Christopher Kane

A 17-year-old boy I met at some random party sent me a message over myspace telling me to check out Christopher Kane's line during fashion week. I came across an outdated show; the Spring 2008 Ready to Wear line. I was much more impressed with it than the newer seasons. Anyway, to sum it up: delicate, flouncy material; thin oxfords; and crazy black and blue witchboots that ended up tying together every outfit with a satisfying punch of color.

The models remind me of The Others and Picnic At Hanging Rock.

i know it's old news, but

i just remembered how much i loved some of the pieces from Kate Moss' Spring 08 Topshop line:


my favorite, naturally, being the Pansy Tea Dress (only in this print though):

there was also another floral dress, black with smaller magenta and yellow flowers, i think, and it had a high straight-across neckline, a more tapered skirt and fitted bodice, and the kind of sleeves that puff up and then taper halfway down the upper arm. it wasn't one of the conspicuous pieces in the collection, but on second thought i think that might have actually been my favorite. i remember we got a few samples at Nylon right before the line came out, and my boss called dibs on that one. i can't find a picture though :[

at first i kind of thought Kate was a douche for modeling her own line, but i guess that's horizontal integration for ya.

anywho, i guess what i'm trying to say here is, my favorite dress style right now is definitely a floaty (chiffon?!) floral tea-style frock. (esp. with obligatory manly shoes and beefy cable-knit grandpa cardigan.)

very pretty, dignified silhouettes.

they remind me of a more grown-up Mooka Kinney.
