Take that Karl!

Just com across this article and i'm loving it! Hate it when people continuously singing praises about him. Not that i hate him but i really think fame is really getting into his head:

"In February he said, “Heidi is no runway model. She is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. And she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde - that is commercial!” and now he claims not to know who she is, “I don’t know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn’t know who she is.” First, you can’t break down someone’s body and then say you don’t know they exist. Second, which high fashion designer is more commercial than Karl Lagerfeld? Third, you don’t make money when Claudia Schiffer knows who you are, you make it when Middle America knows your name (though we don’t believe for a second that Schiffer’s never heard of Klum). Fourth, Lagerfeld makes gorgeous, brilliant clothes, but avant-garde at this stage? Non."

East meet west








I'm actually very tired + lazy + beer is here so...i copied + paste + erase :)

Florence’s Boboli Gardens, located around the corner from the Pitti Palace, was disrupted last week by a catwalk show by Japanese designer Jun Takahashi who presented Undercover’s Spring/Summer 2010 menswear collection.

When the first set of models clad in pure white garments matched with plastic see-through sandals, satchels and bags, started walking around the natural circular runway created by the pond, crowd had the feeling that an almost robotic group of aliens had landed. White metamorphosed into beige and grey, then climaxed into silvery high-tech and super light reflective fabrics used for trenches and tops that shone through the Florentine night.
Deep blue prints of water and dark green prints of woods were used for long sleeved/sleeveless jackets and trousers that evoked a mountaineering chic mood, almost a tribute to the current eco-friendly trends, also referenced in the thin coloured branches – crossovers between walking sticks and whips – carried by some of the models.

The slim and streamlined shapes and silhouettes of the suits and outerwear of the jackets evoked the “Less But Better” theme of the collection, fully respecting the main inspiration that came from German industrial designer Dieter Rams.

As a whole the collection was evocatively poetical, fusing modernism with romanticism, but Takahashi’s presentation didn’t finish here. Guests were then asked to reach the top of the gardens where an installation under a tree introduced them to the designer’s magically eerie dolls that he calls “Graces”. These oxymoronic entities of beautiful terror were created by assembling different materials. The mystery behind these creatures was revealed later on during a live session during which a Grace was slowly assembled, almost as a tribute to the strong doll-making tradition that exists in Japanese culture. While a band produced syncopated electric rhythms, a team created on a small stage a Grace, starting from the tubes and electrical parts that support its body, adding hundreds of disassembled fluffy toys, vintage doll hands and a Cyclop-like luminous eye.

As the guests were taken onto a discovery journey through the Graces’ world, they also grasped the very essence of Undercover’s world, a visual maelstrom, made of performance art, culture and clothes that demand liberty and independence and that rebel against everything that is superfluous and stylistically and aesthetically unpleasing.
