Pre-fall 2016 Series: Valentino

An inspired, arty collection of elaborately decorated,  celebratory pieces, mixing thoughts of 

traditional cultural costumes, Evel Knievel,/racecar drivers, Mexico/Kahlo & mod

Evel 

John Leguizamo as Tybalt in Romeo+Juliet (1996)

This depiction is based on an image in the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in México City

some tie-dye for good measure, w/ a gladiator-flap nod

sheer embroidered kimono, very reminiscent of both Angelina Jolie's embroidered wedding gown: 

& Gaga's Bowie tribute suit:

& 1970's Elvis, of course:

Star camo

Animal embroidery

Mexican Painter Frida Kahlo

Kahlo

Pre-fall 2016 Series: SONIA by Sonia Rykiel

Stiff trench + muted acidwash + pointy ankle booties + pilot necktie

Gives me the feeling of young women playing dress-up in slightly older clothing, so it has that brashness, that edge, but is playful.

Lacey tights seem to be a 2016 thing

Speaking of tights-- I Love white tights. SO ballet-kinderwhore

The spidery, Siouxsie ankle booties (apparently called Winklepickers) really take the concept to a smarter level.

Angsty Darling, pink + red blech

Easter supp b&w

Sheer flowery, polka dot dress + clashy lace & snakeskin

Blouse w/ long neck-tie

Velvety suits & neon jumpers
