Staying Weird Thru Winter

How to Not turn into a functional Bore as soon as it turns frigid?

Lutz Huelle - spring 2016

For a small decade now I've fantasized about functional (read: flat, treaded sole) thigh-high winter boots. Hence, this.

Milly - fall 2015

Shearling vest over chunky, loose sweater + belt

No. 21 - spring 2016

the shirt is Hideous, but I like the idea of muted snakeskin print in fall/winter

Hunter Original - spring 2016

Summery colours in the cold

No. 21 - fall 2015

Mohair sweater-skirt 'suit' 

Fur sweaters + heavily textured pieces

Parsons MFA - spring 2016
Thin, drapey, loose w/ irregular dye jobs

Adam Lippes - pf 2015

Preen Line - fall 2014

70sesque Ski sweater w/ full skirt Sweater Dress

Raiders of Haider

Haider Ackermann - spring 2016

Think Ship hands, pirates

Neon hair extensions, leather slouch-crotch slacks

Pointy-toed boots, frilly sheer blouse

Aymeline (I shouldn't know her name but I just like her face so much!) looks 

incredible in powder blue. And so can you.

Blazer-Shirt tucked into meshy hose under leather slacks

Mesh leotard worn under cropped, fraying jacket & trousers

Neon silk scarf

The pictures don't do this collection justice. 

I recommend watching it in motion: 

Haider Ackermann runway

Paint-splattered jacket, silk scarf as undershirt, shiny trousers & those mesh hose under again

Silk robe, tailored vest, leather slacks, hose, patterned Brogues

Some non-Haider add-ons in same vein:

J.W. Anderson - fall 2015

Big suede coat w/ snaps, wide-weft cords, pointy-ted ankle booties w/ spur thingies

Fringey skirt, knee-high pirate boots

Ann Demeulemeester - fall 2015

Classic-Cool-Gothic Ann!

Knee-high leather boots, leather leggings, stiff cincher, shiny gloves

Gary + Antonio Do Hallowe'en

Antonio Marras - spring 2016

I really enjoyed these collections (well..I love everything Gary Graham thinks of)

 & thought both were appropriate for potential

woodland creature / Victorian weirdo Hallowe'eners

Gary Graham - spring 2016

The imagination in this man pushes me out to sea
