1 _ alexander mcqueen spring/summer 2012, via english-rose.2 _ via creativeviolence.3 _ via mochatini.4 _ via hautemary.5 _ apparently, a previously unseen fragmentfrom Alexander McQueen’s final collection, pictured in dazed & confused,via bienenkiste.6 _ rodarte, via mirages.
three things:
one: to be very honest, i'm not totally pleased with the latest mcqueen collection.don't get me wrong, it's awesome, it's perfection, i love it, i covet it...but what i feel is that mcqueen was not all about what we see now...he was not all about elaborate embelishments. i think he was all about makingyour jaws drop. he was all about a story... always a different story...remember the "they shoot horses don't they" show?or the graffiti thingie... the sprayed on set gowns?i don't know, but i just feel that sarah does not think with the head of mcqueenbut rather resorts to things he had done before... i might be totally wrong, tho...also, her hands might be tied, as well... so i really don't want to be harsh on herbecause she really does an amazing job, but this is just what i feel.
two: so while i'm at kinda criticizing, i also gotta tell you that i dislike the rodartess12 collection. i can't really grasp the craze about rodarte... sure there are a few pieces i like (like the two-tone sweaters), but who's gonna wear those dresses?i have no idea whether the amateurish-looking cuts are on purpose or that's justwhat they can do.okay, so who am i to criticize other people that are doing creative workwhile i'm not... but still... also, i just had to check some reviews, and they decidedto stand behind me on this... look:"The fifties prom dress silhouettes—nipped at the waist, with all the action at theshoulders and the flaring hems—seem pitched so resolutely in the past..."this is from style.com... but wwd made a similar review.so there, i said it.
three: i don't really understand why some people change their tumblrsas often as i change my underwear... what is that about tumblr?
hopefully, you didn't read all of this. :P
