that tanya for institute mag is friggin awesome. looks futuristic to me, love it.

it moves quicker than i can keep up with. which i dislike. better than the opposite. what happened to mcqueen and galliano?

both used drugs to cope with the pressure and life. galliano was wasted one night and went on an anti-semitic rant then lost everything, his job/company. mcqueen was really depressed, his mom recently passed, isabella blow who helped him early on in his career committed suicide. so he did cocaine one night, cut his wrists then hung himself =/

about how fast fashion moves, im reminded of this jeremy scott for moschino. brand was about clever ways to sort of poke fun at the industry. the M and mcdonalds logo does that, serving up fast fashion like fast food ;p

i am a filthy lounge rat by design (or, i used to be) and the ending threads at a thousand is part of my bluelight DNA. i cannot help it.

damn joe replying when i'm typing. i cleaned out five years of art party storage today. i passed out so hard i didn't even shower. so it's now 230 am and I'm up reading fan fiction drinking rum and lemonade and thinking about this thread. this thread is seriously important to me and i treat it respect not even shown to my personal blog. another part of the 1000 death cycle. i got a tattoo of an ouroboros from a william blake drawing. the never ending sexual immortal world. it's in a sexy place.

i need a job.

some nastya for hydro.

In my personal opinion, I would rather have continued our posts on the original thread. There were so many great posts that now have to be accessed by going to a completely different thread...

I don't know. There's nothing wrong with starting afresh, but I feel like the thread was a time capsule of sorts.

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

^honor of merging is all yours. please.

wonder what that nastya gif is from. feels familiar. and i saw that moschino show. lindsey wears nutrition facts bridal. i figured it was about commercialism and consumerism, though i hand't quite put together "serving up fast fashion like fast food."

 

[JoeTheStoner]

sweet nastya gif. love the minimalism of it those type of shots/gifs always give me a futuristic vibe of clean/sterile environments. never tried rum and lemonade tho that does sound good in this hot ass f'n weather. really tho, its either hot as f or cold in these parts =/

hehe, "nutrition facts bridal" yea i mean im not really a fan of the designs, tho it can be done in a clever way. but it just seems like what he was already doing for his own label. well scott jsut started for moschino so time will tell.

fast fashion like stories of mistreatment of models is another topic with its own darkside, working conditions in south east asian factories. billion dollar business, there's so much involved i can't even wrap my head around it tbh. one one hand working conditions, pay are horrible then on the other if you take away that industry then people don't even have that source of income they depend on =/

UGH JUST IN TIME FOR THE BLOOD MOON

Alexander McQueen F/W 2014

i'm not the biggest fan of how the dress has those wispy feathers at the bottom. that aspect works a bit better from other angles, as the dress flows and trails. quibble. i thought it was pretty on some runway girl; elle looks fucking doll.

 

[Kenickie]

NO WAY

i thought it would be too much for elle - she's still underage??? but i guess she did wear that valentino dress.

 

[modelskinny]

Sorry about that, guys. I merged the threads together and didn't reopen the thread. My apologies.

"The surrealists used to play a game called Exquisite Corpse, in which each artist would contribute an element to an image, fold it over, and pass it on to someone else who would then add his or her bit with no knowledge of what had been done before. At the end of it all, there'd be some screwball composite that would inevitably betray an unpredictable internal logic." style.com

 

[Kenickie]

Exquisite Corpse is an amazing album by Warpaint, and a horrifying novel by Poppy Z. Brite.

what the fuck has happened to us. have we all died? is something the matter? someone fallen ill?


i am, of course, swamped with work. Paris has never felt more far away than it does now, even though there are clothes in my closet that still smell of la chat, the generic laundry soap our landlady owned. with its little picture of a cat.


my coffee machine broke so now i'm stuck using the fucking french press until our new one comes in from the internet. i spent 150$ on a machine that just makes brown juice. my french press is just as fine, it just takes a ritualistic patience that Pander Bear does not have. i stand over the stove in my bathrobe, waiting on the kettle, and he grumbles about me taking too long as i stir the bloom, wait, pause, and press. my room has not recovered from france. everything smells like nectarines and garbage. everything feels sticky and ugly and panicked.

i wish i could find a better copy. i spent like two hours researching brooke shields after this. how did she meet bad brains? what she doing in a basement in dc? she was dating the son of a billionaire arms dealer when this photo was taken, and i can't get over it. one of my favorite photographs of all time.

my favorite bitch was at chanel, of course. she cut all her hair off, but it's still orange.

lord i'm depressed.

I'm posting again because this doesn't belong in F&T anywhere.

I am obsessed, obsessed with Endeavour on Masterpiece Mystery. The clothes. The clothes. The sad, miserable pretty girls in pretty clothes. Oxford murders with their poetry references, opera performances, their smart puns. I love PBS.

plus this dark skinned beauty.

