Martin de Thurah

I have already raved about Martin de Thurah's work in past posts, however I dont think I properly gave him credit and so here is a whole post for his work! RAD!

I first came across his name after watching the Fever Ray video for 'When I Grow Up' which I love love love love love. However I think The first time I saw his work (unbeknown to me) was in Röyksopp's video for 'What Else is There' (of course also featuring the vocals of the amaaaaaazing Karin)



Of course as well as creating these amazing music videos he is a filmaker in his own right, making such short films as 'We Who Stayed Behind' and 'Young Man Falling'.




He even made a fucking IKEA advert into a work of beauty.


Here are some more of his music videos. I can't vouch for all the music like I can Fever Ray and Royksopp, but visually they are worth it!!

Fantastic Mr Fox

You know I actually sort of didn't like the Wes Anderson Fantastic Mr Fox. Theres a few reasons: The radical change of story (Roal Dahl is literally my favourite thing, I guess im protective), The Orangeness of the sets, the Americanization - the fact that the villains were English, the way they kept saying 'cuss' instead of fuck. Also (and most of all) the way he kept doing that stupid click whistle thing. Anyway yes I didnt like it. I didnt totally hate it either though. But yeah. (SORRY ARIANNE).
ANYWAYANYWAY ANYWAY this is not the point of this here blog post. I am basically showing you these pictures of the baby fox my mum fucking RESCUED last night! she basically nursed it back to health! thats some florence nightingale shit! Little foxy (or Pip as mam named him - I prefer Foxingtons) is now in a fox rescue centre where he will be rehabilitated and then released back into the wild. AW ITS JUST LIKE A LADYBIRD BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ILU

I just can't say goodbye

16 looks. Short, sweet and dignified. I get chills just looking at these images. I have so many questions which shall remained unanswered, so instead I declaire, Thank you Lee Alexander McQueen. May we all now rest easy, and may your legacy forever remain. Long Live McQ, in spirit and in vision. Forever. xxx

Basic Space

CELINE

Yup, she did it again.
Phoebe Philo is a fucking sorceress!!!!! I dont even know how to spell that shit!!!!
Seriously though, her last two shows have been golden. Her transition from nudes and camels to browns and monochromes has maintained its soft yet sharp sophistication everyone loved from Spring/Summer. I think she also maintained the perfecrt amount of leather.

Look at the shoulder detail, bottom left!!!!!!
My personal favourite looks of the collection came towards the end of the show:

Particuarl the above look, second from far left. Look at the collar!!!

The Meltdown

CHANEL

So the Chanel show was today, and honestly I have to say it blew me away. I have to admit Ive never really paid much attention to Chanel before... its always the spectacle of the show I enjoy more than the actual clothes, but this time I really enjoyed both! Heres is an extremely cut seletion - 77 looks, shit what?

Two of my favourite looks, way cute? I really hope that they are shoes with latex socks rather than boots!

This last look was my favourite of the show, I love the fluidity of the top, so good! 

Dont have much left to say on it, after spending a million years cutting round all of these Ive sort of had a brain dry up... ask me again next week! Im off to watch Antichrist... wish me luck!

Its just a mirage...

That last post was a total accidental 'Publish Post' moment, but then I realised I didnt have anything interesting to say anyway that you couldnt read elsewhere so THERE WE GO.
Anway theres a few collections I DO want to talk about. You'll have to forgive if they come in dribs and drabs though, Im a busy bee, and Im about to buzz off to work.

First up, HUSSEIN CHALAYAN.
Hello Hussein, my fashion soulmate, hows it going this season? Pretty rad, RIGHT?

Dear H, you don't have to pretend anymore. I know you pretend to make clothes just for rich women, but I know secretly you just want to make clothes just for me. This is what you should do anyways. At least make me some shiney bergundy chelsea boots yes pls. And a squiggly red snood. Do you think the first few looks are sort of what Alexander Wang was TRYING to do? I mean visually? :)

 

 

ahhhhh my gaaaad

HAPPY BLOGIRTHDAY!!!! one year today <3 Its been rad.

I was gonna fill this post up with oscar acceptance speeches, but on most of them embedding is disabled :( You gotta watch THIS ONE though.Charlize Theron winning for Monster is another favourite even though Kieran thinks I am the biggest saddo loserrrrr for crying along with her.

Anyway since that plan has failed.... LETS HAVE A FUCKING PARTY!











I love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


sometimes

All kinds of observable differences.

Rodarte for Target lace cardigan, Old old handmedown (from my mum!) long sleeve collared Tshirt.

Ok so heres my accidental ebay purchase... Im not even lying!!! I bidded on it days ago not thinking I would win it, then I sort of regretted bidding since it was an impulse bid and I was thinking 'oh shit i actually don't have anything to wear with this!' pls I was thinking it would be totally feminine and stuff like this. Anyways then I sort of forgot about it and then I got an email from ebay saying Id won the item. ooooooops!
Anyway I have it now, and I would be lying if I said I don't totally love it. Ive been sort of dreaming about owning it ever since it hit the American blogasphere (how do you even spell that?) a few months ago.
Truth is I loved the Rodarte for Target collection. I love all the films it references. I love the colours and the textures. Fuck, I just love Rodarte. For reals. And I guess this is the closest Ill get to owning any of the real thing for a way long time so yeah. Plus I think with the right styling (I did just sort of throw this collared tshirt on for the photos, and my battery died before I got to try it with anything better) it will look good on me. Im sure. I hope. Fuck it Im gonna wear it anyway. Wooohooooo.

dem bones dem bones dem dry bones

Hai. Sorry I have been crap recently, but sometimes there is just nothing to talk about. Anyway I think Im out of my filthy mood now. And if I wasnt before, I certainly got it knocked out of me when I saw these.

DSquared2 fall 2010 shoes... Tooooooo rad.

More images from KateLovesMe:

Definately my favourite/the best shoes of the season so far, right?

OK now I have to go try on my accidental ebay purchase and then maybe Ill show you guys. But only if I can find something to wear with mustard lace. Oh you know what it is.
