I like the way animals hang out in the trash and parking lots.

By now you've probably all seen the new Proenza Schouler film by Harmony Korine, coz its pretty much all over the place, and for good reason - I HEART IT. I am such a sucker for anything even resembling lo-fi cut and paste creations, and I just love the aesthetic feeling the video portrays. I think it really compliments the clothes and Jack and Lazrio were really clever and cool to do it for this season. I also love the narration... Ive used narration a bit like this in my own work when making a film a year or so ago, and its something Im definately going to use again. Seeing this has just inspired me further, ya know.
As it goes, Ive seen both positive and negative reviews of it. It seems majorly that all the fashion blogs dig it, but alot of other people are all 'Same old HK shit'. I guess for me I cant (and dont like to) compare it to any of his other films since Ive only seen Kids - which by the way I hate. Anyway for me its like this: if I like something I like it and I dont really care about much else.
Seeing it also reminded me of an interview I read months ago (I think in LULA?) with Rachel Korine (his wife yo) about his then upcoming film TRASH HUMPERS which looks ACTUALLY INSANE!!! I just saw that its already pretty much been and gone in terms of screenings - a few at the end of september in London - but the good news is you can buy it very soon on DVD and VHS!! amazing.
I literally actually have no idea what its about or anything, Im thinking its very much in keeping with the sort of narrative-less stories (oxymoronic?) he has made before. Once again it has that lofi look of being filmed on an old video camera (maybe it was? would be cool), which gives it such a creepy feel... or rather I should say it gives it an EVEN MORE creepy feel. seriously just watch the trailer for reals because its just one of those things. Im rather looking forward to seeing it even though I think I will probably freak out. In the best way of course.

I dont even know...

its ovah. O.V.A.H.

New York is over, and Im pretty glad. I dont know why but the whole thing just gave me the grumps!! I say BOO to you. Im glad London is starting and already Ive seen some killah things Ill talk about later. Before that I think I should talk about a few collections i DID like from new york. Apart from these and Rodarte, there wasnt much.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria

OK! LOVE! Oh hai random big bold font, you're fun. ANYWAY, Im totally digging this! I just think theyre really technically beautiful displaying some really great skill. Plus I just think aesthetically I love the whole vibe of the collection.

The black pieces feel tough and powerful while still feminine,while the cream and greys of the lighter pieces feel strong but soft at the same time. Some of the shapes sort of remind me of Mark fast SS10?

I don't have much to say about this collection really, apart from that I really liked these two looks? I don't even know why, but sometimes thats ok. The one on the left deserves a detail shot because the fabric has a really nice soft print, and that belt is just so rad.

Proenza Schouler

Yay! I pretty much loved this whole collection, althought I think Ive known since Pre-Fall that I would. The coloured furs are devine, the prints are so rad, as are the accessories. Love it!

Awesome!

I am so all over this.

So a few bits of pre-fall goodness have been making thier way onto the interwebs via the most stylish of bloggybloggers so Im sure this is late new by now, but when I saw the Proenza Schouler shots, I just had to show you guys here. I AM SO for this.

For me it sort of reminds me of the end of the Heathers when Winona Ryder goes up to that girl and kisses her on the cheek and shes all burn and battered and crazy and wearing that huge blazer and looking cool. But sort of a more polished gothy version of that. Do you understand me?

I just love the length and shape of this bat wing jumper over the shirt. You know I am all about jumpers over shirts in the winter (layers and all that) but it looks like Ill soon be buying an oversized black one and taking my scissors and sewing machine to it. If you look closelty and tilt your screens a bit, I think its also sort of ribbed? paired with the high waisted trousers is rad. Also I just love the electric blue leather, thats actually so crazy bones.

These are my two favourites of the peek. Two tone fur preppy jacket? O yes pleeease. And I just love how rad the oversized duffel with the grey and tarten is. I always love it when a look I love from womenswear is sort of just androgenous enough for me to be able to adapt it easily for me, and I think this is a good example and Im definately going to have it in my head next time I go shopping.

ITS OVAH!

I dont know why this has taken me so long. However its worth the wait, here be some good shit.