"Set in mid to late-1960s Oxford, England" ... intriguing cause the 60s interest me. you mentioned the clothes, im wondering does any of the 60s, swinging london swagger make its way to oxford on the show ?

one thing that really got me stuck on mad men was the set design, clothes from the 60s in america. i'm probably reaching for endeavour to focus as much on style as mad men but can't help it.

see ya mentioned coffee in the previous post, can't remember last cup i had... but i do read http://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/ heh i'll get back to it once shit irl settles.

as far as fashion, i dunno if i've just been out of it or if couture ss15 was dull as f' aside from margiela. just love how they reappropriated objects and turned them into haute couture, like there was some old french coin currency from some thrift shop. tis kinda amusing considering the value of the currency and actual prices of couture.

even though there are clothes in my closet that still smell of la chat, the generic laundry soap our landlady owned. with its little picture of a cat.

reminds me of this documentary i saw on bbc about the fragrance industry and how different regions certain scents are bigger sellers than in others. but yea scent memory, tis one reason why im fascinated by perfume. u know how if you smell anything it can take you right back, doesn't have to be perfume, but like smelling a certain type of food cooking, soap, flower, or city air is something ya never forget.

i've been wearing comme des garcons latest fragrance "serpentine" which is suppose to smell like hyde park in london. look at the notes listed "the scent boasts notes of grass, leaves, pollen, oxygen, asphalt, and ‘a little bit of pollution" never been so can't say if its accurate but it is a great modern, uplifting scent that can be worn year round for any occasion.

last thing i'll mention. cdg serpentine bottle was designed by artist tracy emin and architect zaha hadid designed the serpentine sackler gallery located @ hyde park

so diggin her futuristic vision.

Mad Men focuses on the ad world which means people have to dress snappier. Endeavour is about crime, about normal people. The editor of the newspaper, the pretty black nurse who brings him back to life after he's been shot, etc etc. Cafes, offices, - the attention to detail! I'm a boring actuary in my dreams, and shows like this and BBC's The Hour tickle my fucking fancy.

I literally wore this yesterday.

Oona Chaplin is Marnie Madden in The Hour - christ. Her clothes.

I can't find anything else but this ridiculous gif set.

I haven't watched anything. I did flip through the stills from Dior. Those shoes man, those shoes. One of my favorites:

hm. wonder what exactly is "pollution" smell? I can't exactly say, but I can tell you the exact scent of poverty, which is an equally convoluted idea for a perfume.

Keni's scent of paris.

 

[JoeTheStoner]

i hear that. i knew my mind was reaching when the first thing i thought about it was "how they dress tho?" know exactly what you mean tho when certain shows just seem to made especially for your tastes.

absolutely adore that gif set, especially the ones with gloves. not sure if there is a specific name for those type that go up right beneath the elbow, so classy.

shoes look like what a femme fatale would wear. im finally accepting raf's work for the house lol, just took a few seasons since i was so use to the extravagant, theatrical collections of galliano.

when they go for a city air scent its likely aldehydic ( http://www.fragrantica.com/notes/Aldehydes-165.html )

comme des garcon perfume is like rei kawakubo's collections, expect anything but bland. tbh i get nothing "pollution-esque" on my skin, think they listed that just to try and make it seem avant-garde. i actually wore it this evening again, mainly green/fresh with just a bit of musk...endlessly wearable.

Keni's scent of paris.

interesting, "Created in France in 1853, Le Chat quickly became one of the most popular soap brands " i'd love to try it just for the novelty factor =)

 

[JoeTheStoner]

dope. if it didn't show the source, i woulda thought some abstract paint splatters.

where is hydro? are you ok? i'm concerned. hydro where you at bae? it's literally been a month.

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

i'm behind at the moment. soon to return. french press is the way. and what valentino dress?

 

[hydroazuanacaine]

that photo of brooke shields used to drive me insane. people would not stop reblogging it. was the only photo on her track tag for like two months. what was she doing in the basement? getting high?

only check tumblr like once a week these days. hardly know what's going on. i'm certainly not watching anything in the way of shows either. chanel looks terrible. a sampling of their fw campaign...

NSFW:

karl wants to be a photographer when he grows up.

and then check out fw couture...

ondria's dressed like a 90-year-old loon.

making it easy to say i don't have time for this shit. it can't all be bad. i need to audit the tumblr accounts i'm following. i haven't seen anything. a lot of miu miu resort, which is also disagreeable.

poverty scented perfume is the best idea i've heard today.

don would put those scarfs in SkyMall.

selecting a random inch of my desktop opened 599 documents. getting messy. i was looking for anything pretty...

karlie in rodarte fw '08. likely by autumn.

NSFW:

look how cute laneya is...
