Wow. I have no title.

This picture came up when i was doing my rounds on the daily mail website. 


Aside from the mundane, like wow Kate Moss looks good when she smiles, i like her sort crop and her cute mini dress, looks like she's having a return to form sartorial-wise, WTF is vivienne wearing, but then, that's why we love her right? she can wear a truckie cap and a garbage bag as a dress and we all think she's a goddess. Which she is, i'm just saying... there are some fashion lines that should not be crossed. Chanel did it with the cabas bag last year, and now is Viv... 

The real point of this post is to say; DAMN! LOOK AT HER LEGS! she's 63 for crying out loud... Look at them! And i'm not being rude or anything, but her face has aged, but her legs haven't. I know she's probably wearing tights or something, but tights can't hide wrinkles.. Wow, is this what Madonna is trying to achieve? I sort of prefer Viv's look better, not to draw attention to her legs by wearing freakin' leotards whenever you step out of the house but rather wear a cool dress slit up the leg and hope the flashbulbs go off. Which, of course, they inevitably will. She is wearing a garbage bag after all. Nice one Viv, you've definitely worked for those legs, you deserve some praise.

LFW; Richard Nicoll, otherwise known as the small bang with large impact

Wow. Who thought minimalism could be so sexy? As the models strutted down the catwalk in Nicoll's offering to Spring and Summer of 2009 all i could think was dayummmm girl. I suppose it had something to do with the palette, which was a delightful confection of pale, almost minty blues, bright oranges, pinks and subdued dusty greys. The whole thing together shouldn't have worked, but it did, thanks in part to Nicoll's superb execution of the boxy, loose trend and his understanding of summer. 

It was all very vanessa bruno, with the sleeveless tuxedo jackets and chiffon overlay, helmut newton and also some vintage inspiration, Nicoll used a blue brocade that has definitely seen its heyday in the 1940s or 50s. Together the collection was a real statement about how less really is more, that you don't have to use great swathes of tulle (although personally i do like a little frou myself) to make a bold statement. I liked that Nicoll's clothes were understated in a very classic but feminine way, i though some of the dresses, especially the ones that closed the show, oozed a very minimalistic sexuality.

Wearable, of course, the dresses could have gone straight off the runway and onto the red carpet. The separates were simple, but the finishing was exquisite. I particularly liked on silk chiffon tee shirt with a one-shouldered satin drape finished with beading at the collar and sleeves. It was marvellous to watch a young designer who has such a clear grasp on the techniques and tools of his craft as well as a collection that was so impressively controlled, restrained but still able to leave me with an impact.
