Tumblr!

So I haven't posted in so so so long.

Sorry! I'll get back to it soon I promise.

In the interim, go to my tumblr for a more up-to-the-minute visual experience.

New Banner!

So I did a new banner.

It's an image from Muse #19 Fall/Winter 2009, the Natasha Poly Obsessed issue.

This shoot was photographed by the amazing Panos Yiapanis.

And I'm Obsessed with the outfit!

Tell me what you think of it.

I'm still deciding if it's going to stay....

Spring 2010 RTW: Givenchy

There isn't too much to be said about this collection. It sort of speaks for itself.

Ricardo Tisci just continues to get better and better (although I must admit I liked last season more, but as I've said, I'm a fall man at heart).

Geometric prints at their finest.

Spring 2010 RTW: Lanvin

With all my excitement about the V&R show, my love of this stunning Lanvin show was momentarily left behind.

But here it is, in all it's genius.

Spring 2010 RTW: Viktor & Rolf

I've loved V&R for so long now that I can't even remember when it started. For example, going to their exhibition at the Barbican Gallery was one of the best moments of my life. Oh and for another example, I pretty much drown myself in Antidote.

So you can guess how excited I get about their shows every season.

And my oh my, did this one live up to my expectations.

As we all groan about credit crunches and the like, the ever thoughtful V&R boys had this to say, "With the credit crunch and everybody cutting back, we decided to cut tulle ball gowns."

And that they did, and to spectacular effect. Especially so at the moment you see Anja Rubic in a gown with the mid section blown out so it looked as if the bottom of the dress was floating on air.

Wearable? Probably not, maybe only Tilda Swinton of Bjork would wear it, but as a friend said, "Hell, I'd design a line solely based on the fact that only Tilda and Bjork would wear it." I couldn't agree more.

Add to this the luminous Róisín Murphy, heavily pregnant, in a giant puffball of a dress, performing her new song "Demon Lover" on a platform?

Things simply could not get more amazing.
