Two Young Ladies

Two shy young thoughtfully dressed ladies wait patiently in the cold.  Arms crossed as to ease the shivers of a rather chilled February afternoon.  Hair impeccably coiffeured and lips contoured. The outfits inspired from another age, another time, another manner.  A rather English vintage look that probably is best described as Vivenne Westwood-ish with it's tailoring, mix of textures and pattern and a hint of fox hunting.

Simple Chic

The Milanese fashion principles are very easy to follow, keep it Simple = Chic.  What is created is a constant circle of classic elegance but in a variety of themes.  This chick-a-dee has a lovely take on a mannish feminine style.  Leather sleaved coat, tailored just enough to show a simmering female form but without losing that masculine touch.  Tailored pants, a real must.  That is something that can never die, a pair of snug, perfectly cut trousers and it gives such confidence too.  And to finish off this Mannish/Fem tale a pair of devilish pumps with metal toe caps.  You never know when you need to kick someone in the pants.

My humble opinion is that this look can be worn by any age, any culture, any body shape even with any hair colour, maybe not just in every temperature.  Slaves to fashion can get awfully cold.

Like my dear cousin once blurted out to me ''you don't need a banana on your head to be cool''.  Well maybe not everyday.

FUCK YOU! tude.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...This is Vivienne Westward Fuck You tude to it's dumbest!  Just give me the Sex Pistols and be done with it man/woman?  So I shall explain...today was the Vivienne Westwards men's collection for a/w 2012.  For those who don't understand, a whole bunch of fashionistas and kids who want to be put on blogs for being fabulous, well dressed and faux eccentric stand around and take pictures of eachother.  Some kid's pretend to get into the shows, some actually do.  Others smile at the camera, while others look sulky and pout and hunch their shoulders either due to poor posture (their mothers clearly didn't tell them off enough whilst growing up or they don't drink enough milk) or that indie crap stance/pose they do for the camera because apparently it's cool and while others give the ye olde fuck you finger (my persoanl favourite), while they secretly love and adore the attention and stare dead pan at you. Don't blink you're eyes might drop out of their socket pockets.   Sorry, I don't work for Vogue but have a lovely day.

Doin' it my way fuckers!

I personally would have worn red nail polish but that's way I'm taking pictures of you and not the other way round.

As long as you're havin' fun!

Silvio Betterelli

(To be read in New Jersey Jew voice) - What? They didn't get enough time to finish the garments?

Except for this one! This outfit is lovely!

Frankie Morello...I got distracted!

Frankie Morello a style and look I dig...just like butter!  But the well-chiseled male dancer happened to get my attention...just for a moment or maybe two?  Supermodel and Italian actress Bianca Balti was a perfect muse, concentrated like Cottee's Cordial and nicely squared like a fresh Lamington.

Supermodel Bianca Balti

She got distracted too! Look Ma, no shoes!

No comment.

 

 

Angelo Marani

Taking shots of shoes....Much harder than you think especially without the right equipment during a parade.

The Angelo Marani show was quite interesting, though I wasn't paying much attention to the clothes...So what's big right now?  Sock and sandals, which I call the 'gypsy' look or in my vocabulary dream world 'zingara' (Italian word).  The funny thing was i did have a zingara come up to me before the Gucci show because she spotted me taking shots of shoes.  'Take a picture of my shoes' she cackled with her 4 remaining teeth.  Funny, but she's in style right now!  I looked at her socks and pantofole (slippers) and decided against it...she might charge me for the photo.  My odd rationale had kicked in, sad but true she probably has more money than I!

The week that was...Milano Fashion Week 2011

Granted it was a couple of weeks ago now, but it's still fresh in my mind like a bubonic plague.  I was one of those rodents soaking it all up.  Watching, chasing, hunting for the next victim to snap, snap, snap away with my clickerty clicky (Nikon D60).  So to kick off... Here is Mr James Goldstein a VIP who if you check out his website has a lovely house, designed by John Lautner, who happened to be a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Now, that's really cool!

I must add, this cowboy (Goldstein) has beautiful piercing blue eyes, I don't do them any justice my apologies!

Before the DSQUARED show.  This was the second encounter, he was happy to see me!

Before the Gucci show...This was the first encounter, he looks suspiciously at me....
