Herve Leger S/S 2010

Ok, Max Azria, we all sorta kinda know that Herve Leger was taken over in 1999. BCBG bought the name, owned it, but fired Herve Leger. Quite a backhanded deal Max, don't you think?

Herve, the maestro himself, has meanwhile opened up an atelier store Herve L. Leroux in Paris.

Now, ghoulish models aside, your last collection was quite chichi. Definitely gave the collection a few oohs and ahhs. Your S/S 2010 collection? Lacking. Can tell you're trying to move away from the chunkiness and OTT glamour of Fall but come on!

This looks like a dress designed for Balmain, but does not fit the story so the designer packed it up and offered it to you instead, in salmon.

This one is very boring.
This one is relatively nicer, I'd wear it, but I don't think I'd stun people into a, "Wow, what a nice Herve Leger piece!". Perhaps more of a, "Nice body-con dress," murmur.

Go big or go home, if you're going to use his name, live up to it.

Spy : What about Fendi?
Bunny : I'll bring my friend.

Charlie Winston - Like A Hobo

Charlie Winston makes me wanna *insert noun* and then *insert noun*.

ABSOLUTELY needs to be in the next Wes Anderson project or Kill Bill (Quentin Tarantino, I called it!) installment!

Everybody Loves a Pixie Face

Vanessa Paradis - new face of Chanel 2010 Rouge Coco de Chanel. "Hippie Pixie". Namie Amuro - the "Palm-sized Face Pixie".

Kate Moss - the "Heroin Pixie".

Jessica Stam - the "Feline Pixie".

Gemma Ward, the "Hammerhead Pixie".

Fan Bing Bing - the "Plastic Surgery Denial Pixie".

Cornelia Hesse-Honegger

This is a reminder of how Man's quest for technology and rapid advancement is costly to the environment and organisms.

Since the horrifying Chernobyl disaster in 1986, Cornelia Hesse-Honegger has collected, researched and painted morphologically disturbed insects. Turning something so distrubing into art is tremendous.

Belgrade Fashion Week // Marko Mitanovski

D'you know when I was younger I used to romanticse and imagine that my grandparents come from faraway lands, with mystical jewels and speak languages that sound like a mix between Arabic and Mongolian? Lo and behold, dad told me my grandpa's grandpa is from Uzbekistan. No joke.

Point is, I was feeling a little unsettled about the focus (that I have been giving) on major fashion shows - London, Paris, Milan... BORING! So search engine at full throttle, I stumbled upon the Belgrade Fashion Week. Wow, jackpot, foreign, fresh and funky!

After which, I did the browsing round. Stunner, interesting... wait, is that... MARKO MITANOVSKI? The guy that I remember was part of the Vauxhall Fashion Scout's show during London Fashion Week?

I am excited. B-b-b-bang!
