012 collection shown at New York Fashion Week gave me mixed feelings. A lot of the prints seemed almost ugly, but others kinda ugly in a good way, such as the tapestry print. My real interest here were all the layers, the spat leggings, and all the structured asymmetrical detailing.
Betsey Johnson’s fall 2012 collection shown at New York Fashion Week didn’t seem as cohesive or impressive as her fall 2011 collection. It seems this collection is drawing on many influences and ended up including many elements… mod, herringbone, 90s, florals, skulls and bones, and party dresses.
Zac Posen’s fall 2012 collection shown at New York Fashion Week threw Japanese influences into the mix, obi belts, rich jewel tones, and jacquard prints. Nothing out of his mold, but gorgeous and glamorous non-the-less.
