just looked at the burberry collection as a whole, and thought that this look could've been edited out, the colour and styling doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the show. the colour, when compared to the beautiful plum and aubergine and that sunflower yellow and military green, just doesn't fit, its, in my opinion, to graphic and cold, the rest of his colour pallete has warmth, this doesn't. to me, just a small glitch in what is an amazing collection.
it's official... cassi is signed to img paris, today 'models.com' premiered img's show package for fall 2010 and ms. van den dungen is on it! she joins the likes of lara, freja, sasha and stam on img's blue-chip roster
cassi van den dungen, of 'australia next top model' fame, has apparently been signed to img paris + will be flying to paris, next week for castings for the fall 2010 collections. that is the most exciting news, after being panned for not accepting a contract from elite models straight after the show wrapped, this is a big coupe for the stunning 17 year old. and also, not to pump up my own tyres, but seeing her in the previews for antm back in april, i thought she was stunnning and should win. i will be excited to see if any of the big names book her...
yesterday, valentine's day, i went to melbourne, to do what i usually do, leer at clothing and accessories that i know in reality i will never own, but still, i leer anyway. and buy magazines... back to the leering, if only i had a spare $3650 in the back pocket of my claude maus jeans, i could by a timewalker watch from mont blanc. i went into their collins street boutique and tried one on, amazing... back to the magazines, i bought the february issue of american vogue with jessica biel as its cover girl. 10 men, with david beckham in the cover and vman 16, with vman model winner rico on the cover. it is full of great edits, one called 'work it out' by terry richardson, which features garrett neff and a handful of other buff models sweating it out in the gym in various states of undress. and featured in this post is another edit, entitled 'legendary,' featuring male SUPERmodels, tyson, brad, tony, joel and co. and lookie... mr brad koenig in MY prada studded brogues.
he just has IT, he seems to have had the cool just built into him from birth. the way he sees things, classic things and completely flips them on there head. the opening looks, done in grey pinstripe suiting were abbreviations of what we know as high-powered corporate wear, but in wang's hands, become sexy body-con coats, with crossover lapels and cover-buttons, and an cropped bolero over a slinky dip-dyed singlet. even a mini-dress with tails in the back and a beautiful fragile lace top edge. a simply grey sweater is updated when draped and cut to the sternum. like christopher kane a few seasons back, wang managed to make velvet sexy, by way of a blood-red a -line mini dress with lace sleeves, a pair of merlot over-the-boot leggings and little crop tops that peek-a-boo out from under a clever dinner jacket/capelet hybrid. his closing passage of little grecian draped dresses, are the perfect answer to red-carpet dressing for the new young and the restless group of it-girl actresses and socialites. by way of accessories, he showed amazing fabric wrapped sunglasses, a sweet vertical-style doctor-bag, in high-shine bag leather, black canvas nap-sacks + super-stacked moccasin-style booties in leather and velvet. with the cult following that wang harbours, one would imagine outside pressure would get to him, but its seems that his confidence and ability just seem to grow with every new collection, the standard and quality of work is always there and that is what keeps the cool girls wanting more...
justin thornton and thea begassi showed their preen fall 2010 collection in new york this past friday. and in usual preen fashion, it was a brilliant mix of body-concious slinky dresses and sharp tailoring. what was new was the opening passage of floaty bustier dresses, with cashmere turtle-neck sweaters, cropped over the bust, on top, a cool way to keep warm without sacrificing sex appeal. its hard to explain, i can't quite pin-point what it is that makes preen, cool. but there is something about the styling, and the peek-a-boo nature of alot of the looks, whether it be a full on attack of flesh as in the last black dress, or just a hint of skin, as in a black corset dress, with a slash of skin cut under the cups, or even the second look, which is half mesh. it is always sexy but never in an overt way. take the third look, over half of anja's body is covered, but the strength of the shoulder and the cinched waist and even just the look on her face and that hint of yellow all make for a sexy strong image that never crosses into vulgarity. it is exciting to see preen's progression, their look his very distinct, unwavering in its consistency, but yet, i feel, they continuously bring something new, and thats exciting, its why we keep watching season after season...
