Poisoned

I've been food poisoned for a few days now, not very inspiring condition, so the only thing I could possibly share is Martin Creed's "Sick film" that he made in 2006. Careful, it's actually S.I.C.K.!

Maya myth

I absolutely love BEVEL jewellery. It's a great brand with very deep philosophy that explains everything: from its name to concept and inspiration. It's always nice to find out that a creator/designer is intelligent and broad-minded enough to explore the world and think far above the limits of the fashion industry.

The last collection is called BALL GAME. It was inspired by the oldest Maya myth, which is based on the story of the Hero Twins, who travelled into Xibalba (underworld) in order to take vengeance on the Death Gods.

Here are some of my favourite items:

Video of the collection (love the music):

I'm taking this medicine with a lot of caffein in it, so now I can't sleep and stay calm for even a few minutes. I feel like moshing today...but not crazy moshing, just a bit of garage punk fun.

Thierry Mugler's ladies

After I completely fell in love with Thierry Mugler's menswear collection during Paris Fashion Week in January, it became quite obvious for me that Paris always presented the most spectacular fashion shows. But I wasn't so sure about that till yesterday, when Mugler's creative director Nicola Formichetti absolutely blew my mind with his new womenswear collection. It was just incredible and this is beyond question. Lady Gaga was one of the models on the catwalk, and, of course, I can't not mention him - Rick Genest (Zombie Boy). I guess both of them are Formichetti's muses forever, that is why Rick returned to Paris again, but now for the womenswear catwalk.

Here is the catwalk show:

Btw, Lady Gaga presented her new video "Born This Way" starring Rick Genest, which I'm not sure how to comment yet, because either Gaga is too cool for pop music, or Rick -  not so cool for punks. But maybe it's just me being very subjective and silly:) I enjoyed it anyway.

I'm on Fire

While I'm dealing with my essays, deadlines and work, take a look at one of my favorite bands:)

Charlie's slaughter house

Although I was going to write about each day of LFW, after the second day I couldn't find any outfit I truly loved. That's why I decided to write about Charlie Le Mindu. This guy is amazing, completely mental. He learned how to sew through Youtube videos, and used his hairdressing skills to create what he creates now - chaotic, artistic and pointless shit. But I love it. I mean, no one, apart from Lady Gaga and drag queens, could wear his clothes...people just normally don't have such eventful lives, that would ever give them the chance to even try his stuff on. But it doesn't really matter, because his catwalks are like waterfalls of emotions, ideology, and action. It's less about designing - more about art.

For Autumn/Winter 2011/2012, Charlie, as usual, created a lot of provocative looks with blood and nudity. The sound of squealing pigs was the main soundtrack of the show. So thrilling! Once again. skirts, dresses, and all other "furry" garments were made out of human hair. Add some PVC clothes, laces, military hats and great styling from Anna Trevelyan, and there you have it. All this from a person who used to do your hair. Genius, genius Charlie Le Mindu.

LFW Charlie Le Mindu. (watch till the end)

Zombie For Mugler

I've been following Rick Genest in his obsession for turning himself into a zombie through shocking tattoos for a few years now. He was mentioned in Guinness World Records as one of the most famous modified people. But I would never imagine that he would become Thierry Mugler's new muse. Punks on catwalks, ladies and gentlemen. The whole collection is sort of searching for masculinity by experimenting with classic suits, leather trousers and silky veils. Some models were covered with black paint that looked like petrol. Very impressive and inspiring. I need to admit the whole team that worked for Mugler during Paris Fashion Week, including Nicola Formichetti, Anna Trevelyan, Lady Gaga (who recorded a soundtreck) and Zombie Boy, is ridiculously wonderful, isn't it?

LFW Day 2

Best LFW day so far! I've always been a fan of Craig Lawrence, but his new collection is just my dream: shaped transparent dresses and veils, dark shades, sort of metallic materials, rips and holes here and there and finally, fishnet knitted sweaters and dresses. Just amazing.

Femininity and simplicity, but colours colours colours by Jonathan Saunders. Red is becoming new black.

(more Jonathan Saunders...)

Charles Anastase. Very chic and rock'n'roll. Velvet, silk and see through materials.

Snapshot of J.W. Anderson boots with fur on the top. He always knows how to add spice to any look.

Zarathustra

Although I'm not religious at all, I find religion very inspiring. When I was decorating my room I accidently found a picture of Terence Koh's artwork called "God". Now this picture is on the wall in front of my bed, so every time I go to bed/wake up, the last/first thing I look at is "God". 

While enjoying Koh's artwork make sure you're listening to "Also sprech Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss, because it doubles your impression. 

I also find it interesting how they experiment with the image of a nun in fashion. Here are some of my favourites. 

LFW Day 1

While I'm dealing with a stream of information from today's catwalks, I had a bit of time to analyse first few days of London Fashion Week.

My favourites of DAY 1 are definitely Felder Felder and PPQ, which is quite an obvious choice of mine if you know how much I love weird feminine shapes in a combination with silk, leather or heavy wool materials similar to those they used during Second World War.

(more Felder Felder...)

Felder Felder collection really reminded me of Lirfons brand, which is not well-known yet, but they make some really cool stuff using faux fur and leather materials, neon colours and studs.  

(more PPQ...)

I love how PPQ managed to put together a catwoman and a nun (I got this feeling from high hats as on the right picture) on the same catwalk. 

For the first time...

Right, so this blog is my interpretation of fashion. I enjoy experimenting and messing around with styles, colors, shapes and forms, everything indeed that could widen understanding of my image and myself.

I truly believe that there is a connection between art and fashion, and the deeper you dig while searching for inspiration the closer you get to know this connection.
