Givenchy Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2010

Oh. My. God. This is some next level Thora Birch as Empress Savina in Dungeons and Dragons type shit that Tisci has just pulled out right here. Perhaps he heard of my intense apathy towards Givenchy and finally decided to cater to one of my only weaknesses other than food: fantasy royal raiment. Can you not see Galadriel, Amidala, or Firiona Vie (Everquest reference, oops!) throwing a hissy fit in all of these!? I’m glad that someone picked up where Galliano left off with his French Revolution dress and armor hybrid pieces of couture past. Tisci says Frida Kahlo, I say World of Warcraft armor merchant.

Prada Autumn/Winter 2010 Lookbook pt. 1

By John | Published: July 5, 2010

What in the hot hell is going on in the minds of Miuccia and the art directors of Rem Koolhaas’s OMA team? I suppose this retro illustration phase is a quick and easy way to express the collection’s graphic nature and perhaps it is semi-fierce but Prada’s previous lookbooks have definitely been better.

Dior Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2010

By John | Published: July 5, 2010

If you haven’t noticed it before–it’s now official. The glitz and sparkle of Dior haute couture is officially a thing of the past. There is not one embroidered metallic bead or bejeweled jacket to be found in this collection. Could it be attributed to this season’s natural muse or were they simply all used up after Spring 2008′s ode to an acid trip?

I will always and forever be an ardent lover of all things Dior haute couture but if given the choice between seeing a dress that evokes an inverted tulip bouquet walk a standard runway or a completely embroidered origami dress with a four-meter tulle train and jeweled Japanese headdress make five stops along a ridiculous runway obstacle course while a sappy Fleetwood Mac cover of Songbird blares from the speakers… well, the choice is pretty obvious.

Float by Cocky Eek

By John | Published: July 5, 2010

A person is attached to a room and suspended from the ceiling by a bungiecord and being pulled under stress; after releasing the tension of the cord, the person and his room is catapulted in space, rotating through the air, lands and bounces itself of the floor to repeat the pattern of its motion.
